Pre-Submit PR Check
Comprehensive validation before submitting a pull request. Run this before creating or updating a PR.
Instructions
-
Check branch freshness (BLOCKING):
- Run
git fetch origin main to get latest main
- Run
git rev-list --count HEAD..origin/main to check commits behind
- If > 0 commits behind, merge main before proceeding:
git merge origin/main
- This prevents "branch out of date" issues on GitHub
-
Run all automated hooks:
bash .claude/hooks/lint.sh - format check (includes ruff format + ruff check)
bash .claude/hooks/test.sh - run tests
bash .claude/hooks/check-debug.sh - find debug code
-
Run alignment review:
- Read
.claude/docs/PRINCIPLES.md and .claude/docs/INVARIANTS.md
- Compare changes against principles and invariants
- Identify Tier 1 (mechanical) and Tier 2 (alignment) issues
-
RFC check:
- If changes touch
src/openenv/core/, flag for RFC consideration
- If any public API signatures change, RFC required
- Check against existing RFCs in
rfcs/ for conflicts
-
Documentation freshness check:
- Review
.claude/docs/REPO_WALKTHROUGH.md against the current repo structure
- If the PR adds new directories, moves files, or changes structure significantly:
- Update REPO_WALKTHROUGH.md to reflect the changes
- Include these updates in the PR
- Check triggers: new directories in
src/, envs/, .claude/, or rfcs/
- Check if any public API signatures changed (function/class renames, new params):
- Search for references in docs/, examples/, README.md, other .py docstrings
- If stale references found, recommend running
/update-docs before PR
-
Summarize PR readiness:
- List all blocking issues
- List all discussion points for reviewers
- Provide overall verdict
-
After push/PR creation, run the post-push check:
bash .claude/hooks/post-push-pr.sh
- Verifies: PR is open, no merge conflicts, branch freshness,
PR description quality, CI check status
Output Format
## Pre-Submit PR Report
### Branch Freshness
| Check | Status | Details |
|-------|--------|---------|
| Up to date with main | YES/NO | [X commits behind, merged if needed] |
### Automated Checks
| Check | Status | Details |
|-------|--------|---------|
| Lint | PASS/FAIL | [summary] |
| Tests | PASS/FAIL | [X passed, Y failed] |
| Debug code | CLEAN/FOUND | [details] |
### Alignment Review
#### Tier 1: Fixes Required (blocking)
- [ ] path/file.py:123 - [issue description]
#### Tier 2: Discussion Points (flag for reviewers)
[ALIGNMENT FLAGS or "None identified"]
### Invariant Check
[List any invariants at risk, or "All invariants maintained"]
### RFC Status
[NOT REQUIRED / RECOMMENDED / REQUIRED: reason]
### Documentation Freshness
[UP TO DATE / UPDATED: list of changes made to REPO_WALKTHROUGH.md]
[STALE DOCS: run /update-docs — list of stale references found]
### Verdict: READY FOR PR / ISSUES TO ADDRESS
### Summary for PR Description
[2-3 sentences summarizing changes for the PR description]
Blocking Issues
The following issues block PR submission:
- Branch out of date with main (must merge first)
- Lint failures
- Test failures
- Debugger statements (breakpoint, pdb)
- Invariant violations
- RFC required but not written
Non-Blocking (Flag for Reviewers)
These should be noted in PR but don't block:
- Alignment discussion points (Tier 2)
- RFC recommended (optional)
- TODOs in code
- Print statements (unless in core code)
