description	Evennia project management commands — list PRs, issues, and more.

/ev — Evennia Project Skill

Route based on the first argument:

• prs → List PRs awaiting maintainer review
• prs all → List all open PRs (including changes-requested)
• issues → List issues needing triage
• issues all → List all actionable open issues
• clog #NNN → Add changelog entry for a PR or issue
• clog <text> → Add freeform changelog entry
• clog validate → Validate CHANGELOG.md structure

If no argument or unrecognized subcommand, show available subcommands.

Requires: gh CLI. If not installed, ask the developer to install it (https://cli.github.com/) — do not attempt workarounds.

prs

Usage: /ev prs [all]

List open PRs on evennia/evennia that need maintainer attention.

• /ev prs — Only PRs awaiting review (excludes drafts, approved, and changes-requested PRs since those are waiting on the author). Sorted oldest-first with overlap annotations showing which PRs touch the same source files.
• /ev prs all — All open non-draft PRs that aren't yet approved, including changes-requested. Same ordering and overlap detection.

Steps

1. Run the helper script from the skill directory, passing through any extra argument (all or empty):

   bash <skill_dir>/ev-prs.sh [all]
   

   where <skill_dir> is the directory containing this SKILL.md file.
2. Present the output directly to the user — it is already formatted as markdown with clickable URLs.

---

issues

Usage: /ev issues [all]

List open issues on evennia/evennia that need maintainer attention. Sorted oldest-first.

• /ev issues — Only issues labelled needs-triage (not yet reviewed).
• /ev issues all — All open issues except those waiting on someone else (excludes more info needed, on hold, devel-implemented).

Steps

1. Run the helper script from the skill directory, passing through any extra argument (all or empty):

   bash <skill_dir>/ev-issues.sh [all]
   

   where <skill_dir> is the directory containing this SKILL.md file.
2. Present the output directly to the user — it is already formatted as markdown with clickable URLs.

clog

Usage: /ev clog #NNN or /ev clog <freeform text>

Add a changelog entry to CHANGELOG.md.

Routing

• If the argument is a number (with or without #), treat it as a PR/issue number and follow the linked entry steps.
• Otherwise, treat the entire argument string as freeform text and follow the freeform entry steps.

clog-linked

For PR/issue numbers.

1. Run the helper script to fetch metadata and generate the entry:

   bash <skill_dir>/ev-clog.sh <number>
   

   The script outputs two lines:
   • Line 1: the entry, e.g. [Fix][pull3869]: Handle evennia -l & ... (jaborsh)
   • Line 2: the link ref, e.g. [pull3869]: https://github.com/...
2. Show the generated entry to the user for approval. They may want to adjust the wording or category.
3. Read CHANGELOG.md and insert:
   • The entry line into the ## Main branch section. Entries are ordered by category: Feat entries go at the top of the section, then Fix, then Doc/Docs. Insert the new entry after the last entry of the same category (or before the first entry of the next category if none exist yet). Always before the blank line that precedes the link references.
   • The link reference into the link-reference block at the bottom of the ## Main branch section (before the next ## heading).
4. Show the user the final diff for confirmation.

clog-freeform

For entries not tied to a specific PR or issue (local fixes, minor tweaks, etc.). These produce unlinked entries with no link-reference line.

1. Parse the freeform text into a changelog entry. The text may already be a well-formed entry or just a rough description. Produce a line matching the format: - <Cat>: <Description> (<Author>) where:
   • Cat — guess from the text: Feat, Fix, Doc, or Security. Default to Fix if unclear.
   • Description — clean up the text: capitalize the first letter, trim trailing periods, keep it concise (one line preferred, wrap with two-space indent if truly needed).
   • Author — use the git user name (git config user.name). If the text already contains a parenthesised author, keep it.
2. Show the generated entry to the user for approval.
3. Read CHANGELOG.md and insert the entry line into the ## Main branch section, ordered by category (same rules as linked entries). No link reference is needed.
4. Show the user the final diff for confirmation.

clog-validate

Usage: /ev clog validate

Validate CHANGELOG.md structure. Checks each section for:

• Mismatched URLs — [pull100] must point to /pull/100, not a different number or /issues/...
• Missing link refs — entry references [pull100] but no [pull100]: ... defined
• Orphan link refs — [pull100]: ... defined but no entry uses [pull100]
• Duplicate link refs — same [pull100]: ... defined more than once

Steps

1. Run the validator:

   python3 <skill_dir>/clog_validate.py CHANGELOG.md
   

2. Present the output directly to the user. If errors are found, offer to fix them.
