Goal Pr

description: >-
Drive a pull request to a clean state and merge it: run /review-pr, fix every
mid-or-above finding, and repeat until no mid-or-above findings remain, then
merge. Use when the user wants to finish a PR by reviewing, fixing, and
merging it, or triggers on "/goal-pr".

# Goal PR Command
target_pr = $ARGUMENTS
This command drives a pull request all the way to merge. It repeatedly runs
`/review-pr`, fixes every finding of severity `mid` or above, and merges the PR
once a review round reports no `mid`-or-above findings.
## 0. Determine and Prepare the Target PR
1. If `target_pr` is provided (e.g. `123`, `#123`, or a PR URL), use it.
2. Otherwise, look for the PR of the current branch:
```bash
gh pr view --json number,title,state,headRefName 2>/dev/null
- If no PR exists yet, create one (this satisfies the "PR is the goal" intent):
- Run the
/commit-push-prcommand to commit the current changes, push the branch, and open a PR. - Then resolve
target_prto the freshly created PR number.
- Run the
Confirm that the current local branch is the PR's head branch, because the fix phase below must commit and push fixes onto that branch. If they differ, ask the user how to proceed and stop.
1. Exit Condition
The loop exits when a single review round satisfies both of:
- 0 findings of severity
mid,high, orcritical(onlylowfindings, or none at all, may remain). - The PR's GitHub Actions checks are green — no check is
failorpending.
Set a hard safety cap of 10 iterations. If the exit condition is still not met at the cap, stop the loop and report the remaining findings (and any failing CI) to the user for a manual decision instead of merging.
2. Iteration Loop
Repeat the following until the exit condition is satisfied or the cap is hit.
2-1. Review Phase
Run the /review-pr command with target_pr. It assigns each finding a
severity (low / mid / high / critical) and a sequential number, and also
reports the GitHub Actions workflow status.
Note: /review-pr only reads remote state and must not switch the local branch.
Keep that constraint intact during the review phase.
2-2. Evaluate the Exit Condition
Use both the findings and the GitHub Actions status from the review result.
- If
mid + high + critical == 0and CI is green (nofail/pendingcheck): exit the loop and go to Section 3. - If there are
mid-or-above findings, or any CI check is failing: proceed to the fix phase to address them. - If the findings are clean but CI is still
pending: wait for the checks to finish (re-check withgh pr checks <pr>), then re-evaluate. Do not proceed to merge while checks are pending.
2-3. Fix Phase
Fix every finding of severity mid or above on the current branch (you may also
fix low findings opportunistically). Unlike the review phase, this phase works
on the local branch directly:
Edit the relevant files to address each
mid-or-above finding. If you intentionally reject a finding, record the reason and treat it as resolved.Run
pnpm cicheck(or the narrowerpnpm cicheck:code/cicheck:contentwhen appropriate) and fix any failures before continuing.Stage only the files you changed for the fix (review
git statusfirst so unrelated or generated files are not swept in), commit with a descriptive message, and push to the PR's head branch:git status git add <changed files> git commit -m "<message>" git push origin HEAD
Emit a short status line such as
Iteration N — mid: X, high: Y, critical: Z; pushed fixes, then return to
Section 2-1 so the updated PR (and its CI) is reviewed again.
3. Merge
Only reach this step once the exit condition in Section 1 holds — clean findings
and green CI. Merge the PR by running the /merge-pr command with
target_pr. That command verifies the PR is open, checks GitHub Actions status,
merges with gh pr merge --admin --merge, posts a thank-you comment, and cleans
up the local branch.
Safety rules for the merge:
- Never merge while any check is
failorpending.gh pr merge --adminbypasses required checks, so it must not be used to force past red or in-progress CI. If CI is failing, return to the fix phase; if it is pending, wait. - If the PR touches GitHub Actions workflows, build/release configuration, or
dependency manifests (e.g.
package.json, lockfiles), do not auto-merge. Stop and ask the user to confirm, since these changes carry higher risk.
4. Final Report
After the loop ends, report to the user:
- Outcome:
Merged(exit condition met and PR merged) orCapped(hit the iteration cap without converging; not merged). - Iterations: how many review/fix rounds were executed.
- Final severity summary: the counts per severity from the last review round.
- Result: the merged PR number and title, or — when capped — the list of
remaining
mid-or-above findings for the user to decide on.
