FRB Issue to Green PR
Use this skill as the top-level workflow when the user asks you to implement an issue, fix a bug, add a feature, or otherwise "handle it end to end" in flutter_rust_bridge, especially when they ask for an automatic PR or CI monitoring.
This skill orchestrates the narrower FRB skills. Do not duplicate their detailed instructions in memory; read them when their phase begins.
Required Subskills
Always read these first:
- The applicable user-level FRB workflow or environment skill, if one exists. For example, Tom's environment may provide
tom-frb-env; other users may have different local rules.
frb-develop-feature for the reproduce -> fix -> final regression workflow.
Read these when entering the matching phase:
frb-code-generation before running generation or changing Rust APIs, codegen, or example APIs.frb-test before running local tests.frb-lint before lint or format checks.frb-prepare-pr before pushing or opening the PR.frb-pr-review before treating a non-trivial PR as ready.frb-fix-ci before diagnosing any CI failure.frb-manual-test before writing a manual regression test report under tools/manual_tests/.frb-ci-filter before creating an intentional red CI reproduction PR or using filtered CI.gh-actions-live-logs before reading GitHub Actions logs.frb-debugging when generated code is surprising or codegen behavior is unclear.
Workflow
1. Start a 5 minute completion loop
- Create or update a thread heartbeat automation at a 5 minute cadence before doing substantial work.
- The heartbeat must say to continue this skill until all stop conditions are met; update it with the PR URL, branch, and repository once they are known.
2. Understand the GitHub issue or requested change
- Fetch the issue body and comments if the user gave an issue link or number.
- Identify the smallest observable failing behavior or missing capability.
- Check
git status --short and do not disturb unrelated user or multi-agent changes.
3. Reproduce the issue in an independent reproduction PR
- Read and follow the reproduction parts of
frb-develop-feature.
- For bug fixes, do this before changing fix code or opening the fix PR.
- Create an independent reproduction PR whose only purpose is to prove the bad behavior. The branch name, PR title, and PR body must say clearly that it is an intentional reproduction PR, not a real fix PR.
- For intentional red CI reproduction PRs, use the title
Reproduce ISSUE_SUMMARY with intentional red CI.
- For manual-test reproduction PRs, use the title
Add manual reproduction for ISSUE_SUMMARY.
- If CI can reproduce the bad behavior, read
frb-ci-filter and make the reproduction PR an intentional red CI PR: unchanged fix code, minimal reproducer or workflow adjustment, mandatory focused ci_filter run, and a failure whose error matches the user's report.
- If CI cannot realistically reproduce the bad behavior, read
frb-manual-test and make the independent reproduction PR add or update tools/manual_tests/NAME.md with a normal manual test procedure and mechanical execution steps an agent or human can run.
- Do not proceed to the fix PR until the reproduction PR exists and has either a matching red CI run or a precise manual test report.
- Save the reproduction PR URL, red CI run URL when applicable, job name or manual-test path, and matching error text for the fix PR reproduction report.
4. Fix the issue
- Read and follow the fix, iteration, local verification, regression coverage, and final placement parts of
frb-develop-feature.
- Implement the smallest change that fixes the reproduced behavior.
- Add final regression coverage with the fixed behavior as the expected result.
- Make atomic commits as soon as each completed logical unit is written; do not wait until the end of the task.
- Stage only files intentionally changed for this task.
- Always create a new commit unless the user explicitly asks to amend.
- Before considering the change ready, explicitly pass the
frb-develop-feature Final Placement Gate: final regression coverage belongs in frb_example/pure_dart with generated pure_dart_pde coverage, not only in frb_example/dart_minimal.
- Keep generated-file edits produced by the appropriate generator, not by hand.
5. Prepare and open the PR
- Follow
frb-prepare-pr.
- Re-check that no final regression or feature coverage remains only in
frb_example/dart_minimal. If it does, stop PR preparation and migrate it to frb_example/pure_dart first.
- Push with upstream tracking.
- Before drafting a PR title, inspect the user's recent PR titles and mimic the repo style.
- Create the PR according to the active PR workflow and repository/user PR body rules.
- If the work comes from a GitHub issue, ensure the PR body includes the appropriate closing keyword such as
Close #1234, unless the active PR workflow explicitly requires an empty body.
6. Run the review gate
- Follow
frb-pr-review for the full PR review gate, including correctness review and test-weakening review.
7. Monitor CI until terminal
- After the PR is opened or updated, do not leave the PR in an unknown queued or in-progress state.
- On each wake-up, inspect the latest PR checks, not stale runs.
- For bug-fix PRs with an intentional red CI reproduction PR, explicitly find the same job family or CI path that failed in the reproduction branch and verify that it is now green on the fix PR.
- For bug-fix PRs with a manual-test report PR, state whether the manual regression was re-run, who or what ran it, and whether the observed behavior now matches the fixed expectation.
- If CI fails, read
frb-fix-ci and gh-actions-live-logs, diagnose the latest relevant failure, fix it, commit, push, and continue monitoring.
- If CI appears flaky, rerun only failed jobs when appropriate, then keep monitoring.
8. Stop only when ready
- The PR checks are green or all remaining non-green checks are clearly unrelated and explained.
- The branch is pushed, commits are present on the PR, and the final status is reported to the user with the PR URL.
Automation Rules
- Prefer a heartbeat attached to the current thread for short follow-up intervals such as every 5 minutes.
- The heartbeat prompt must be self-contained: include the PR URL/number, branch, repository, and the requirement to inspect CI and review state, fix issues, commit, push, and continue until ready.
- Do not create a duplicate heartbeat if one already exists for the same PR; update the existing automation instead.
- Cancel or leave inactive any PR-specific heartbeat once the stop conditions are met.
Failure Handling
- If blocked by permissions, missing credentials, a required external reviewer delay, or unavailable infrastructure, explain the concrete blocker and keep the PR state explicit.
- If a CI run is queued for a long time, keep the heartbeat active rather than stopping.
- If new user instructions arrive, let the newest instruction steer the workflow while preserving already-completed work.
