SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Interrupted or externally created pull requests often stall with no clear way to finish them: the original plan is missing, the worktree is gone, and nobody knows which steps remain. This Skill re-enters any open PR, reconstructs or locates its execution plan, and drives it to completion under the same validation, review, and labeling discipline as a freshly created pipeline PR. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Plan-based resume: Locates the tracking plan linked in the PR body, parses its Progress checklist, and resumes implementation from the first unchecked step in an isolated git worktree. - PR adoption: When a PR has no execution plan (a human's PR or a crashed run), it reconstructs the goal from the PR description, comments, review feedback, linked issues, and diff, then commits a real plan before continuing. - Concurrency-safe claiming: Uses a three-signal in-progress check (assignee, label, claim comment) with stale-lock recovery and --force override so multiple agents never clobber each other. - Use Case: A nightly automation run crashed halfway through PR #1492. Run /ot-auto-continue-pr 1492 and the agent re-claims the PR, resumes from the first unchecked plan step, runs the full validation gate and an autofix review pass, then flips the PR from draft to ready. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to resume pull request 1492 by running /ot-auto-continue-pr 1492 and let it finish the remaining plan steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume an unfinished pull request with an AI agent?▼

Run /ot-auto-continue-pr with the PR number. The agent claims the PR, checks out its head in an isolated git worktree, finds the linked execution plan, and resumes implementation from the first unchecked Progress step through validation and review.

Can an agent finish a pull request that has no execution plan?▼

Yes. The adoption procedure reconstructs the goal from the PR description, comments, review feedback, linked issues, and diff, writes it as a committed plan file, and continues under the same discipline. Use --adopt ask to confirm the plan first or --adopt off to stop instead.

What happens if another agent or human is already working on the PR?▼

A three-signal in-progress check (assignee, in-progress label, recent claim comment) runs before anything else. If someone else holds a live lock the run stops and asks; --force takes over with an override comment, and stale locks older than 60 minutes can be recovered.

Does resuming a PR rewrite its git history or open a duplicate PR?▼

No. All fixes land as new commits on the existing PR head branch; history is never rewritten and the existing PR is always updated rather than duplicated. Completed work from earlier commits is left untouched.

What validation runs before a resumed PR is marked complete?▼

Every command in the configured validation.commands gate runs in order, followed by a single authoritative review pass via ot-auto-review-pr --autofix. Only when all Progress steps are checked does the PR flip from draft to ready with Status: complete.
