# Land — drive your own PR to ready-to-merge

Takes a PR **you authored** and shepherds it to the merge button: green
CI, every review thread addressed, approved, branch up to date. For PRs
someone else authored, use `review-pr` instead — it reads and comments
and never pushes.

Read `pr-common/COMMON.md` (sibling skill, same skills root) first. It
defines hints, the seen file, the state file, and forge resolution. This
document only covers what to *do*.

**Never merge.** The final click is the user's — every repo, every
forge. No `gh pr merge`, no merge API call, no `--auto`.

**Spend nothing while idle.** You do not wait, poll, or arm watchers.
The daemon wakes you with a hint when something changes. Do the work the
hint points at, then end the turn. The exception is the no-daemon
fallback in `COMMON.md`.

Entered three ways: a hint (`skill=land`), a handoff from `/work` or
`/yolo` right after the PR is opened, or by hand — `/land 47`, `/land
<url>`, `/land` on a branch with an open PR.

**Config:** `.claude/tracker.json` (or legacy `.claude/linear.json`) at
the repo root, if present — see `linear-common/COMMON.md`. Only needed
for tracker-issue closing and `remoteHost`.

## 1. Setup pass

Runs once per PR, on first entry. Everything here is work no event will
ever trigger, which is why `/work` still calls this skill at PR-open
time instead of leaving it to the first hint.

**Resolve `N`:** from `$ARGUMENTS` if given (parse the trailing number
of a URL), else the PR for the current branch — `gh pr view --json
number --jq .number`, or on gitea
`GET /repos/$REPO/pulls?state=open&head=<owner>:<branch>`. No open PR:
say so and stop. Do not open one; that's `/work`'s job.

**Baseline the seen file**, guarded against re-entry:

```bash
seen="$(git rev-parse --git-dir)/pr-<N>-seen"
if [ ! -f "$seen" ]; then
  # github
  gh api graphql -f query='{repository(owner:"<OWNER>",name:"<REPO>"){pullRequest(number:<N>){reviewThreads(first:100){nodes{comments(first:50){nodes{id}}}}}}}' \
    --jq '.data.repository.pullRequest.reviewThreads.nodes[].comments.nodes[].id' > "$seen" 2>/dev/null || : > "$seen"
fi
```

Gitea equivalent — issue comments plus reviews:

```bash
{ curl -sS -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/issues/$N/comments" | jq -r '.[]?.id'
  for r in $(curl -sS -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/pulls/$N/reviews" | jq -r '.[]?.id'); do
    echo "$r"
    curl -sS -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/pulls/$N/reviews/$r/comments" | jq -r '.[]?.id'
  done; } 2>/dev/null > "$seen" || : > "$seen"
```

**Request the Copilot review** (github only, once). Its comments then
arrive as ordinary `reason=comments` hints. Re-request only if its last
review is 2+ days old.

```bash
if ! gh pr view <N> --json reviews,reviewRequests --jq '.. | .login? // empty' | grep -qi copilot; then
  gh api -X POST repos/<OWNER>/<REPO>/pulls/<N>/requested_reviewers \
    -f 'reviewers[]=copilot-pull-request-reviewer[bot]' >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
fi
```

**Write the state file** — `<git-dir>/pr-<N>-state.md` with phase, head
SHA, and anything already outstanding. Then check whether CI is already
running and handle it as `reason=ci` below.

Then **end the turn**. Do not wait for anything.

## 2. Handling a hint

Each reason is one query. Nothing new: return silently, per
`COMMON.md`. Update the state file whenever the phase or head SHA
changes.

### `reason=comments`

List review and issue comments, drop every id already in the seen file,
and act on what's left:

- **Valid feedback** — fix the code, commit, push. Record the id.
- **Misunderstanding** — reply, and record the reply's own id in the
  same step:

  ```bash
  # github
  rid=$(gh api repos/<OWNER>/<REPO>/pulls/<N>/comments/<cid>/replies -f body="<reply>" --jq .id)
  echo "$rid" >> "$seen"
  ```

  ```bash
  # gitea
  rid=$(curl -sS -X POST -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    "$BASE/api/v1/repos/$REPO/issues/$N/comments" -d "$(jq -nc --arg body "<reply>" '{body:$body}')" | jq -r .id)
  echo "$rid" >> "$seen"
  ```

  Gitea has no reply endpoint, so that lands as a loose PR comment. To
  answer a code comment inside its own thread, post a review instead
  whose `comments[]` entry repeats the same `path` and `new_position` —
  gitea groups code comments by position into one conversation. Record
  the review id and its comment ids.

- **Resolve the thread** (github only — gitea has no per-thread
  resolve, so a short confirming reply plus the pushed fix is the
  signal):

  ```bash
  gh api graphql -f query='mutation { resolveReviewThread(input: {threadId: "<tid>"}) { thread { isResolved } } }'
  ```

Every unresolved thread gets an action — a fix or a reply. Bot
reviewers (Copilot, CodeRabbit, crit) count. Never declare the PR ready
over an unaddressed thread.

### `reason=ci`

The head SHA moved, so checks are running or done.

- github: `gh pr checks <N>` for the state, `gh run view <run-id>
  --log-failed` for a failure. Read only the failing job.
- gitea: `GET /repos/$REPO/commits/$SHA/status` — the combined state
  aggregates every context, not just the newest.

Failing: fix, commit, push. That produces another `reason=ci` hint when
the new head lands, so don't wait for it.

Still pending: return silently. The next hint carries the result.

**No checks at all a few minutes after a push** is worth surfacing to
the user rather than assuming — silence is not success. You have no
watcher to time out, so judge it from the timestamps you can see.

### `reason=conflicts`

The base moved under the PR. Merge base into the branch — never rebase
and force-push mid-review, which detaches every existing review
comment.

```bash
git fetch origin && git merge origin/<base> --no-edit
# resolve, commit, push
```

`gh pr update-branch <N>` (github) or `POST /repos/$REPO/pulls/$N/update`
(gitea) does the same thing server-side when there's nothing to resolve
by hand.

### `reason=state`

Read the PR state. Merged or closed: write the outcome to the state
file and go to close-out. Draft flipped to ready: nothing to do beyond
noting it. Anything else — usually a label change — is the empty case:
return silently.

## 3. Ready

All of these must hold: CI green, every thread resolved, approved with
no pending review requests, branch not behind the base.

Update the branch if the base moved (above), let CI re-run, and wait for
the resulting hint. The user's click should be the only step left.

## 4. Close out

Report: PR ready to merge with its link, CI green, approved, threads
resolved, and one line on what feedback was addressed. The merge, the
branch delete, and the tracking-issue close are the user's.

The review window is often hours and the user may be away. Push a
notification so the click can happen from a phone —
`mcp__ha-mcp__ha_call_service`, `domain: "notify"`, service
`mobile_app_pixel_7_naps` (or `blitz.notifyService` from config),
message "PR #<N> ready to merge" plus the URL.

`Closes <REF>` in the PR body closes a GitHub or Gitea tracking issue on
merge. Only Linear needs follow-up: tell the user to move the issue to
Done after merging, or do it yourself if you're still around.

**Draft PRs on client repos** publish only on an explicit green light
from the user.
