kc-pr-daemon

name	kc-pr-daemon
description	Use when user says 'start daemon', 'stop daemon', 'daemon status', 'pr daemon', 'daemon config', 'daemon 掛了', 'daemon error', '啟動 daemon', '停止 daemon', 'daemon 狀態', or wants to manage, configure, or troubleshoot the PR review closed-loop daemon.
argument-hint	[start | stop | status | config]

All text output follows unified language preference. See plugin CLAUDE.md for query flow.

Overview

Manage the PR Review Closed-Loop Daemon — an external shell loop that automatically reviews and fixes PRs using claude -p.

Config: ~/.claude/kc-plugins-config/pr-flow/daemon.yaml Script: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/pr-review-daemon.sh Usage log: ~/.claude/audit/pr-daemon-usage.jsonl

Default (no subcommand)

When invoked without a subcommand (/kc-pr-daemon, pr daemon, daemon), show overview + status + next step:

PR Review Daemon
────────────────
Commands:
  /kc-pr-daemon start   — start daemon (mprocs or direct)
  /kc-pr-daemon stop    — stop daemon
  /kc-pr-daemon status  — usage stats (cost, iterations, last action)
  /kc-pr-daemon config  — view/edit settings

{status block — run the `status` bash snippet below}

Suggested next step:
  {if no usage log} → /kc-pr-daemon config — set up config first
  {if last run > 24h ago} → /kc-pr-daemon start — daemon not running
  {if last action was STUCK} → Check PR #{N} — daemon flagged it as stuck
  {if running normally} → /kc-pr-daemon status — view detailed stats

Commands

start

Option A — via project wrapper (recommended for teams):

Projects can ship a thin wrapper at .claude/scripts/pr-review-daemon.sh that reads plugin_dir from daemon.yaml and execs the plugin script. This keeps mprocs.yaml portable:

# mprocs.yaml (checked into repo — no user-specific paths)
pr-daemon:
  cmd: ["bash", ".claude/scripts/pr-review-daemon.sh"]
  autostart: false
  env:
    POLL_INTERVAL: "300"

Each user sets their plugin path in config:

# ~/.claude/kc-plugins-config/pr-flow/daemon.yaml
plugin_dir: /path/to/kc-pr-flow

Option B — direct (personal use):

cd <project-root>
bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/pr-review-daemon.sh

Tell the user the plugin path: Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/pr-review-daemon.sh to get the absolute path.

stop

If running in mprocs: instruct user to press s on the pr-daemon process. If running in terminal: Ctrl+C.

status

Show daemon status from the usage log:

USAGE_LOG="$HOME/.claude/audit/pr-daemon-usage.jsonl"
if [[ -s "$USAGE_LOG" ]]; then
  echo "=== PR Daemon Usage ==="
  jq -rs '{
    total_iterations: length,
    total_cost: ([.[].cost] | add | . * 10000 | round / 10000),
    this_month: ([.[] | select(.ts[:7] == (now | strftime("%Y-%m")))] | {
      iterations: length,
      cost: ([.[].cost] | add | . * 10000 | round / 10000)
    }),
    last_action: (last | {ts, action, cost}),
    actions_taken: ([.[] | select(.action != "" and .action != "Action taken: NONE (all skipped)")] | length)
  }' < "$USAGE_LOG"
else
  echo "No usage data yet. Daemon has not run."
fi

Monthly cost breakdown:

jq -s 'group_by(.ts[:7]) | .[] | {month: .[0].ts[:7], cost: ([.[].cost] | add | . * 100 | round / 100), iters: length}' ~/.claude/audit/pr-daemon-usage.jsonl

config

Read and display current config:

cat ~/.claude/kc-plugins-config/pr-flow/daemon.yaml

Full YAML schema with defaults:

plugin_dir: ""            # absolute path to kc-pr-flow plugin (required for wrapper)
poll_interval: 300        # seconds between iterations (default: 5 min)
model: sonnet             # claude -p model (subagents inherit)
max_turns: 30             # pipe-mode safety valve
ci_gate_context: ci-gate  # commit status context ("none" to skip check)
commit_scope: review      # → fix(review): <description>
slack_webhook: ""         # Slack incoming webhook URL (empty = disabled)
gate_script: ""           # custom pre-flight gate script path (exit 0 = go, 1 = skip)

Environment variable overrides (take precedence over YAML):

Env Var	Overrides	Example
POLL_INTERVAL	poll_interval	POLL_INTERVAL=600 (10 min)
PR_DAEMON_SLACK_WEBHOOK	slack_webhook	Slack incoming webhook URL
PR_DAEMON_GATE	gate_script	Path to custom gate script

To modify: edit ~/.claude/kc-plugins-config/pr-flow/daemon.yaml directly. Changes take effect on next iteration (no restart needed — script re-reads config each loop).

First-time setup (if config directory doesn't exist):

mkdir -p ~/.claude/kc-plugins-config/pr-flow
cat > ~/.claude/kc-plugins-config/pr-flow/daemon.yaml << 'EOF'
poll_interval: 300
model: sonnet
max_turns: 30
ci_gate_context: ci-gate
commit_scope: review
slack_webhook: ""
gate_script: ""
EOF

Troubleshooting

The daemon runs preflight checks on startup. Common errors:

Error	Cause	Fix
ERROR: claude CLI not found in PATH	Non-interactive shell PATH missing claude	Add full path: export PATH="$HOME/.claude/bin:$PATH" in script or mprocs env
ERROR: gh CLI not found in PATH	Same PATH issue for gh	which gh in interactive shell → add that directory to daemon PATH
ERROR: Prompt file not found	Plugin directory moved or broken symlink	Re-check --plugin-dir path or reinstall plugin
Daemon exits immediately	set -euo pipefail + unhandled error	Check stderr output; common: yq not installed (non-fatal, falls back to defaults)
⏭️ No open non-draft PRs every iteration	No actionable PRs or wrong repo	Verify cd <project-root> before starting; check gh pr list in that directory
claude -p exited with code 1	API error, rate limit, or max-turns exceeded	Check Claude API status; reduce max_turns if context overflows
Slack notification not arriving	Webhook URL misconfigured	Test: curl -s -X POST "$WEBHOOK" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"text":"test"}'

Daemon always set (not configurable): PR_DAEMON_MODE=1 (bypasses SessionStart superpowers hook) and PR_DAEMON_AUDIT=1 (enables Bash command audit logging via PostToolUse hook).

Prerequisites

• claude CLI in PATH
• gh CLI authenticated
• yq for YAML parsing (optional — falls back to defaults without it)
• terminal-notifier for click-to-open macOS notifications (optional — falls back to osascript)
• jq for JSON processing

Architecture

mprocs / terminal
└── pr-review-daemon.sh (shell while-loop)
    ├── Pre-flight gate (gh pr list + ci-gate check)
    └── claude -p (fresh Sonnet session per iteration)
        ├── Classify PRs (SKIP / STUCK / REVIEW / FIX)
        ├── REVIEW → Skill("kc-pr-flow:kc-pr-review")
        └── FIX → Skill("kc-pr-flow:kc-pr-review-resolve")

Each iteration is stateless. GitHub API is the single source of truth.
