Our review
Monitors CI status for a pull request, automatically fixes failures, and squash-merges the PR once all checks pass.
Strengths
- Fully automates the squash-merge workflow
- Handles branch switching and restoration of original state
- Intelligently consolidates commit messages for a clean history
- Attempts to auto-fix CI failures before retrying
Limitations
- Requires the 'gh' CLI to be installed and configured
- Automatic CI failure fixes may not always be sufficient without human intervention
- Only works for the current branch's PR or a specified PR number
When you want to reliably merge a PR after ensuring all CI checks pass, avoiding repetitive manual merges.
When you need a complex merge commit or manual code review before merging, or if you lack permissions to push to the remote branch.
Security analysis
CautionThe skill uses git and gh CLI to push and merge changes, which are powerful operations but for legitimate PR management. No destructive or exfiltrating commands are instructed. Potential risk from automated code fixing lies in the AI's interpretation, not the skill itself.

Examples
/merge-pr/merge-pr 42name: merge-pr description: | Watch CI checks, auto-fix failures, and squash-merge the PR when all checks pass.
Merge PR When CI Passes
Wait for CI checks to pass, then merge the specified PR with squash.
Usage
/merge-pr <pr-number>
If no PR number is provided, use the current branch's PR.
Instructions
-
Determine target PR and branch:
- Record the current branch:
git branch --show-current - If
$ARGUMENTSis provided (PR number specified):- Get the PR's head branch:
gh pr view <pr-number> --json headRefName -q .headRefName - Compare with current branch
- If different branch:
- Stash all local changes (including untracked):
git stash push -u -m "merge-pr: stashing for PR #<pr-number>" - Switch to PR branch:
git checkout <pr-branch> - Set
SWITCHED_BRANCH=trueandORIGINAL_BRANCH=<current-branch>
- Stash all local changes (including untracked):
- Get the PR's head branch:
- If no
$ARGUMENTS, use the current branch's PR
- Record the current branch:
-
Check uncommitted changes: Run
git statusto check for uncommitted changes:- If there are uncommitted changes, inform the user and ask if they want to commit
- If yes, invoke the
commit-changesskill to create a proper commit
-
Check unpushed commits: Run
git log origin/<branch>..HEAD --onelineto check for unpushed commits:- If there are unpushed commits, inform the user and push them:
git push
- If there are unpushed commits, inform the user and push them:
-
Check for existing PR: Run
gh pr view --json number,url -q '.number' 2>/dev/nullto check if a PR exists for the current branch:- If no PR exists and no
$ARGUMENTSprovided, ask the user if they want to create a PR - If yes, invoke the
pr-pushskill to create the PR, then continue - If no, inform the user that a PR is required and stop
- If no PR exists and no
-
Get PR number: If
$ARGUMENTSis provided, use it as the PR number. Otherwise, get the PR for the current branch:gh pr view --json number -q .number -
Watch CI status: Monitor the CI checks for the PR:
gh pr checks <pr-number> --watch -
Handle CI failures: If any check fails:
- Get the failed check details:
gh pr checks <pr-number> - For each failed check, fetch the logs to understand the error:
gh run view <run-id> --log-failed - Analyze the error and attempt to fix it
- Push the fix and repeat from step 6
- Get the failed check details:
-
Prepare commit message: Before merging, consolidate commit messages:
- Get all commits in the PR:
gh pr view <pr-number> --json commits -q '.commits[].messageHeadline' - Create a consolidated commit message that:
- Uses the PR title as the main message
- Removes duplicate/redundant commit messages
- Keeps unique meaningful changes as bullet points in the body
- Get all commits in the PR:
-
Merge the PR: Once all checks pass, merge with squash:
gh pr merge <pr-number> --squash --delete-branch --body "<consolidated-message>" -
Restore original state or switch to main:
- If
SWITCHED_BRANCH=true(was working on a different branch):- Switch back to original branch:
git checkout <ORIGINAL_BRANCH> - Restore stashed changes:
git stash pop - Inform the user that original branch and changes have been restored
- Switch back to original branch:
- If
SWITCHED_BRANCH=false(was on the PR branch itself):- The PR branch has been deleted, switch to main and pull:
git checkout main && git pull
- The PR branch has been deleted, switch to main and pull:
- If
-
Report result: Show the merge commit and confirm success.
