Iterate on a PR until CI passes. Use when you need to fix CI failures, address review feedback, or continuously push fixes until all checks are green.…
npx skills add https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-skills --skill iterate-prIterate on PR Until CI Passes
Goal: fix actionable CI failures and high/medium review feedback. Stop and report human approval, draft-readiness, and merge-readiness gates.
Requires:
- authenticated
gh uv- target repository root as cwd
- skill-root-relative script paths, for example
scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py
Bundled Scripts
| Script | Run | Output |
|---|---|---|
scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py | uv run scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py [--pr NUMBER] | JSON: pr, summary, checks, failure snippets |
scripts/fetch_pr_feedback.py | uv run scripts/fetch_pr_feedback.py [--pr NUMBER] | JSON buckets: high, medium, low, bot, resolved |
scripts/monitor_pr_checks.py | uv run scripts/monitor_pr_checks.py [--pr NUMBER] | terminal marker plus tab-separated checks |
scripts/reply_to_thread.py | uv run scripts/reply_to_thread.py THREAD_ID BODY [...] | JSON reply results |
Check summary fields include failed, pending, actionable_pending, and human_gate_pending.
Monitor markers:
ALL_CHECKS_PASSEDCHECKS_DONE_WITH_FAILURESNO_CHECKS_REGISTEREDDRAFT_PR_WITH_NO_CHECKSCHECKS_BLOCKED_BY_REVIEW_GATE
Workflow
1. Identify PR
Run:
gh pr view --json number,url,headRefName,isDraft,reviewDecision
Stop when:
- no PR exists
- draft PR has no checks after monitor grace period: report
DRAFT_PR_WITH_NO_CHECKS
Draft rule: inspect existing checks/feedback only. Do not mark ready for review unless asked.
2. Handle Feedback
Run uv run scripts/fetch_pr_feedback.py [--pr NUMBER].
| Bucket | Action |
|---|---|
high | fix |
medium | fix |
low | ask user which to address |
bot | skip informational comments |
resolved | skip |
Feedback fix checklist:
- verify root cause
- search related code
- fix all instances
- for
review_bot: true: fix real issues, explain false positives
Low-priority prompt format:
Found 3 low-priority suggestions:
1. [l] "Consider renaming this variable" - @reviewer in api.py:42
2. [nit] "Could use a list comprehension" - @reviewer in utils.py:18
3. [style] "Add a docstring" - @reviewer in models.py:55
Which should I address? ("1,3", "all", or "none")
3. Check CI Status
Run uv run scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py [--pr NUMBER].
| State | Action |
|---|---|
failed > 0 and actionable_pending == 0 | fix failures |
actionable_pending > 0 | wait; poll feedback while waiting |
pending > 0 and actionable_pending == 0 | report CHECKS_BLOCKED_BY_REVIEW_GATE |
| no checks after grace period | report NO_CHECKS_REGISTERED or DRAFT_PR_WITH_NO_CHECKS |
| all actionable checks passed | run post-CI feedback check |
Wait for actionable review bots: sentry, warden, cursor, bugbot, seer, codeql.
Do not wait for approval, isDraft, REVIEW_REQUIRED, Codecov, or informational bots.
4. Fix CI Failures
For each failure:
- read full log:
gh run view <run-id> --log-failed - trace from assertion/exception/lint rule to source
- state the cause before editing: "fails because X, affected by Y"
- search related call sites/patterns
- fix root cause, not symptom
- add focused test coverage when needed
5. Verify Locally, Then Commit and Push
Before commit:
- test fix: rerun specific test
- lint/type fix: rerun affected checker
- code fix: rerun covering tests
- local failure: fix before pushing
git add <files>
git commit -m "fix: <descriptive message>"
git push
6. Monitor CI and Address Feedback
Loop:
- run
uv run scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py - handle table in step 3
- while
actionable_pending > 0, runuv run scripts/fetch_pr_feedback.py - fix new high/medium feedback immediately
- if changed, verify, commit, push, restart loop
- otherwise sleep 30 seconds and repeat
- after checks pass, wait 10 seconds, fetch feedback once more
- if new high/medium feedback exists, return to step 4
Claude Code optional: run uv run scripts/monitor_pr_checks.py through MonitorTool with persistent: false; set timeout to normal repo CI duration. Restart the monitor after every push.
Exit Conditions
| Exit | Conditions |
|---|---|
| Success | actionable CI passed; post-CI feedback clean; low-priority choice handled |
| Ask user | same failure after 2 attempts; feedback unclear; infrastructure issue |
| Stop | no PR; branch needs rebase; no checks; draft no-checks; only human gates remain |
Fallback
If scripts fail, use gh CLI directly:
gh pr view --json number,url,headRefName,isDraft,reviewDecisiongh pr checks --json name,state,bucket,description,linkgh run view <run-id> --log-failedgh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}/comments
