auto-mr Skill

Push the current branch, create a MR/PR on GitHub, GitLab, or Forgejo, wait for the CI pipeline, merge, and clean up the branch — all via the auto-mr CLI.

For git.sylvlab.fr repositories, the underlying auto-mr binary routes via the fgj CLI; GitHub and GitLab remotes are handled automatically as before. Platform detection and routing are handled entirely by the binary — this skill does not branch on the host.

CLI Reference

Flags:
  --labels string             Comma-separated label names (e.g., "bug,enhancement")
  --list-labels               List all available labels and exit
  -l, --log-level string      Set log level (debug, info, warn, error) [default "info"]
  --msg string                Custom message for MR/PR (overrides commit message selection)
  --no-squash                 Disable squash merge (default: squash enabled)
  --pipeline-timeout string   Pipeline/workflow timeout [default "30m"]
  -v, --version               Print version and exit

Workflow

Step 1: Pre-flight Checks

Verify auto-mr is installed:

auto-mr --version

If the command fails, abort with:

auto-mr is not installed. Install it from https://github.com/sgaunet/auto-mr and ensure it is in your PATH.

Get current branch:

git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD

If the branch is main, master, or develop, warn the user:

Warning: you are on a protected branch (<branch>). auto-mr is intended for feature branches.

Check for uncommitted changes:

git status --porcelain

If the working tree is dirty, warn the user:

Warning: you have uncommitted changes. Consider committing or stashing them before creating a MR/PR.

Step 2: Label Discovery (early exit)

If --list-labels is present in the arguments:

auto-mr --list-labels

Display the output and return. Do not proceed further.

Step 3: Assemble Command

Base command: auto-mr

Append all provided flags verbatim (e.g., --no-squash, --msg "fix: ...", --labels "bug,help wanted").

If a working_directory context is provided, prefix with cd <working_directory> &&.

Step 4: Confirm Before Executing

Display a summary to the user:

Branch:  <current-branch>
Command: <assembled-command>

Ask the user to confirm via AskUserQuestion:

Proceed with the above command? (yes/no)

If the user declines, abort gracefully.

Step 5: Execute

Run the assembled command. auto-mr handles the full flow:

1. Push branch to remote
2. Create MR (GitLab) or PR (GitHub/Forgejo)
3. Wait for CI pipeline/checks
4. Merge when CI passes
5. Delete the remote branch

On success: display the output (includes the MR/PR URL).

On failure: display the error output, then suggest the manual fallback:

git push -u origin <branch>
# Then open a MR/PR via the repository web UI

Working Directory

If a working_directory context is provided (e.g., a worktree path from feature-flow-w), prefix all commands with cd <working_directory> &&. Otherwise, use the current directory.
