Complete PRD Implementation

Complete the PRD implementation workflow including branch management, pull request creation, and issue closure.

Note: If any gh command fails with "command not found", inform the user that GitHub CLI is required and provide the installation link: https://cli.github.com/

Workflow Steps

0. Implementation Type Detection

FIRST: Determine the type of PRD completion to choose the appropriate workflow

Documentation-Only Completion (Skip PR workflow):

• ✅ Changes are only to PRD files or project management documents
• ✅ No source code changes
• ✅ No configuration changes
• ✅ Feature was already implemented in previous work
• → Use Simplified Workflow (Steps 1, 2-simplified, 5 only)

Code Implementation Completion (Full PR workflow):

• ✅ Contains source code changes
• ✅ Contains configuration changes
• ✅ Contains new functionality or modifications
• ✅ Requires testing and integration
• → Use Full Workflow (Steps 1-6)

1. Pre-Completion Validation

• All PRD checkboxes completed: Verify every requirement is implemented and tested
• Documentation updated: All user-facing docs reflect implemented functionality
• No outstanding blockers: All dependencies resolved and technical debt addressed
• Update PRD status: Mark PRD as "Complete" with completion date
• Archive PRD file: Move completed PRD to ./prds/done/ directory to maintain project organization
• Update ROADMAP.md (if it exists): Remove the completed feature from docs/ROADMAP.md roadmap if the file exists

Note: Tests will run automatically in the CI/CD pipeline when the PR is created. Do not run tests locally during the completion workflow.

2. Branch and Commit Management

For Documentation-Only Completions:

• Commit directly to main: git add [prd-files] and commit with skip CI flag
• Use skip CI commit message: Include CI skip pattern in commit message to avoid unnecessary CI runs
  • Common patterns: [skip ci], [ci skip], ***NO_CI***, [skip actions]
  • Check project's CI configuration for the correct pattern
• Push to remote: git pull --rebase origin main && git push origin main to sync changes

For Code Implementation Completions:

• Create feature branch: git checkout -b feature/prd-[issue-id]-[feature-name]
• Commit all changes: Ensure all implementation work is committed
• Clean commit history: Squash or organize commits for clear history
• Push to remote: git push -u origin feature/prd-[issue-id]-[feature-name]

3. Pull Request Creation

IMPORTANT: Always check for and use PR template if available

3.1. PR Template Detection and Parsing

• Check for PR template in common locations:

  • .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
  • .github/pull_request_template.md
  • .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/ (directory with multiple templates)
  • docs/pull_request_template.md

• Read and parse template comprehensively: If found, analyze the template to extract:

  • Structural elements: Required sections, checklists, format requirements
  • Content requirements: What information needs to be provided in each section
  • Process instructions: Any workflow enhancements or prerequisites specified in the template
  • Validation requirements: Any checks, sign-offs, or verifications mentioned

• Extract actionable instructions from template:

  • Commit requirements: Look for DCO sign-off, commit message format, commit signing requirements
  • Pre-submission actions: Build commands, test commands, linting, format checks
  • Documentation requirements: Which docs must be updated, links that must be added
  • Review requirements: Required reviewers, approval processes, special considerations

  Examples of template instructions to identify and execute:

  • "All commits must include a Signed-off-by line" → Validate commits have DCO sign-off, amend if missing
  • "Run npm test before submitting" → Execute test command
  • "PR title follows Conventional Commits format" → Validate title format
  • "Update CHANGELOG.md" → Check if changelog was updated
  • Any bash commands shown in code blocks → Consider if they should be executed

3.2. Analyze Changes for PR Content

• Review git diff: Analyze git diff main...HEAD to understand scope of changes
• Review commit history: Use git log main..HEAD to understand implementation progression
• Identify change types: Determine if changes include:
  • New features, bug fixes, refactoring, documentation, tests, configuration, dependencies
  • Breaking changes or backward-compatible changes
  • Performance improvements or security fixes
• Check modified files: Identify which areas of codebase were affected
  • Source code files
  • Test files
  • Documentation files
  • Configuration files

3.3. Auto-Fill PR Information

Automatically populate what can be deduced from analysis:

• PR Title:

  • Follow template title format if specified (e.g., Conventional Commits: feat(scope): description)
  • Extract from PRD title/description and commit messages
  • Include issue reference if required by template

• Description sections:

  • What/Why: Extract from PRD objectives and implementation details
  • Related issues: Automatically link using Closes #[issue-id] or Fixes #[issue-id]
  • Type of change: Check appropriate boxes based on file analysis

• Testing checklist:

  • Mark "Tests added/updated" if test files were modified
  • Note: Tests run in CI/CD automatically

• Documentation checklist:

  • Mark items based on which docs were updated (README, API docs, code comments)
  • Check if CONTRIBUTING.md guidelines followed

• Security checklist:

  • Scan commits for potential secrets or credentials
  • Flag if authentication/authorization code changed
  • Note any dependency updates

3.4. Prompt User for Information That Cannot Be Deduced

IMPORTANT: Don't just ask - analyze and propose answers, then let user confirm or correct

For each item, use available context to propose an answer, then present it to the user for confirmation:

• Manual testing results:

  • Analyze PRD testing strategy section to understand what testing was planned
  • Check git commits for testing-related messages
  • Propose testing approach based on change type (e.g., "Documentation reviewed for accuracy and clarity, cross-references validated")
  • Present proposal and ask: "Is this accurate, or would you like to modify?"

• Breaking changes:

  • Scan commits and PRD for breaking change indicators
  • If detected, propose migration guidance based on PRD content
  • If not detected, confirm: "No breaking changes detected. Correct?"

• Performance implications:

  • Analyze change type: Documentation/config changes typically have no performance impact
  • Propose answer based on analysis (e.g., "No performance impact - documentation only")
  • Ask: "Correct, or are there performance considerations?"

• Security considerations:

  • Check if security-sensitive files were modified (auth, credentials, API keys)
  • Scan commits for security-related keywords
  • Propose security status (e.g., "No security implications - documentation changes only")
  • Ask: "Accurate, or are there security considerations to document?"

• Reviewer focus areas:

  • Analyze PRD objectives and git changes to identify key areas
  • Propose specific focus areas (e.g., "Verify documentation accuracy, check cross-reference links, confirm workflow examples match implementation")
  • Present list and ask: "Are these the right focus areas, or should I adjust?"

• Follow-up work:

  • Check PRD for "Future Enhancements" or "Out of Scope" sections
  • Analyze other PRDs in prds/ directory for related work
  • Propose follow-up items if any (e.g., "Future enhancements listed in PRD: template validation, AI-powered descriptions")
  • Ask: "Should I list these, or is there other follow-up work?"

• Additional context:

  • Review PRD for special considerations
  • Check if this is a dogfooding/testing PR
  • Propose any relevant context (e.g., "This PR itself tests the enhanced workflow it documents")
  • Ask: "Anything else reviewers should know?"

Presentation Format: Present all proposed answers together in a summary format:

📋 **Proposed PR Information** (based on analysis)

**Manual Testing:** [proposed answer]
**Breaking Changes:** [proposed answer]
**Performance Impact:** [proposed answer]
**Security Considerations:** [proposed answer]
**Reviewer Focus:** [proposed list]
**Follow-up Work:** [proposed items or "None"]
**Additional Context:** [proposed context or "None"]

Please review and respond:
- Type "yes" or "confirm" to accept all
- Specify corrections for any items that need changes

3.5. Execute Template Requirements

IMPORTANT: Before creating the PR, identify and execute any actionable requirements from the template

• Analyze template for actionable instructions:

  • Scan template content for imperative statements, requirements, or commands
  • Look for patterns like "must", "should", "run", "execute", "ensure", "verify"
  • Identify bash commands in code blocks that appear to be prerequisites
  • Extract any validation requirements mentioned in checklists

• Categorize identified requirements:

  • Commit-level actions: Sign-offs, formatting, validation
  • Pre-submission commands: Tests, builds, lints, format checks
  • Validation checks: File existence, format compliance, content requirements
  • Documentation actions: Required updates, links to add

• Propose and execute requirements:

  • Present identified requirements to user: "Template specifies these actions: [list]"
  • For each requirement, determine if it can be automated
  • Propose execution: "Should I execute these now?"
  • Execute confirmed actions and report results
  • Handle failures gracefully and ask user how to proceed

• Summary before PR creation:

  ✅ Template Requirements Status:
  [List each requirement with status: executed/validated/skipped/failed]
  
  Ready to create PR? (yes/no)
  

3.6. Detect and Apply PR Label (if release.yml exists)

IMPORTANT: Only apply labels if .github/release.yml exists - fully dynamic based on that file

• Check for .github/release.yml:

  • If file exists → Proceed with label detection
  • If file doesn't exist → Skip label detection, proceed to create PR without labels

• If release.yml exists, parse it to understand available categories and labels:

  • Read the YAML file
  • Extract all category definitions with their associated labels
  • Build a mapping of: category → list of labels
  • Note the category order (categories listed first are typically more important)

• Analyze PR characteristics:

  • Primary change type: What is the MAIN purpose of this PR?
  • File changes: Types of files modified (extensions, paths, purposes)
  • Change scope: Which areas of codebase affected
  • Commit messages: Keywords, patterns, prefixes
  • PR title and description: Keywords indicating change type
  • PRD context: Original problem/solution description

• Select the SINGLE best-matching label:

  • For each category in release.yml, score how well it matches the PR's PRIMARY purpose
  • Consider the importance hierarchy from release.yml:
    • Breaking changes > New features > Bug fixes > Documentation > Dependencies > Other
  • Select ONE label from the category that BEST represents the main change
  • Why single label?: Prevents PRs from appearing in multiple release note categories
  • Selection priority:
    1. If any breaking changes → use breaking-change or breaking
    2. If primarily new functionality → use feat, feature, or enhancement
    3. If primarily fixing bugs → use fix, bug, or bugfix
    4. If primarily documentation → use documentation or docs
    5. If primarily dependencies → use dependencies, deps, or dependency
    6. Otherwise → no specific label needed (will appear in "Other Changes")

• Apply detected label: Add the single best-matching label to the PR creation command

  • Example: gh pr create --title "..." --body "..." --label "fix"

3.7. Create Pull Request

• Construct PR body: Combine auto-filled and user-provided information following template structure
• Create PR:
  • If label detected: gh pr create --title "[title]" --body "[body]" --label "[single-label]"
  • If no release.yml or no matching label: gh pr create --title "[title]" --body "[body]"
• Verify PR created: Confirm PR was created successfully, template populated correctly, and label applied (if applicable)
• Request reviews: Assign appropriate team members for code review if specified

3.8. Fallback for Projects Without Templates

If no PR template is found, create a sensible default structure:

## Description
[What this PR does and why]

## Related Issues
Closes #[issue-id]

## Changes Made
- [List key changes]

## Testing
- [Testing approach and results]

## Documentation
- [Documentation updates made]

4. Review and Merge Process

• Check ongoing processes: Use gh pr checks [pr-number] to check for any ongoing CI/CD, security analysis, or automated reviews (CodeRabbit, CodeQL, etc.)
• Check PR details: Use gh pr view [pr-number] to check for human review comments and PR metadata
• Review all automated feedback: Check PR comments section for automated code review feedback (bots, linters, analyzers)
  • Use multiple methods to capture all feedback:
    • MCP servers (preferred when available): Use any available MCP servers for comprehensive review data
      • Code review MCPs (e.g., CodeRabbit, custom review servers) for detailed AI code reviews
      • Check available MCP tools/functions related to code reviews, pull requests, or automated feedback
    • CLI commands: gh pr view [pr-number], gh pr checks [pr-number], gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/[pr-number]/comments
    • Web interface inspection: Fetch the PR URL directly to capture all comments, including inline code suggestions that CLI tools may miss
    • Look for comments from automated tools (usernames ending in 'ai', 'bot', or known review tools)
• Present ALL code review findings: ALWAYS present every review comment to the user, regardless of severity
  • Show ALL comments: Present every suggestion, nitpick, and recommendation - do not filter or omit any
  • Categorize findings: Critical, Important, Optional/Nitpick based on impact
  • Provide specific examples: Quote actual suggestions and their locations
  • Explain assessment: Why each category was assigned
  • User decision: Let user decide which improvements to implement before merge (critical items must be addressed, others are user's choice)
• Assess feedback priority: Categorize review feedback
  • Critical: Security issues, breaking changes, test failures - MUST address before merge
  • Important: Code quality, maintainability, performance - SHOULD address for production readiness
  • Optional: Style preferences, minor optimizations - MAY address based on project standards
• Wait for ALL reviews to complete: Do NOT merge if any reviews are pending or in progress, including:
  • Automated code reviews (CodeRabbit, CodeQL, etc.) - Must wait until complete even if CI passes
  • Security analysis - Must complete and pass
  • CI/CD processes - All builds and tests must pass
  • Human reviews - If requested reviewers haven't approved
  • CRITICAL: Never skip automated code reviews - they provide valuable feedback even when CI passes
• Address review feedback: Make required changes from code review (both automated and human)
  • Create additional commits on the feature branch to address feedback
  • Update tests if needed to cover suggested improvements
  • Document any feedback that was intentionally not addressed and why
• Verify all checks pass: Ensure all CI/CD, tests, security analysis, and automated processes are complete and passing
• Final review: Confirm the PR addresses the original PRD requirements and maintains code quality
• Merge to main: Complete the pull request merge only after all feedback addressed and processes complete
• Verify deployment: Ensure feature works in production environment
• Monitor for issues: Watch for any post-deployment problems

5. Issue Closure

• Update issue PRD link: Update the GitHub issue description to reference the new PRD path in ./prds/done/ directory
• Close GitHub issue: Add final completion comment and close
• Archive artifacts: Save any temporary files or testing data if needed
• Team notification: Announce feature completion to relevant stakeholders

6. Branch Cleanup

• Switch to main branch: git checkout main
• Pull latest changes: git pull origin main to ensure local main is up to date
• Delete local feature branch: git branch -d feature/prd-[issue-id]-[feature-name]
• Delete remote feature branch: git push origin --delete feature/prd-[issue-id]-[feature-name]

Success Criteria

✅ Feature is live and functional
✅ All tests passing in production
✅ Documentation is accurate and complete
✅ PRD issue is closed with completion summary
✅ Team is notified of feature availability

The PRD implementation is only considered done when users can successfully use the feature as documented.
