# om-auto-continue-pr-loop

Picks up an auto-PR run that stopped halfway: claims the PR by number, finds the first unfinished row in PLAN.md and pushes the work through to complete.

## What it does

An automated PR run sometimes stalls before the finish. This skill re-enters the same discipline instead of starting over. It reads `HANDOFF.md` for session context, parses the `## Tasks` table at the top of `PLAN.md` — the authoritative source for step status — and resumes at the first row whose `Status` is not `done`. From there it follows the creator skill's routine: a commit per step, checkpoints with integration tests and UI screenshots, a final gate, labels.

\`{prNumber}` is the one required argument. `--force` takes over a PR already marked as in-progress, and `--from <phase.step>` overrides the resume point when the tasks table cannot be parsed cleanly. The run folder comes from the `Tracking plan:` or `Tracking run folder:` line in the PR body left by the creator. The skill updates that same PR rather than opening a duplicate.

It expects `.ai/agentic.config.json` and a tracker descriptor, and boots `om-setup-agent-pipeline` when they are missing. Without them there is no `get-pr`, no `assign-pr`, no labels. Note also that it targets PRs opened by `om-auto-create-pr-loop`. A PR with no plan at all gets handed to plain `om-auto-continue-pr`. For a typo fix or a dependency bump the plain skill is enough, and this one only adds ceremony.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-auto-continue-pr-loop -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-auto-continue-pr-loop -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-auto-continue-pr-loop -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-auto-continue-pr-loop -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/open-mercato/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/om-auto-continue-pr-loop/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- resume a stalled run at the first unfinished row of `PLAN.md`
- claim a PR by number so other auto-skills leave it alone
- keep a commit and checkpoint per step instead of one bulk commit at the end
- update the existing PR instead of creating a second one
- carry a spec through to a PR while keeping a design-only spec design-only

## Example prompts
- Continue PR `1492` from where the previous run stopped.
- Take over PR `1492` with `--force`, the last agent dropped it.
- Resume PR `1487` from step `2.1`, the tasks table would not parse.

name: om-auto-continue-pr-loop
description: Advanced om-auto-continue-pr for PRs started by om-auto-create-pr-loop — claims the PR, resumes from the first non-done PLAN.md Tasks row in an isolated worktree, keeps the per-step commit and checkpoint discipline (integration tests + screenshots for UI), runs the full gate at completion, keeps spec-only design PRs design-only (implementation ships on its own PR via om-auto-implement-spec), and preserves the run-folder and label contract. Use plain om-auto-continue-pr for simple runs.

# Auto Continue PR (loop)

Resume an `om-auto-create-pr-loop` run that did not finish in one go. Given a PR number, you re-enter the same worktree discipline, read `HANDOFF.md` for session context, parse the top-of-file `## Tasks` table in `PLAN.md` (the authoritative Step-status source), pick up from the first row whose `Status` is not `done`, and drive the PR to `complete` status with the creator skill's lean per-Step commit, checkpoint, final-gate, and label discipline.

## Arguments

- `{prNumber}` (required) — the PR number to resume (for example `1492`).
- `--force` (optional) — bypass the in-progress concurrency check; use when intentionally taking over a PR that another auto-skill or human already claimed.
- `--from <phase.step>` (optional) — override the resume point (e.g. `2.1`). Only honored when the `## Tasks` table (and any legacy `## Progress` fallback) cannot be parsed unambiguously.

## Chaining

This skill resumes an existing loop run: it consumes a `{prNumber}` and reads the PR body's `Tracking plan:` / `Tracking run folder:` line (written by `om-auto-create-pr-loop`) to find the run folder, then updates that same PR rather than opening a duplicate (the reuse guard in `references/pr-finalize.md`). It ends by reporting the `PR:` / `Issue:` chaining reference lines so the next skill in a chain can consume them. Companion skills (optional, with inline fallbacks where noted): `om-open-pr` (push + label normalization, inline fallback when absent), `om-auto-review-pr` (the single code-review/autofix pass), `om-integration-tests` (checkpoint + final-gate suites), and `om-auto-continue-pr` (adoption of a PR that has no plan at all, step 3) — each runs verbatim.
