Add drive-pr and merge-and-release Skills - #923
Conversation
Packages the recurring feature-to-develop-to-main drive, and the merge-plus-release step (with a hub-only Skills refresh), as two new fleet Skills so the maintainer can invoke them by name instead of re-stating the review-loop finding-disposition policy and the merge sequencing each time.

🟡 Changes recommended
The canonical merge-and-release Skill text has an internal contract ambiguity about whether the hub Skills refresh is optional vs implied when dispatching a release.
Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.
Pull request overview
Adds two new fleet Skills that formalize the “drive a PR to develop (and optionally to a mergeable promotion PR)” flow and the “merge promotion PR (and optionally dispatch release, with hub Skills refresh)” flow, and wires them into the generated fleet-skills plugin distribution.
Changes:
- Add new
drive-prandmerge-and-releaseSkill definitions under.agents/skills/and their generated copies under.github/skills/and.claude-plugin/fleet-skills/skills/. - Register the new Skills in the Claude plugin manifest and update the plugin source digest.
- Document the new Skills’ intent in
AGENTS.md.

Copilot review on PR #923 caught a contract inconsistency: the description said the hub refreshes installed Skills before every release dispatch, but 'How Far to Go' offered it as a separate, optional third scope only when the request was ambiguous. Make the hub refresh unconditional whenever the release scope is chosen, dropping the third option entirely.

🔵 Needs a closer look
The new Skills contain a couple of procedure instructions that are currently ambiguous/incorrect (tool naming and required CLI arguments) and should be made runnable and tool-agnostic.

.agents/skills/drive-pr/SKILL.md:84
AskUserQuestionappears to be an undefined / repo-specific tool name (no other references in this repo). This makes the instruction ambiguous for agents running under different runtimes; prefer a tool-agnostic instruction to ask the maintainer and get an explicit answer in the same turn.
- Real, fixable, but a value call rather than a scope boundary, or the agent genuinely does not
know which of the above applies, so ask the maintainer. Use AskUserQuestion and get an explicit
answer in the same turn, a plan to ask later is resolution by silence (outcome 3).
.agents/skills/merge-and-release/SKILL.md:53
scripts/pr_review.pyrequires both the PR number positional argument and--repo(see scripts/pr_review.py argument parsing). As written, this step would fail with a usage error; include the required placeholders so the procedure is runnable.
2. Run `scripts/pr_review.py status` on it and confirm the pr-review-conduct Merge Gate. Stop and
report exactly what is missing rather than merging on a partial gate.

AskUserQuestion is a Claude Code specific tool name, this file is also read directly by Codex and opencode per skill-lifecycle, so drive-pr now says to ask the maintainer through whatever the runtime's own interactive-question mechanism is. The pr_review.py status invocation in merge-and-release was missing its required positional PR number and --repo argument.
qodo flagged <n> and <owner>/<repo>: a shell interprets < and > as redirection, so those placeholders are not paste-safe. Switch to this repo's established convention, [number] and owner/repo, per OPERATIONS.md and the sibling standup-a-repo/resync-a-repo skills.

merge-and-release lacks an explicit step to fast-forward the local checkout to the newly merged main before running skills_install.py, which can cause a “Skills refresh” to install stale pre-merge content.

Copilot's round-4 review caught that skills_install.py stamps and installs from whatever the checkout's HEAD already is, so step 5 needed an explicit fetch and checkout of main before installing, not just a claim the checkout was 'now fetched past the merge'. Without it the step could silently refresh Skills from stale pre-merge content.

Copilot's round-5 review caught two real issues: recommending 'merge and release' as the default for every repo pushes an operational repo toward an unintended publish, since operational-vs-release-workflow treats a release there as a separate, deliberate dispatch, not an automatic follow-on to a promotion. And step 5's alternate 'git merge --ff-only origin/main' phrasing was ambiguous about which branch it ran from, so it is dropped in favor of always checking out main directly.

The new merge-and-release skill contains procedural instructions that will fail in common downstream/non-Linux environments (missing hub-checkout requirement for scripts/pr_review.py and use of GNU timeout without cross-platform guidance).

CodeRabbit caught two more real gaps: step 2's pr_review.py invocation didn't say it needs a hub checkout the way pr-review-conduct does, and step 7's GNU timeout is not available by default on macOS or native Windows, so it now says to use the host's own equivalent bounded-wait mechanism there instead.

merge-and-release currently treats all non-none releaseTrigger values as manual dispatch and should explicitly handle publish-on-merge (and align the “dispatched run” wording) to avoid incorrect or duplicate release behavior.
Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

…conditional cleanup Three real findings from round 11: step 6 treated every non-none releaseTrigger as a manual dispatch, but a publish-on-merge repo already publishes from the merge itself and a second dispatch would be redundant, now branches on the three non-none shapes explicitly. Step 7's newest-run assumption could be fooled by a concurrent run of a different event on the same branch, now filters to workflow_dispatch events and requires exactly one candidate matching the dispatch time before polling. Step 8's cleanup could be skipped by an earlier stop path in steps 5 through 7, now runs unconditionally since the merge already landed by then.

🟡 Changes recommended
The merge-and-release procedure has an internal gap for publish-on-merge (it says to watch the merge-triggered release but doesn’t provide a correct correlation/watch step for that path).
Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

…ng it Copilot caught that step 6's promise to watch a publish-on-merge repo's merge-triggered run was never actually fulfilled, the procedure skipped straight to cleanup and step 7 only correlated workflow_dispatch events. Step 6 now routes publish-on-merge through step 7 instead of around it, and step 7 correlates by --event push and the step 3 merge time for that case, by --event workflow_dispatch and the dispatch time otherwise.

🟢 Approval recommended
The new Skills are internally consistent, reference existing repository workflows/scripts that are present in-tree, and the generated distributions/manifests are updated accordingly.

#933) Fixes a real gap from driving PR #923 through its own review loop: the feature branch that PR's own task landed on (task/drive-pr-merge-release-skills) was left dangling on origin after merge, because merge-and-release's 'never --delete-branch' rule (correct for a promotion PR, whose head is develop) got applied to what was actually an ordinary feature-branch merge. - drive-pr's feature -> develop merge never passes --delete-branch (that flag needs to switch the current worktree to the base branch to delete the feature branch, which fails when develop is already checked out elsewhere, the ordinary case in this layout). It merges with a plain `gh pr merge --squash`, then deletes the remote branch explicitly, `git push origin --delete <branch>`, as part of cleanup from the base clone. - merge-and-release's procedure is reordered to the requested sequence: merge, dispatch and correlate the release run, refresh hub Skills, then cleanup last. - merge-and-release's cleanup step now has two required parts: the promotion PR's own worktree (never deletes develop), and a defensive sweep for any already-merged feature-branch worktree or branch drive-pr's own cleanup should have removed but might not have (an interrupted loop, a fix landed by hand, a maintainer merge in the UI), verified via GitHub's own PR state (mergedAt, head SHA) rather than git merge-base --is-ancestor, which never proves a squash merge finished, then removed with git branch -D under the confirmed post-squash exception. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Release Process** - Improved workflow tracking by matching releases to the correct commit and reporting missing, ambiguous, failed, or timed-out runs. - Repositories without a configured release trigger now skip unnecessary release processing. - Skills and release-related updates refresh consistently after release handling. - **Cleanup** - Improved post-merge cleanup for feature worktrees and branches while protecting important shared branches. - **Documentation** - Clarified merge and release procedures, including safer branch handling, explicit merge steps, and reliable cleanup. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
Packages the recurring feature-to-develop-to-main drive, and the merge-plus-release step (with a hub-only Skills refresh), as two new fleet Skills.
drive-pr: drives a PR's review loop from feature into develop and, when asked, on to a mergeable develop -> main promotion PR, applying pr-review-conduct's finding disposition throughout, looping a promotion-PR finding back through its own feature -> develop fix cycle. Asks once how far to drive when the request does not say.merge-and-release: merges a ready promotion PR and, when asked, dispatches the release, refreshing this machine's installed Skills first when the repo is this hub. Asks once how far to go when the request does not say.Both skills point to pr-review-conduct, operational-vs-release-workflow, repo-worktree, and skill-lifecycle for their mechanics rather than restating them.
