description

Use this skill when working with validate-pr-review-app, a self-hosted GitHub App that validates Pull Request reviews to ensure PRs cannot be merged without proper approvals. Use this skill when the user wants to: - Update the configuration of validate-pr-review-app (e.g. make an app trusted, add untrusted_machine_users, change approval requirements) - Understand why a PR requires two approvals or how to avoid the two-approval requirement - Troubleshoot PR merge failures related to approval validation Even if the user doesn't mention "validate-pr-review-app" by name — if they ask about PR approval requirements, trusted apps, or merge validation, this skill applies.

Read the reference file that matches the task:

• How It Works — to understand the overall mechanism.
• Validation Rules — what the app validates and when a PR passes or fails.
• Why are 2 approvals required for a pull request? — to explain why a PR needs two approvals.
• How To Avoid 2 Approvals — to reduce a PR's approval requirement.
• Config — to change configuration (trusted_apps, untrusted_machine_users, approval/unsigned-commit rules).
• Customize footer — to customize the footer shown on the Checks tab.
• Environment Variables — to configure how the app runs.
• Secrets — to set up the app's secrets.
• Merge Queue Support — when the repository uses a merge queue.
