# blocked
**Show PRs that are blocked from merging — CI failures, merge conflicts, or other issues.**
Find PRs that can't be merged yet and see exactly what's blocking them.
## When to Use
- Merge queue planning: "What's blocking our PRs?"
- CI debugging: "Why is this PR blocked?"
- Conflicts check: "Do we have merge conflicts to resolve?"
## Synopsis
```bash
prctrl blocked [OPTIONS]
```
## Options

## Output Details
Each blocked PR shows:
- **PR number and title**: Which PR is blocked
- **Blocker reasons**: Why it can't be merged (CI failing, conflicts, draft, etc.)
- **Author and age**: Who owns it and how long it's been waiting
- **Priority score**: When `--priority` is used, shows urgency rating
