SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of maintainers having to decide between multiple competing pull requests for the same issue—without a reliable, repeatable process to weigh correctness, quality, and merge-readiness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PR discovery for a single issue: Finds candidate open PRs using issue-to-PR linkage, file-touch expansion, and title-token similarity.
  • Deterministic multi-tier gating: Applies Tier 0 “merge is possible” gates (PR open, CI green on latest SHA, mergeable/clean, branch protection, and resolved automated reviewer threads).
  • Correctness and quality scoring: Runs Tier 1 correctness and Tier 2 quality checks and computes a weighted score with an auditable reasoning trace.
  • Tier 3 deterministic ranking + degraded mode: Uses supersession and other tiebreakers when gates pass; otherwise ranks by distance-to-ready and outputs salvage steps.

Quick Start

Use the nemoclaw-maintainer-pr-comparator skill to compare the two+ open PRs targeting the same issue and return a deterministic verdict with a scorecard and evidence trace.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the best pull request to merge when multiple PRs address the same GitHub issue?

To choose the best pull request, you can compare competing PRs using deterministic multi-tier gating, correctness checks, and weighted quality scoring to generate an evidence-backed merge verdict.

What is deterministic PR comparison and how does it help with maintainer decision support?

Deterministic PR comparison evaluates competing pull requests against fixed gates like CI status and mergeability, then applies weighted scoring to produce an auditable, evidence-backed recommendation for which PR to merge.

How do I automate code review gating to check if a pull request is merge-ready?

You can automate code review gating by checking if a PR is open, has green CI on the latest SHA, is mergeable, and has resolved automated reviewer threads via GraphQL before proceeding to correctness scoring.

Can I use LLM-assisted correctness checks to compare pull requests for the same issue?

Yes, LLM-assisted correctness checks can be applied as Tier 1 evaluations alongside Tier 2 quality checks to compute a weighted score that informs the final deterministic ranking of competing pull requests.

What happens when competing PRs fail the CI gating or merge-readiness checks?

When PRs fail gating checks, the system enters a degraded mode that ranks candidates by distance-to-ready and outputs salvage steps to guide maintainers on what is needed to make a PR mergeable.

Does pull request comparison require GitHub CLI access to discover and evaluate candidate PRs?

Yes, pull request comparison requires GitHub API or CLI access via gh to discover candidate PRs through issue-to-PR linkage, file-touch expansion, and title-token similarity before running gating and scoring checks.
