# agentshore-unblock-pr

You are a AgentShore skill agent. AgentShore is a pure RL scheduler, not an LLM.
It invoked you with parameters in `$ARGUMENTS`.

## Forbidden mutations

Never touch `.github/workflows/**`, `.github/actions/**`, other CI configs (`.gitlab-ci.yml`, `.circleci/**`, `azure-pipelines.yml`, `Jenkinsfile`, `bitbucket-pipelines.yml`), or tests that assert their existence. If CI changes are required, post a comment stating CI config is owned by the human maintainer, then exit with `"success": false` and `"error": "ci-change requested but forbidden by skill policy"`.

## Inputs

- `$ARGUMENTS` - optional GitHub pull request number. If empty, select the oldest open PR
  with any of the following blockers: `mergeable == CONFLICTING`, `reviewDecision == CHANGES_REQUESTED`,
  failed required checks, or labels such as `blocked`, `agentshore/blocked`, `needs-work`,
  `changes-requested`, or `do-not-merge`.

## Step 1 - Select the blocked PR

1. Read `.agentshore/context.json` if it exists. Note session learnings and beads graph context.
2. If `$ARGUMENTS` contains a PR number, set `PR_NUMBER` to it.
3. If no PR number was provided, list open PRs:
   ```
   gh pr list --state open --limit 50 --json number,title,headRefName,labels,reviewDecision,statusCheckRollup,isDraft,mergeable
   ```
4. Ignore draft PRs. Select the oldest PR with one or more blockers:
   - `mergeable == "CONFLICTING"`
   - `reviewDecision == "CHANGES_REQUESTED"`
   - label `blocked`, `agentshore/blocked`, `needs-work`, `changes-requested`, or `do-not-merge`
   - a failed, errored, timed-out, cancelled, or action-required status check
5. If no blocked PR exists, output `"success": false` with `"error": "no blocked PR available"` and stop.

## Step 2 - Read feedback and blockers

1. Fetch PR details:
   ```
   gh pr view $PR_NUMBER --json number,title,body,baseRefName,headRefName,headRefOid,labels,reviewDecision,statusCheckRollup,reviews,comments,files,mergeable
   ```
2. **Stale-review short-circuit.** Inspect `reviews` (newest first). If the most recent `CHANGES_REQUESTED` review's `commit_id` is older than current `headRefOid`, AND there are no other blockers (no merge conflicts, no failed CI, no block labels):
   - Do NOT modify the branch.
   - This successful unblock counts as AgentShore's code review for the PR.
   - Output `"success": true` with artifact `{"type": "stale_review_state", "pr": $PR_NUMBER, "stale_sha": "<commit_id>", "head_sha": "<headRefOid>"}` and requested mutation `{"type": "request_play", "play": "merge_pr", "pr": $PR_NUMBER}`. Stop.
   - If other blockers exist alongside a stale review, address those first; this short-circuit applies only when CHANGES_REQUESTED is the sole obstacle.
3. Fetch inline review comments:
   ```
   gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/comments --paginate
   ```
   Derive `{owner}` and `{repo}` from `gh repo view --json owner,name`.
4. Read every unresolved or latest relevant reviewer comment, failed check, and AgentShore block comment.
5. Group blockers into a checklist. For each item record:
   - source: merge_conflict, reviewer, AgentShore review, or CI
   - file and line if available
   - exact requested change
   - evidence you will use to verify the fix

## Step 3a - Resolve merge conflicts (if mergeable == CONFLICTING)

Do **not** check out the PR branch in the main worktree — concurrent agents share it. Use an isolated worktree.

1. Record the main project directory: `MAIN_REPO=$(pwd)`.
2. Read the PR's `headRefName` (the feature branch) and `baseRefName` from Step 2.
3. Compute an isolated worktree path: `REBASE_WORKTREE="$MAIN_REPO/.agentshore/worktrees/pr-$PR_NUMBER-unblock"`.
4. Remove any stale worktree from a prior run:
   ```
   git worktree remove --force "$REBASE_WORKTREE" 2>/dev/null || rm -rf "$REBASE_WORKTREE"
   ```
5. Delete any stale local copy of the branch, fetch the branch, and create the worktree:
   ```
   git branch -D "$HEAD_BRANCH" 2>/dev/null || true
   git fetch origin "$HEAD_BRANCH":"$HEAD_BRANCH"
   git worktree add "$REBASE_WORKTREE" "$HEAD_BRANCH"
   ```
6. Inside the worktree, attempt a clean rebase onto the base branch:
   ```
   cd "$REBASE_WORKTREE"
   git fetch origin "$BASE_BRANCH"
   git rebase origin/"$BASE_BRANCH"
   ```
7. **If the rebase succeeds cleanly:** `git push --force-with-lease`, then `cd "$MAIN_REPO"`. Leave the worktree for Step 3b; re-fetch PR status via `gh pr view $PR_NUMBER --json headRefOid,mergeable,statusCheckRollup,reviewDecision,reviews` and continue to Step 3b (skip creation).
8. **If the rebase produces conflicts:** `git rebase --abort`, `cd "$MAIN_REPO"`, `git worktree remove --force "$REBASE_WORKTREE"`. Inspect conflict type:
   - **Modify/delete conflicts** (one side deleted a file the other modifies — PR built on deleted code, irresolvable): close the PR and stop.
     ```
     gh pr close $PR_NUMBER --comment "Closing: this PR modifies files that were deleted on $(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD || echo main) during a subsequent consolidation. The approach needs to be reimplemented against the current codebase in a new branch."
     ```
     Output `"success": false`, `"blocked_by": "merge_conflicts"`, `"error": "PR closed — irresolvable modify/delete conflict: files deleted on base branch"`.
   - **Content conflicts** (both sides modified the same file): first check linked issues; if any are CLOSED, the PR is superseded.
     - List linked issues: `gh pr view $PR_NUMBER --json closingIssuesReferences --jq '.closingIssuesReferences[].number' 2>/dev/null`
     - For each: `gh issue view <issue_number> --json state --jq '.state'`
     - If any is `CLOSED`, close the PR and stop:
       ```
       gh pr close $PR_NUMBER --comment "Closing: the linked issue was already resolved by a competing PR. This branch has unresolvable conflicts and its work is superseded."
       ```
       Output `"success": true`, `"artifacts": [{"type": "pr_closed", "pr": $PR_NUMBER, "reason": "superseded"}]`, `"error": "PR closed — superseded: linked issue already closed"`.
     - Otherwise attempt manual resolution: re-enter or recreate the rebase worktree, read each conflicted file's markers (`<<<<<<<`, `=======`, `>>>>>>>`), and merge by judgment.
       - **Additive conflicts** (both sides add new code at the same point — tests, functions, list entries): keep all additions from both sides.
       - **Semantic conflicts** (both sides change the same logic): merge if intent is clear and compatible; give up if contradictory.
     - After editing: `git add <file>` then `git rebase --continue`. If complete, force-push and proceed to Step 3b (worktree already exists).
     - If irreconcilable: abort, add `needs-rebase` label if present (`gh pr edit $PR_NUMBER --add-label "needs-rebase"`, ignore errors), and output `"success": false`, `"blocked_by": "merge_conflicts"`, `"error": "Merge conflicts require manual resolution"`. Stop.

## Step 3b - Create an isolated PR worktree (if not already created by Step 3a)

If Step 3a succeeded, the worktree at `$REBASE_WORKTREE` already exists; just `cd "$REBASE_WORKTREE"`. Otherwise (Step 3a skipped):

1. `MAIN_REPO=$(pwd)`. Do not run `git stash`. Extract `HEAD_BRANCH` from Step 2.
2. Create the worktree:
   ```
   WORKTREE="$MAIN_REPO/.agentshore/worktrees/pr-$PR_NUMBER-unblock"
   git fetch origin "$HEAD_BRANCH"
   git worktree remove --force "$WORKTREE" 2>/dev/null || rm -rf "$WORKTREE"
   git branch -D "$HEAD_BRANCH" 2>/dev/null || true
   git worktree add -b "$HEAD_BRANCH" "$WORKTREE" "origin/$HEAD_BRANCH"
   cd "$WORKTREE"
   ```

## Step 4 - Fix only the blockers

1. Read the relevant files in full context before editing.
2. Apply the smallest complete fix for each blocker.
3. Do not add unrelated refactors, new features, or opportunistic cleanup.
4. If feedback is unclear or technically wrong, do not guess. Leave a PR comment with the
   specific ambiguity or pushback and set `"success": false` with a concise error.
5. If CI failure is the blocker, reproduce it locally when possible, identify the root cause,
   and fix that root cause rather than masking the symptom.
6. If CI cannot be reproduced locally and you conclude the failure is external (billing block,
   runner outage, infrastructure issue), you must quote the **literal API/annotation text**
   that establishes this. Run
   `gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/check-runs/{check_id}/annotations` (or
   `gh run view <run_id> --log-failed`) and copy the exact error string into your PR comment
   and the result block's `error` field. Never paraphrase or infer an external cause without
   literal evidence.

## Step 5 - Validate

1. Run the narrowest command that proves each blocker is fixed.
2. Run broader validation when the touched files have wider blast radius.
3. Save the exact command, exit code, and outcome in `verification_evidence`.
4. Do not claim the PR is ready unless fresh validation succeeded in this run.

## Step 6 - Push and update PR

1. Re-check `git status --porcelain` and stage only intentional changes.
2. Commit the fix:
   ```
   git add <changed-files>
   git commit -m "fix: unblock PR #$PR_NUMBER"
   ```
3. Push back to the existing PR branch:
   ```
   git push origin HEAD:$HEAD_BRANCH
   ```
4. Add a PR comment summarizing addressed blockers and validation evidence. If CI failure appears external, quote the literal API annotation text in the PR comment and result `error` field. Do not paraphrase.
   ```
   gh pr comment $PR_NUMBER --body "<summary, including any quoted CI annotation>"
   ```
5. If all AgentShore block labels are addressed and validation passed, remove `blocked`, `agentshore/blocked`, `needs-work`, and `changes-requested` labels if present. Do not remove `do-not-merge` or `needs-human-review`.
6. A successful unblock counts as AgentShore's code review for the PR. If all blockers are addressed and validation passed, request `merge_pr` next with `{"type": "request_play", "play": "merge_pr", "pr": $PR_NUMBER}`.

## Step 7 - Cleanup

1. Return to the main project directory: `cd "$MAIN_REPO"`.
2. Remove the worktree:
   ```
   git worktree remove --force "$WORKTREE"
   ```

## Result

Output a fenced JSON block exactly like this:

```json
{"success": true, "artifacts": [{"type": "pr_unblock_attempt", "number": 42, "branch": "agentshore/17-add-widget", "head_sha": "abc123"}], "issues_created": [], "requested_mutations": [{"type": "request_play", "play": "merge_pr", "pr": 42}], "blocked_by": [], "addressed_items": ["rebased onto main (was CONFLICTING)", "reviewer requested null handling in src/widget.py"], "verification_evidence": [{"command": "pytest tests/test_widget.py -v", "exit_code": 0, "summary": "12 passed"}], "error": null}
```

For the stale-review short-circuit (Step 2), output exactly:

```json
{"success": true, "artifacts": [{"type": "stale_review_state", "pr": 42, "stale_sha": "abc123", "head_sha": "def456"}], "issues_created": [], "requested_mutations": [{"type": "request_play", "play": "merge_pr", "pr": 42}], "blocked_by": ["stale_changes_requested_review"], "addressed_items": ["accepted stale CHANGES_REQUESTED review as satisfied and requested merge_pr"], "verification_evidence": [], "error": null}
```

For unresolvable merge conflicts, output:

```json
{"success": false, "artifacts": [], "issues_created": [], "requested_mutations": [], "blocked_by": ["merge_conflicts"], "addressed_items": [], "verification_evidence": [], "error": "Merge conflicts require manual resolution"}
```

If no code change is possible because feedback is unclear or wrong, set `"success": false`, include the PR comment artifact if you posted one, and explain the blocker in `"error"`. Do not omit the result block.
