Watch UAT PR (Azure DevOps)
Purpose
UAT polling is historically brittle. This skill standardizes the watch loop so the agent can reliably wait for Maintainer feedback/approval using a single stable command.
This skill uses the repo wrapper script scripts/uat-watch-azdo.sh, which repeatedly calls scripts/uat-azdo.sh poll until:
- PR status becomes
completed, or
- an approval vote is detected, or
- approval keywords are detected in non-agent comments, or
- a timeout is reached.
Hard Rules
Must
- Use
scripts/uat-watch-azdo.sh (single stable command).
- Prefer reviewer votes / PR completion as the strongest approval signal.
Must Not
- Spam threads or post follow-ups while waiting.
- Run many ad-hoc
az/az devops invoke calls; prefer the wrapper.
Actions
1. Watch the PR
scripts/uat-watch-azdo.sh <pr-id>
2. Optional: Tune polling interval / timeout
scripts/uat-watch-azdo.sh <pr-id> --interval-seconds 60 --timeout-seconds 3600
Output
- Exit code
0: approval detected / PR completed (treat as pass)
- Exit code
1: timed out (treat as incomplete; ask Maintainer)
