SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manually driving a GitHub issue from triage to a merged-ready PR involves many repetitive steps: validating the issue, creating branches, writing code, running tests, monitoring CI, and handling review feedback. This Skill orchestrates that entire lifecycle autonomously so a single command turns an issue number into a ready-for-review PR. ## Core Features & Use Cases - End-to-End Issue Workflow: Fetches and validates the issue, claims it, creates a git worktree, delegates implementation to sub-agents, commits, pushes, and opens a draft PR. - CI Monitoring and Self-Healing: Polls CI checks, reads failure logs, and dispatches fix sub-agents until all checks pass, with retry limits and user escalation. - Automated PR Review Loop: Runs a structured PR review, fixes MUST FIX and SHOULD FIX findings, then promotes the PR from draft to ready. - Use Case: A maintainer runs the workflow on issue #42 ("Add pagination to list endpoints") and receives a CI-green, review-clean PR on branch feature/issue-42-add-pagination-to-list-endpoints without writing code manually. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to implement GitHub issue number 123 using the implement-issue workflow and wait for the ready-for-review PR link.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically implement a GitHub issue with an AI agent?

Invoke the workflow with an issue number, such as /implement-issue 123. The coordinator fetches and validates the issue, creates a git worktree, delegates coding to sub-agents, commits, pushes, and opens a draft PR.

How to fix failing CI checks on a pull request automatically?

The workflow polls gh pr checks until completion, reads failing run logs with gh run view, and dispatches a CI-fix sub-agent with the failure details. Fixes are committed and pushed, repeating up to three attempts before pausing for the user.

What happens if a GitHub issue lacks enough detail to implement?

The validation phase checks that the issue is open, has a descriptive title, a non-empty body, and clear acceptance criteria. If validation fails, the workflow stops and offers to help refine the issue instead of proceeding.

Does this workflow work with pre-commit hooks and lint failures?

Yes. Sub-agents run make test and make lint before handoff, and hook failures are delegated to fix sub-agents. The coordinator never uses --no-verify or --amend after pushing; every fix lands as a new commit.

When should I not use an autonomous issue-to-PR workflow?

Avoid it for ambiguous requirements, open blocking questions in issue comments, or design decisions needing human judgment. The workflow pauses and asks the user whenever it cannot proceed autonomously.
