| description | What to do when you open a PR and every time you push -- label the PR, watch CI to green, triage every review comment to a reply and a reaction, and escalate genuine design trade-offs to maintainers. Use whenever you open a PR or push a commit to one. |
pushing-commits-to-the-repo
Pushing starts a loop; it does not end the task. Work stops only when CI is green AND no comment
is left unresolved.
When you open the PR
Apply a label -- the repo triages and filters by them. Fetch the real list first with
gh label list --limit 100, because the set changes and a guessed label silently fails to apply.
Pick the one naming what the PR is (bug, enhancement, documentation) and add a topic label
where one fits (capability, primitive, agent-feature, core-change, code-mode, media,
externalization, ...): gh pr edit <number> --add-label <label>.
Labelling needs triage permission on the repo. If it fails, quote the actual error rather than
concluding you lack permission.
Before you push
- Attempt the push. If it fails, read the real error — do not preemptively decide you lack
permission from a flag or setting.
- Leave nothing unstaged or uncommitted locally, unless the user's instructions override this.
After you push — the loop
- Watch CI to a terminal state. Don't idle. If it fails, diagnose: fix if the failure is
yours; if it's a known flake or pre-existing on main, say so with evidence.
- Triage every comment (bots and humans alike). For each one:
- Valid → fix it, then reply saying what changed, and react 👍.
- Invalid → reply explaining concretely why (with code evidence), and react 👎.
- Never silently ignore a comment, and never resolve a thread without a reply.
- Escalate real trade-offs, don't guess. If a comment needs a maintainer decision (a design
choice, an API trade-off, a behavioral default), leave a comment containing: the background,
your reasoning, the decision that needs making, the trade-offs (pros/cons of each option), and
your recommendation. Then poll every 30 minutes for a reply and continue when it lands.
- Repeat until CI is green and no comment is outstanding.
