pr-lifecycle

pr-lifecycle is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from onsager-ai/dev-skills. It costs 206 tokens per session (3,025 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for managing a pull request after code has been pushed to GitHub. It covers linking the pull request to its specification issue, handling checks and review comments, resolving conflicts, and updating plans after a merge.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage CI failures, respond to review comments, recover from merge conflicts, track related work, and complete the steps after a pull request is merged.
Why use it?
It keeps post-push work aligned with the repository’s development process and helps diagnose failures without overlooking required issue links or review steps.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pr-lifecycle scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

pr-lifecycle

Everything that happens after git push on a PR: spec-issue linking, CI triage, review-comment discipline, webhook subscription + the post-push sweep, and the manual ticking of Plan items / umbrella trackers on merge.

This is the repo-agnostic half. The consumer repo's CLAUDE.md / <repo>-dev-process overlays its CI-failure patterns, its scope (which repos this operates on), and any repo-local automation (a pr-spec-sync workflow, audit scripts) or the lack of it.

Tool discipline

  • No gh CLI, no hub, no direct GitHub API. Always use mcp__github__*.
  • Scope to the repo you're working on (and any sibling the repo's CLAUDE.md sanctions). Don't query unrelated repos.
  • Don't open PRs unless the user explicitly asks. Creating one is a one-way door in this workflow.

Spec-issue linking (mandatory)

Every PR must either:

  1. Link to a spec issue in its body via Closes #N / Fixes #N / Resolves #N (slice complete) or Part of #N / Refs #N (scaffolding), OR
  2. Carry the trivial label (typo, doc-only, one-line obvious fix).

If neither, the PR is out of process. Comment asking the author to add a spec link — creating one via issue-spec if none exists — or apply the trivial label.

Which keyword to use

GitHub closes issues on merge when the PR body contains one of: close, closes, closed, fix, fixes, fixed, resolve, resolves, resolved — followed by #N. Pick the keyword based on what this PR actually delivers:

PR delivers Use
The acceptance test / vertical slice the spec asks for Closes #N
A bug fix for a specific defect Fixes #N
Scaffolding / one phase of a multi-phase spec Part of #N
Related work that shouldn't close the spec Refs #N

Part of / Refs are not auto-close keywords — they just cross-link in the UI. Use them for scaffolding so the spec stays open for the real slice. Edit the PR body via mcp__github__update_pull_request (don't open a new PR just to fix the link); put the linking line at the top of the body.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
