SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

PR workflows often stall on CI failures, reviewer feedback, and manual cleanup after merges. This Skill automates the end-to-end PR lifecycle from CI checks to merge and cleanup, reducing manual coordination and human error.

Core Features & Use Cases

CI monitoring: tracks current PR's CI status and reacts to failure, pending, or success.
CodeRabbit integration: fetches unresolved reviews and assists in implementing fixes, then communicates updates back to reviewers.
Merge & cleanup automation: automatically merges when CI passes and performs branch cleanup, while logging steps for auditing.
Use Case: A developer opens a PR; the Skill verifies CI, implements reviewer feedback via CodeRabbit, merges the PR, and cleans up branches, all with minimal human intervention.

Quick Start

Execute the PR lifecycle automation on an active repository to automatically manage PRs from detection to cleanup.
