## What it does

The skill has two modes, and one PR can trigger both. In comment mode it reads a specific review remark and files the request inside it as an issue, assigned to whoever was @-mentioned or to the PR author. In design-doc mode it looks at the files the PR touched, finds a markdown document in the specs or docs area, and checks whether implementation of that document is already tracked.

A bare PR link still runs the design-doc check. Added files win over modified ones: an edit to a document that already exists is a weak signal, so the skill asks before filing anything. Archived subfolders and files like README or CHANGELOG are ignored.

Before any issue is created, an open-issue search by the file name runs first to avoid duplicates; on a hit the skill reports the existing one. When quoting a comment it swaps tokens, passwords and connection strings for `[redacted]`, because PR comments are written by outsiders and must not be obeyed as commands. The tracker operations rely on `.ai/agentic.config.json` and a tracker descriptor, so the repo needs both.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-followup-issue-from-pr -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

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-followup-issue-from-pr/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- file an issue from a reviewer's comment
- keep requested changes from a closed PR
- find an existing implementation issue for a doc
- open an issue to implement a new design doc
- assign a follow-up to a commenter or PR author

## Example prompts
- Open a follow-up issue from this PR link and assign it to the commenter
- Check whether the new document in this PR has a tracking issue and create one if not
- Turn the request in that comment into a tracker issue

name: om-followup-issue-from-pr
description: Turn a PR into tracked follow-up work — paste a PR or PR-comment link to extract the actionable ask and open a follow-up issue assigned to the @-mention or PR author; for a PR adding a design doc, it opens the missing `Implement:` tracking issue instead. Use for "make a follow-up issue", "create an issue for this", or a pasted PR/comment link with that intent.

# Follow-up Issue from PR

Companion to the code-review process. The user pastes a link to a **PR** or a **specific PR comment**. This skill turns the PR into tracked follow-up work in up to two ways, and **both can apply to the same PR**:

- **Comment mode** — the linked comment (or a comment chosen from a plain PR link) contains an actionable request (usually written by the reviewer). The skill turns that request into a tracker issue, assigned to the right person.
- **Design-doc mode** — the PR adds or contains a design/proposal document in the repo's docs area (a design PR). The skill checks whether a tracking issue for *implementing that document* already exists and, if not, opens one following the `Implement: …` tracking-issue convention.

When a plain PR link is pasted, always run the design-doc check (step 3) in addition to the comment handling. When a specific comment link is pasted, comment mode is the primary intent, but still surface any new design doc in the PR so the user can opt into a tracking issue.

## Inputs

- **A PR or PR-comment URL** (required), one of (shown here in their GitHub shapes — the tracker descriptor's Conventions section defines the link shapes for the configured tracker):
  - PR comment link: `…/pull/<num>#issuecomment-<id>`
  - Inline review comment link: `…/pull/<num>#discussion_r<id>`
  - Plain PR link: `…/pull/<num>` — no specific comment; runs design-doc detection (step 3) and, if comments exist, comment selection (step 2).
  - GitLab shapes: `…/-/merge_requests/<num>#note_<id>` (any note, conversation or inline) and a plain `…/-/merge_requests/<num>`.
- The repo is parsed from the URL (`owner/repo`; on GitLab the full `group/subgroup/project` path before `/-/`). Don't assume the current repo.

## Steps

**ALWAYS check first:** Apply `.ai/skills/om-followup-issue-from-pr/SKILL.md` when present; safety rules still win.
