# Gh PR Checks Plan Fix

## Overview

Use gh to inspect PRs for:

- Failing CI checks (GitHub Actions)
- Merge conflicts
- Update Branch requirements (base branch advanced)
- Reviewer comments (review summaries, inline comments, issue comments)
- Change Requests from reviewers
- Unresolved review threads

Then propose a fix plan, implement after explicit approval, **reply to every reviewer comment** (with action taken or reason for not addressing), resolve all threads, and notify reviewers.

- Depends on the `plan` skill for drafting and approving the fix plan.

Prereq: ensure `gh` is authenticated (for example, run `gh auth login` once), then run `gh auth status` with escalated permissions (include workflow/repo scopes) so `gh` commands succeed.

## Comment Response Policy

> **No reviewer comment may be left unanswered.**

- Every unresolved review thread MUST receive a reply before being resolved.
- If the feedback was addressed: reply with what was done (e.g., "Fixed: refactored as suggested.").
- If the feedback was intentionally not addressed: reply with the reason (e.g., "Not addressed: this is intentional because the API contract requires this format.").
- The `--reply-and-resolve` argument enforces this by requiring a reply entry for every unresolved thread and rejecting empty bodies.

## Diagnosis Report Anti-Patterns

### Prohibited Language

| Prohibited | Required Alternative |
|---|---|
| "We should look into..." | "Edit `path/file.ts:42` to..." |
| "There seem to be some issues" | "3 blocking items detected" |
| "This might be causing..." | "Root cause: `<error from log>`" |
| "Consider fixing..." / "It looks like..." | "Action: Fix `<what>` in `<where>`" |
| "Various CI checks are failing" | "2 CI checks failing: `build`, `lint`" |
| "Some reviewers have concerns" | "@reviewer1 requested: `<quote>`" |
| "I'll try to fix this" | "Action: \<specific fix\>" |

### Structural Prohibitions

- Prose paragraphs for reporting — use B1/I1 item format exclusively.
- Omitting the Evidence field in any BLOCKING item.
- Combining multiple independent problems into a single item.
- Omitting file paths or line numbers when the script output contains them.

## Issue/PR Comment Formatting (must follow)

- Final comment text must not contain escaped newline literals such as `\n`.
- Use real line breaks in comment bodies. Do not rely on escaped sequences for formatting.
- Before posting (`--add-comment` or manual `gh issue/pr comment`), verify the final body does not accidentally include escaped control sequences (`\n`, `\t`).
- If a raw escape sequence must be shown for explanation, include it only inside a fenced code block and clarify it is intentional.

## Issue Progress Comment Template (required for issue-based work)

When work is tracked in GitHub Issues, progress updates must use this template:

```markdown
Progress
- ...

Done
- ...

Next
- ...
```

- Post updates at least when starting work, after meaningful progress, and when blocked/unblocked.
- In `Next`, explicitly state blockers or the immediate next action.

## Inputs

- `repo`: path inside the repo (default `.`)
- `pr`: PR number or URL (optional; defaults to current branch PR)
- `mode`: inspection mode (`checks`, `conflicts`, `reviews`, `all`)
- `required-only`: limit CI checks to required checks only (uses `gh pr checks --required`)
- `gh` authentication for the repo host

## Quick start

```bash
# Inspect all (CI, conflicts, reviews) - default mode
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/github/skills/gh-fix-pr/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "<number>"

# CI checks only
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/github/skills/gh-fix-pr/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "<number>" --mode checks

# Conflicts only
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/github/skills/gh-fix-pr/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "<number>" --mode conflicts

# Reviews only (Change Requests + Unresolved Threads)
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/github/skills/gh-fix-pr/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "<number>" --mode reviews

# JSON output
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/github/skills/gh-fix-pr/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "<number>" --json

# Required checks only (if gh supports --required)
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/github/skills/gh-fix-pr/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "<number>" --mode checks --required-only

# Reply to all unresolved threads and resolve them
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/github/skills/gh-fix-pr/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "<number>" --reply-and-resolve '[
  {"threadId":"PRRT_xxx123","body":"Fixed: refactored the method as suggested."},
  {"threadId":"PRRT_xxx456","body":"Not addressed: this is intentional because the API requires this format."}
]'

# Add a comment to notify reviewers
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/github/skills/gh-fix-pr/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "<number>" --add-comment "Fixed all issues. Please re-review."
```

## Workflow

1. **Verify gh authentication.**
   - Run `gh auth status` in the repo with escalated scopes (workflow/repo).
   - If unauthenticated, ask the user to log in before proceeding.

2. **Resolve the PR.**
   - Prefer the current branch PR: `gh pr view --json number,url`.
   - If the user provides a PR number or URL, use that directly.

3. **Inspect based on mode:**

   **Conflicts Mode (`--mode conflicts`):**
   - Check `mergeable` and `mergeStateStatus` fields.
   - If `CONFLICTING` or `DIRTY`, report conflict details.
   - If `BEHIND`, report that the base branch advanced and an Update Branch is required.
   - Suggest resolution steps: fetch base branch, merge/rebase, resolve conflicts.

   **Reviews Mode (`--mode reviews`):**
   - Fetch reviews with `CHANGES_REQUESTED` state.
   - Fetch unresolved review threads using GraphQL.
   - Fetch ALL reviewer comments (review summaries, inline review comments, issue comments) without truncation.
   - Display reviewer, comment body (full text), file path, and line number.
   - Decide if reviewer feedback requires action (any change request, unresolved thread, or reviewer comment).

   **Checks Mode (`--mode checks`):**
   - Run bundled script to inspect failing CI checks.
   - Add `--required-only` to limit output to required checks when supported.
   - Fetch GitHub Actions logs and extract failure snippets.
   - For external checks (Buildkite, etc.), report URL only.

   **All Mode (`--mode all`):**
   - Run all inspections above.

4. **Produce Diagnosis Report (mandatory format).**

   Output MUST use this exact structure:

   ```text
   ## Diagnosis Report: PR #<number>

   **Merge Verdict: BLOCKED | CLEAR**
   Blocking items: <N>

   ---

   ### BLOCKING

   #### B1. [CATEGORY] <1-line title>
   - **What:** Factual statement (no speculation)
   - **Where:** file_path:line_number / check name / branch ref
   - **Evidence:** Verbatim quote from script output
   - **Action:** Specific fix (file path, command, or code change — at least one required)
   - **Auto-fix:** Yes | No (needs confirmation)

   #### B2. [CATEGORY] <1-line title>
   ...

   ---

   ### INFORMATIONAL
   #### I1. [CATEGORY] <1-line title>
   - **What / Note**

   ---

   **Summary:** <N> blocking items to fix, <M> informational items noted.
   ```

   **Classification rules:**

   - **BLOCKING:** CONFLICTING/DIRTY merge state, BEHIND, CI failure/cancelled/timed\_out/action\_required, CHANGES\_REQUESTED, unresolved review threads
   - **INFORMATIONAL:** Comments without change requests, pending CI, outdated review threads

   **Category labels:** `CONFLICT`, `BRANCH-BEHIND`, `CI-FAILURE`, `CHANGE-REQUEST`, `UNRESOLVED-THREAD`, `REVIEW-COMMENT`

   **Auto-fix judgment:**

   - **Auto-fix: Yes** — CI-FAILURE code fixes, reviewer instructions that the LLM can address with high confidence
   - **Auto-fix: No (needs confirmation)** — CONFLICT resolution (merge/rebase), low-confidence reviewer instructions, changes requiring design decisions
