## What it does

The skill targets the pull request attached to the current branch. It resolves merge conflicts, diagnoses failing CI checks and fixes the cause, and works through review feedback from every source. It also avoids duplicating replies that are already waiting on a reviewer.

Bundled helpers run on PowerShell 7. You need Git 2.38 or newer, the GitHub CLI (`gh`) authenticated for the repository, and `pwsh`. Without an authenticated `gh` the skill cannot read threads or checks, so set that up before invoking it.

The PR counts as done when the current HEAD has no conflicts, no failing check, and every unresolved thread either carries a reply with the fix or is awaiting a reviewer. The skill never changes a thread's resolution state — reviewers own that. If PR Agent runs in the repository, the skill waits for a successful run on the exact HEAD and posts nothing to trigger one.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PinguApps/Skills --skill finish-pr -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/finish-pr/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/finish-pr/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PinguApps/Skills --skill finish-pr -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/finish-pr/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PinguApps/Skills --skill finish-pr -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/finish-pr/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install PinguApps/Skills finish-pr
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/finish-pr/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PinguApps/Skills --skill finish-pr -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/PinguApps/Skills --path skills/finish-pr
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/finish-pr/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PinguApps/Skills --skill finish-pr -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/PinguApps/Skills/tree/HEAD/skills/finish-pr/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- clear merge conflicts on the current branch's PR
- find and fix the cause of a failing CI check
- answer reviewer comments without repeating pending replies
- get a green PR Agent run on the current HEAD
- keep each thread's fix in its own focused commit

## Example prompts
- finish the current PR
- fix the failing checks on this pull request
- work through the review feedback and push the fixes

description: Finish the GitHub pull request attached to the current branch; resolve merge conflicts, diagnose and fix failed CI checks, action review feedback from every source without duplicating replies that are awaiting a reviewer response, push focused commits, and continue until current-head CI and any running PR Agent review succeed and all actionable feedback is addressed. Use whenever the user asks to finish, complete, ready, resolve, fix, or address feedback/CI/conflicts on the current PR.

# Finish PR

Bring the pull request attached to the current branch to a genuinely ready state.

Requires Git 2.38+, GitHub CLI (`gh`) authenticated for the repository, and PowerShell 7 (`pwsh`) for bundled helpers.

## Definition of done

Finish only when all of these are true for the current PR HEAD:

- GitHub and a local merge probe show no merge conflicts.
- No CI check is failing. Pending checks may still be running, but never describe the PR as fully ready while a required check is pending.
- Every unresolved review thread is in one of these states:
  - its latest unaddressed feedback has been actioned and the agent has replied with the result; or
  - the latest relevant comment is the agent's response and no reviewer has replied afterwards, so the thread is awaiting review and needs no duplicate work.
- No reply created by this run remains in a pending GitHub review.
- No review thread's resolution state was changed by this run.
- If PR Agent is running for this repository, the exact current HEAD carries a successful completed `PR Agent` check run or a `PR Agent` commit status with state `success`, with no active PR Agent review signal. See the PR Agent section below for detection and state semantics.

An unresolved thread is not automatically unfinished. Reviewers own resolution state; the conversation order determines whether the agent currently owes action.

## PR Agent

PR Agent is a self-hosted reviewer that may or may not be running. Detect its check run named `PR Agent` or its legacy commit status with context `PR Agent` (configurable via its `CHECK_NAME`), posted on every PR head it reviews.

- **Detection**: PR Agent is considered running for this PR when a `PR Agent` check run or commit status exists on the current HEAD or on any earlier commit of the pull request. If neither exists anywhere on the PR, it is not running — never wait for it, never post anything to trigger it, and skip every PR Agent rule below.
