SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you reliably land a specific pull request by resolving conflicts, addressing unaddressed bot review threads, and fixing failing CI so the PR can be merged safely.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end PR finishing: Selects the target PR (by argument or current branch), validates mergeability/gates, and performs the final squash merge.
  • Conflict resolution and correctness checks: When the PR is dirty or behind, it merges in a clean worktree, resolves conflicts file-by-file, and requires just check to pass before pushing.
  • Bot feedback closure: Finds unresolved non-outdated bot review threads and either fixes the underlying issues or posts a dismissive explanation and then resolves the threads.
  • CI stabilization: Diagnoses failed checks, distinguishes real failures from transient workflow issues, and retries or retriggers CI until all required checks are green.
  • Use Case: When your PR is almost ready but CI is red and bots left threads unresolved, this Skill drives the PR through every final cleanup step until it is merge-ready.

Quick Start

Tell the assistant: "Land #842 and squash-merge it once all checks are green."
