The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

9 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 48 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 4

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 5

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Get GitHub owner/repo: use the cached values from the session context (injected at SessionStart).

    line 14
  2. Very specific:

    Check features array for linked issue/PR numbers

    line 22
  3. Distinctive:

    If PR A base is PR B head branch, merge B first

    line 30
  4. Distinctive:

    Check PR body for "Closes #XX" or "Fixes #XX" (these auto-close on merge)

    line 46
  5. Very specific:

    Check .claude-harness/features/active.json for linked issues.

    line 47
  6. Very specific:

    Add comment to original feature issue: gh issue comment {number} --body "Related fix merged: #{fix-issue} - {description}"

    line 50
  7. Very specific:

    Delete the local branch if it remains: git branch -d {branch} (safe delete)

    line 51
  8. Distinctive:

    Delete local feature branches that were merged

    line 60
  9. Distinctive:

    Verify remote branches were deleted (list any that remain)

    line 61

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 48 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Merge - Merge PRs, Close Issues, Clean Up Branches

Merge all open PRs and close related issues. Requires the gh CLI to be authenticated (gh auth status).

Phase 0: Get Repository Info

  1. Get GitHub owner/repo: use the cached values from the session context (injected at SessionStart). Only if absent, parse once from git remote get-url origin (SSH: git@github.com:owner/repo.git, HTTPS: https://github.com/owner/repo.git). Use the owner/repo for ALL GitHub calls in this command.

Phase 1: Gather State

  1. Gather state:
    • List all open PRs: gh pr list --json number,title,headRefName,baseRefName,url,body
    • List all open issues with "feature" or "bugfix" labels: gh issue list --label feature --label bugfix --json number,title
    • Read .claude-harness/features/active.json:
      • Check features array for linked issue/PR numbers
      • Check fixes array for linked issue/PR numbers

Phase 2: Build Dependency Graph

  1. Build dependency graph:
    • For each PR, check if its base branch is another feature branch (not main/master)
    • Order PRs so that dependent PRs are merged after their base PRs
    • If PR A base is PR B head branch, merge B first

Phase 3: Pre-merge Validation

  1. Pre-merge validation for each PR (gh pr view {number} --json state,mergeable,reviewDecision,statusCheckRollup):
    • CI status passes
    • No merge conflicts
    • Has required approvals (if any)
    • Report any PRs that cannot be merged and why

Phase 4: Execute Merges

  1. Execute merges in dependency order:
    • Merge the PR: gh pr merge {number} --squash --delete-branch (--delete-branch removes the remote branch and, when the repo is checked out on it, moves you back to the default branch)
    • Find and close any linked issues:
      • Check PR body for "Closes #XX" or "Fixes #XX" (these auto-close on merge)
      • Check .claude-harness/features/active.json for linked issues; close stragglers with gh issue close {number}
    • For fix PRs:
      • Close the fix issue
      • Add comment to original feature issue: gh issue comment {number} --body "Related fix merged: #{fix-issue} - {description}"
    • Delete the local branch if it remains: git branch -d {branch} (safe delete)
    • Update .claude-harness/features/active.json:
      • For features: Set status="passing" in features array
      • For fixes: Set status="passing" in fixes array

Phase 5: Cleanup

  1. Cleanup:
    • Prune local branches: git fetch --prune
    • Delete local feature branches that were merged
    • Verify remote branches were deleted (list any that remain)
    • Switch to main/master branch
    • Pull latest: git pull

Phase 6: Report Summary

  1. Report summary:
    • PRs merged (with commit hashes)
    • Issues closed
    • Branches deleted (local and remote)
    • Any failures or skipped items

Note: Version tagging and GitHub releases should be managed separately using git commands or GitHub's release UI directly.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
