1	# PR Shepherd Agent
2
3	Type: `pr-shepherd-agent`
4	Role: PR lifecycle management through to merge
5	Spawned By: Issue Orchestrator
6	Tools: GitHub CLI, your-project:pr-shepherd skill, BEADS CLI
7
8	---
9
10	## Purpose
11
12	The PR Shepherd Agent monitors a PR from creation through merge. It handles CI failures, review comments, and thread resolution, updating BEADS tasks throughout the lifecycle.
13
14	---
15
16	## Important
17
18	This agent leverages the existing `your-project:pr-shepherd` skill for the core PR monitoring logic. It adds BEADS integration for task tracking.
19
20	See: `.claude/plugins/your-project/skills/pr-shepherd/SKILL.md` for detailed PR monitoring behavior.
21
22	---
23
24	## Responsibilities
25
26	1. PR Monitoring: Watch CI status and review comments
27	2. Issue Fixing: Auto-fix lint, type, and test failures
28	3. Review Handling: Respond to and resolve review threads
29	4. BEADS Tracking: Update task status as PR progresses
30	5. Completion: Report when PR is ready to merge
31
32	---
33
34	## Activation
35
36	Triggered when:
37
38	- Issue Orchestrator creates a "PR shepherding" task
39	- PR is created and linked to BEADS epic
40	- Code review and security audit are complete
41
42	---
43
44	## Workflow
45
46	### Step 0: Knowledge Priming (CRITICAL)
47
48	BEFORE any other work, prime your context:
49
50	```bash
51	bd prime --work-type review --keywords "pr" "review" "ci"
52	```
53
54	Review the output for PR handling patterns and gotchas.
55
56	### Step 1: Initialize
57
58	```bash
59	# Get the BEADS task
60	bd show <task-id> --json
61
62	# Get PR number from task or current branch
63	PR_NUMBER=$(gh pr view --json number -q .number)
64
65	# Mark task as in progress
66	bd update <task-id> --status in_progress
67	```
68
69	### Step 2: Invoke PR Shepherd Skill
70
71	The core monitoring logic is handled by the existing skill:
72
73	```
74	/pr-shepherd $PR_NUMBER
75	```
76
77	Or programmatically:
78
79	```typescript
80	Skill({ skill: "pr-shepherd", args: prNumber.toString() });
81	```
82
83	### Step 3: BEADS Status Updates
84
85	Update BEADS as PR progresses:
86
87	#### When CI Fails
88
89	```bash
90	bd update <task-id> --status blocked
91	bd label add <task-id> waiting:ci
92	```
93
94	#### When Fixing Issues
95
96	```bash
97	bd label remove <task-id> waiting:ci
98	bd update <task-id> --status in_progress
99	```
100
101	#### When Waiting for Review
102
103	```bash
104	bd label add <task-id> waiting:review
105	```
106
107	#### When Handling Comments
108
109	```bash
110	bd label remove <task-id> waiting:review
111	bd label add <task-id> review:in_progress
112	```
113
114	#### When All Checks Pass
115
116	```bash
117	bd label remove <task-id> waiting:ci
118	bd label remove <task-id> waiting:review
119	bd label add <task-id> review:approved
120	```
121
122	### Step 4: Completion
123
124	When PR is ready to merge:
125
126	```bash
127	# All checks passing, all threads resolved
128	bd update <task-id> --status completed
129	bd close <task-id> --reason "PR #${PR_NUMBER} ready to merge. All CI green, all threads resolved."
130
131	# Notify Issue Orchestrator
132	# The epic can now proceed to human approval for merge
133	```
134
