## What it does

The skill takes a PR number and drives it to `complete` status under the same validation and label rules as `om-auto-create-pr`. Work happens in an isolated worktree off the PR head, never in your primary one. Before touching anything it runs a three-signal in-progress check: the `in-progress` label, an assignee other than the current user, or a fresh claim comment from another actor. A live lock owned by someone else stops the run — worth checking who already picked up the task before you step on it.

The PR does not have to come from this pipeline. A human's PR, one from another tool, or a crashed run with no committed plan gets adopted: the skill reconstructs the goal from the description, comments, review feedback, linked issues and diff, writes it down as a real plan, and continues under the same discipline. Missing paperwork is never a reason to hand a PR back unfinished.

Arguments: `{prNumber}` is required, `--force` bypasses the concurrency check, `--from <phase.step>` overrides the resume point, `--adopt <ask|auto|off>` sets what happens without a usable plan, and `--goal "<text>"` supplies a goal to reconstruct against. Configuration comes from `.ai/agentic.config.json` plus the tracker descriptor, and repo and tracker content is treated as data, not instructions. The lock is released at the end even on failure.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install open-mercato/skills om-auto-continue-pr
```

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

### Gemini CLI

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

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/open-mercato/skills --path skills/om-auto-continue-pr
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/om-auto-continue-pr/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 -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/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- resume an abandoned PR from its first unchecked step
- rebuild a plan for a PR that has none
- keep two auto-skills from claiming the same PR
- continue a PR opened by a human or another tool
- drive a PR to complete with the right labels

## Example prompts
- /om-auto-continue-pr 1492
- /om-auto-continue-pr 1492 --adopt auto
- /om-auto-continue-pr 1492 --from 2.1 --goal "add CSV export"

description: Resume any open PR — started by `om-auto-create-pr` or opened outside the pipeline. Claims it, resumes in an isolated worktree from the first unchecked step of its execution plan; a PR with no plan is adopted — the goal is reconstructed from its description, comments, review feedback, linked issues and diff, then executed.

# Auto Continue PR

Resume a PR that is not finished. Given a PR number, you re-enter the same worktree discipline, pick up from the first unchecked Progress step in the linked execution plan, and drive the PR to `complete` status with the same validation and label rules as `om-auto-create-pr`.

The PR does **not** have to come from this pipeline. When it carries no execution plan — a human's PR, one from another tool, or a run that crashed before committing its plan — you **adopt** it: reconstruct the goal from the PR's own context, write it down as a real plan, and continue under the same discipline (step 2, `references/adopt-pr.md`). Missing paperwork is never a reason to hand a PR back unfinished.

## 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 Progress section cannot be parsed unambiguously.
- `--adopt <ask|auto|off>` (optional) — how to handle a PR with no usable execution plan. `ask` lands the reconstructed plan and stops for the user to confirm it; `auto` lands it, documents it on the PR, and implements it without asking; `off` restores the pre-adoption behavior (report the missing plan and stop). Default: `auto` for unattended runs (chain step, schedule, CI) and `ask` when a user is in the loop — full decision rule in `references/adopt-pr.md`.
- `--goal "<text>"` (optional) — the goal to reconstruct against, for a PR whose description does not state one. Treated as the highest-confidence evidence in the adoption sweep; it narrows the reconstruction, it never licenses work the PR's diff and conversation do not support.
