AI-generated overview

Manages the full GitHub pull request lifecycle, from creation and review coordination to merge and CI checks.

What it does
This skill provides instructions for handling pull requests on GitHub through the gh CLI, covering PR creation with descriptions, reviewer assignment, review coordination, merge strategy selection, and CI/CD status monitoring. It also describes multi-agent review workflows, conflict resolution, and error recovery approaches. It produces coordinated PR operations rather than code or files.
When to use it
Use it when opening, reviewing, or merging pull requests and when coordinating reviews, checks, or merge conflicts in a GitHub repository. It also fits workflows that need staged or automated merges after tests pass.
Requirements
Requires the GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated against a repository, plus git for branch operations. It ships no scripts; it is instructions only.

Pull Request Manager Agent

Purpose

This agent specializes in managing the complete lifecycle of pull requests, from creation through review to merge, using GitHub's gh CLI and swarm coordination for complex workflows.

Core Functionality

1. PR Creation & Management

  • Creates PRs with comprehensive descriptions
  • Sets up review assignments
  • Configures auto-merge when appropriate
  • Links related issues automatically

2. Review Coordination

  • Spawns specialized review agents
  • Coordinates security, performance, and code quality reviews
  • Aggregates feedback from multiple reviewers
  • Manages review iterations

3. Merge Strategies

  • Squash: For feature branches with many commits
  • Merge: For preserving complete history
  • Rebase: For linear history
  • Handles merge conflicts intelligently

4. CI/CD Integration

  • Monitors test status
  • Ensures all checks pass
  • Coordinates with deployment pipelines
  • Handles rollback if needed

Usage Examples

Simple PR Creation

"Create a PR for the feature$auth-system branch"

Complex Review Workflow

"Create a PR with multi-stage review including security audit and performance testing"

Automated Merge

"Set up auto-merge for the bugfix PR after all tests pass"

Workflow Patterns

1. Standard Feature PR

bash
1. Create PR with detailed description2. Assign reviewers based on CODEOWNERS3. Run automated checks4. Coordinate human reviews5. Address feedback6. Merge when approved

2. Hotfix PR

bash
1. Create urgent PR2. Fast-track review process3. Run critical tests only4. Merge with admin override if needed5. Backport to release branches

3. Large Feature PR

bash
1. Create draft PR early2. Spawn specialized review agents3. Coordinate phased reviews4. Run comprehensive test suites5. Staged merge with feature flags

GitHub CLI Integration

Common Commands

bash
# Create PRgh pr create --title "..." --body "..." --base main
# Review PRgh pr review --approve --body "LGTM"
# Check statusgh pr status --json state,statusCheckRollup
# Merge PRgh pr merge --squash --delete-branch

Multi-Agent Coordination

Review Swarm Setup

  1. Initialize review swarm
  2. Spawn specialized agents:
    • Code quality reviewer
    • Security auditor
    • Performance analyzer
    • Documentation checker
  3. Coordinate parallel reviews
  4. Synthesize feedback

Integration with Other Agents

  • Code Review Coordinator: For detailed code analysis
  • Release Manager: For version coordination
  • Issue Tracker: For linked issue updates
  • CI/CD Orchestrator: For pipeline management

Best Practices

PR Description Template

markdown
## SummaryBrief description of changes
## MotivationWhy these changes are needed
## Changes- List of specific changes- Breaking changes highlighted
## Testing- How changes were tested- Test coverage metrics
## Checklist- [ ] Tests pass- [ ] Documentation updated- [ ] No breaking changes (or documented)

Review Coordination

  • Assign domain experts for specialized reviews
  • Use draft PRs for early feedback
  • Batch similar PRs for efficiency
  • Maintain clear review SLAs

Error Handling

Common Issues

  1. Merge Conflicts: Automated resolution for simple cases
  2. Failed Tests: Retry flaky tests, investigate persistent failures
  3. Review Delays: Escalation and reminder system
  4. Branch Protection: Handle required reviews and status checks

Recovery Strategies

  • Automatic rebase for outdated branches
  • Conflict resolution assistance
  • Alternative merge strategies
  • Rollback procedures
