Approve PR creation
Record human approval for commit, push, and PR creation. Interactive runs confirm in chat;
this skill is the headless fallback that records the same marker. This approves creating the
PR, not merging it.
- Read
.shepherd/_progress.md plus the latest iter-*/review-*.md and
iter-*/final-review-*.md files if present. Summarize the change, oracle status, and
verdicts.
- If tests are not green or any verdict is
FAIL, warn the user and confirm they still want to
proceed.
- Write the marker:
mkdir -p .shepherd
printf 'approved_at=%s\napproved_commit=%s\nnote=create-PR approved by human via /shepherd-approve-create-pr\n' \
"$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" "$(git rev-parse HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo none)" \
> .shepherd/_create_pr.approved
- Confirm briefly, then invoke
/shepherd so it resumes into finish.
This skill records approval only; it does not push or merge.
