dx(skills): add /open-pr and /setup-repo skills (#12591)

### Why / What / How

**Why:** Agents working in worktrees lack guidance on two of the most
common workflows: properly opening PRs (using the repo template,
validating test coverage, triggering the review bot) and bootstrapping
the repo from scratch with a worktree-based layout. Without these
skills, agents either skip steps (no test plan, wrong template) or
require manual hand-holding for setup.

**What:** Adds two new Claude Code skills under `.claude/skills/`:
- `/open-pr` — A structured PR creation workflow that enforces the
canonical `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`, validates test coverage
for existing and new behaviors, supports a configurable base branch, and
integrates the `/review` bot workflow for agents without local testing
capability. Cross-references `/pr-test`, `/pr-review`, and `/pr-address`
for the full PR lifecycle.
- `/setup-repo` — An interactive repo bootstrapping skill that creates a
worktree-based layout (main + reviews + N numbered work branches).
Handles .env file provisioning with graceful fallbacks (.env.default,
.env.example), copies branchlet config, installs dependencies, and is
fully idempotent (safe to re-run).

**How:** Markdown-based SKILL.md files following the existing skill
conventions. Both skills use proper bash patterns (seq-based loops
instead of brace expansion with variables, existence checks before
branch/worktree creation, error reporting on install failures).
`/open-pr` delegates to AskUserQuestion-style prompts for base branch
selection. `/setup-repo` uses AskUserQuestion for interactive branch
count and base branch selection.

### Changes 🏗️

- Added `.claude/skills/open-pr/SKILL.md` — PR creation workflow with:
  - Pre-flight checks (committed, pushed, formatted)
- Test coverage validation (existing behavior not broken, new behavior
covered)
- Canonical PR template enforcement (read and fill verbatim, no
pre-checked boxes)
  - Configurable base branch (defaults to dev)
- Review bot workflow (`/review` comment + 30min wait) for agents
without local testing
  - Related skills table linking `/pr-test`, `/pr-review`, `/pr-address`

- Added `.claude/skills/setup-repo/SKILL.md` — Repo bootstrap workflow
with:
- Interactive setup (branch count: 4/8/16/custom, base branch selection)
- Idempotent branch creation (skips existing branches with info message)
  - Idempotent worktree creation (skips existing directories)
- .env provisioning with fallback chain (.env → .env.default →
.env.example → warning)
  - Branchlet config propagation
  - Dependency installation with success/failure reporting per worktree

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---

> [!NOTE]
> **Low Risk**
> Low risk documentation-only change: adds new markdown skills without
modifying runtime code. Main risk is workflow guidance drift (e.g.,
`.env`/worktree steps) if it diverges from actual repo conventions.
> 
> **Overview**
> Adds two new Claude Code skills under `.claude/skills/` to standardize
common developer workflows.
> 
> `/open-pr` documents a PR creation flow that enforces using
`.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` verbatim, calls out required test
coverage, and describes how to trigger/poll the `/review` bot when local
testing isn’t available.
> 
> `/setup-repo` documents an idempotent, interactive bootstrap for a
multi-worktree layout (creates `reviews` and `branch1..N`, provisions
`.env` files with `.env.default`/`.env.example` fallbacks, copies
`.branchlet.json`, and installs dependencies), complementing the
existing `/worktree` skill.

# Open a Pull Request
## Step 1: Pre-flight checks
Before opening the PR:
1. Ensure all changes are committed
2. Ensure the branch is pushed to the remote (`git push -u origin <branch>`)
3. Run linters/formatters across the whole repo (not just changed files) and commit any fixes
## Step 2: Test coverage
**This is critical.** Before opening the PR, verify:
### Existing behavior is not broken
- Identify which modules/components your changes touch
- Run the existing test suites for those areas
- If tests fail, fix them before opening the PR — do not open a PR with known regressions
### New behavior has test coverage
- Every new feature, endpoint, or behavior change needs tests
- If you added a new block, add tests for that block
- If you changed API behavior, add or update API tests
- If you changed frontend behavior, verify it doesn't break existing flows
If you cannot run the full test suite locally, note which tests you ran and which you couldn't in the test plan.
## Step 3: Create the PR using the repo template
Read the canonical PR template at `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` and use it **verbatim** as your PR body:
1. Read the template: `cat .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`
2. Preserve the exact section titles and formatting, including:
- `### Why / What / How`
- `### Changes 🏗️`
- `### Checklist 📋`
3. Replace HTML comment prompts (`<!-- ... -->`) with actual content; do not leave them in
4. **Do not pre-check boxes** — leave all checkboxes as `- [ ]` until each step is actually completed
5. Do not alter the template structure, rename sections, or remove any checklist items
**PR title must use conventional commit format** (e.g., `feat(backend): add new block`, `fix(frontend): resolve routing bug`, `dx(skills): update PR workflow`). See CLAUDE.md for the full list of scopes.
Use `gh pr create` with the base branch (defaults to `dev` if no `[base-branch]` was provided). Use `--body-file` to avoid shell interpretation of backticks and special characters:
```bash
BASE_BRANCH="${BASE_BRANCH:-dev}"
PR_BODY=$(mktemp)
cat > "$PR_BODY" << 'PREOF'
<filled-in template from .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md>
PREOF
gh pr create --base "$BASE_BRANCH" --title "<type>(scope): short description" --body-file "$PR_BODY"
rm "$PR_BODY"
```
## Step 4: Review workflow
### If you have a workspace that allows testing (docker, running backend, etc.)
- Run `/pr-test` to do E2E manual testing of the PR using docker compose, agent-browser, and API calls. This is the most thorough way to validate your changes before review.
- After testing, run `/pr-review` to self-review the PR for correctness, security, code quality, and testing gaps before requesting human review.
### If you do NOT have a workspace that allows testing
This is common for agents running in worktrees without a full stack. In this case:
1. Run `/pr-review` locally to catch obvious issues before pushing
2. **Comment `/review` on the PR** after creating it to trigger the review bot
3. **Poll for the review** rather than blindly waiting — check for new review comments every 30 seconds using `gh api repos/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/pulls/{N}/reviews --paginate` and the GraphQL inline threads query. The bot typically responds within 30 minutes, but polling lets the agent react as soon as it arrives.
4. Do NOT proceed or merge until the bot review comes back
5. Address any issues the bot raises — use `/pr-address` which has a full polling loop with CI + comment tracking
```bash
# After creating the PR:
PR_NUMBER=$(gh pr view --json number -q .number)
gh pr comment "$PR_NUMBER" --body "/review"
# Then use /pr-address to poll for and address the review when it arrives
```
## Step 5: Address review feedback
Once the review bot or human reviewers leave comments:
- Run `/pr-address` to address review comments. It will loop until CI is green and all comments are resolved.
- Do not merge without human approval.
## Related skills
| Skill | When to use |
|---|---|
| `/pr-test` | E2E testing with docker compose, agent-browser, API calls — use when you have a running workspace |
| `/pr-review` | Review for correctness, security, code quality — use before requesting human review |
| `/pr-address` | Address reviewer comments and loop until CI green — use after reviews come in |
## Step 6: Post-creation
After the PR is created and review is triggered:
- Share the PR URL with the user
- If waiting on the review bot, let the user know the expected wait time (~30 min)
- Do not merge without human approval

# Repository Setup
This skill sets up a worktree-based development layout from a freshly cloned repo. It creates:
- A **main** worktree (the primary checkout)
- A **reviews** worktree (for PR reviews)
- **N work branches** (branch1..branchN) for parallel development
## Step 1: Identify the repo
Determine the repo root and parent directory:
```bash
ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
REPO_NAME=$(basename "$ROOT")
PARENT=$(dirname "$ROOT")
```
Detect if the repo is already inside a worktree layout by counting sibling worktrees (not just checking the directory name, which could be anything):
```bash
# Count worktrees that are siblings (live under $PARENT but aren't $ROOT itself)
SIBLING_COUNT=$(git worktree list --porcelain 2>/dev/null | grep "^worktree " | grep -c "$PARENT/" || true)
if [ "$SIBLING_COUNT" -gt 1 ]; then
echo "INFO: Existing worktree layout detected at $PARENT ($SIBLING_COUNT worktrees)"
# Use $ROOT as-is; skip renaming/restructuring
else
echo "INFO: Fresh clone detected, proceeding with setup"
fi
```
## Step 2: Ask the user questions
Use AskUserQuestion to gather setup preferences:
1. **How many parallel work branches do you need?** (Options: 4, 8, 16, or custom)
- These become `branch1` through `branchN`
2. **Which branch should be the base?** (Options: origin/master, origin/dev, or custom)
- All work branches and reviews will start from this
## Step 3: Fetch and set up branches
```bash
cd "$ROOT"
git fetch origin
# Create the reviews branch from base (skip if already exists)
if git show-ref --verify --quiet refs/heads/reviews; then
echo "INFO: Branch 'reviews' already exists, skipping"
else
git branch reviews <base-branch>
fi
# Create numbered work branches from base (skip if already exists)
for i in $(seq 1 "$COUNT"); do
if git show-ref --verify --quiet "refs/heads/branch$i"; then
echo "INFO: Branch 'branch$i' already exists, skipping"
else
git branch "branch$i" <base-branch>
fi
done
```
## Step 4: Create worktrees
Create worktrees as siblings to the main checkout:
```bash
if [ -d "$PARENT/reviews" ]; then
echo "INFO: Worktree '$PARENT/reviews' already exists, skipping"
else
git worktree add "$PARENT/reviews" reviews
fi
for i in $(seq 1 "$COUNT"); do
if [ -d "$PARENT/branch$i" ]; then
echo "INFO: Worktree '$PARENT/branch$i' already exists, skipping"
else
git worktree add "$PARENT/branch$i" "branch$i"
fi
done
```
## Step 5: Set up environment files
**Do NOT assume .env files exist.** For each worktree (including main if needed):
1. Check if `.env` exists in the source worktree for each path
2. If `.env` exists, copy it
3. If only `.env.default` or `.env.example` exists, copy that as `.env`
4. If neither exists, warn the user and list which env files are missing
Env file locations to check (same as the `/worktree` skill — keep these in sync):
- `autogpt_platform/.env`
- `autogpt_platform/backend/.env`
- `autogpt_platform/frontend/.env`
> **Note:** This env copying logic intentionally mirrors the `/worktree` skill's approach. If you update the path list or fallback logic here, update `/worktree` as well.
```bash
SOURCE="$ROOT"
WORKTREES="reviews"
for i in $(seq 1 "$COUNT"); do WORKTREES="$WORKTREES branch$i"; done
FOUND_ANY_ENV=0
for wt in $WORKTREES; do
TARGET="$PARENT/$wt"
for envpath in autogpt_platform autogpt_platform/backend autogpt_platform/frontend; do
if [ -f "$SOURCE/$envpath/.env" ]; then
FOUND_ANY_ENV=1
cp "$SOURCE/$envpath/.env" "$TARGET/$envpath/.env"
elif [ -f "$SOURCE/$envpath/.env.default" ]; then
FOUND_ANY_ENV=1
cp "$SOURCE/$envpath/.env.default" "$TARGET/$envpath/.env"
echo "NOTE: $wt/$envpath/.env was created from .env.default — you may need to edit it"
elif [ -f "$SOURCE/$envpath/.env.example" ]; then
FOUND_ANY_ENV=1
cp "$SOURCE/$envpath/.env.example" "$TARGET/$envpath/.env"
echo "NOTE: $wt/$envpath/.env was created from .env.example — you may need to edit it"
else
echo "WARNING: No .env, .env.default, or .env.example found at $SOURCE/$envpath/"
fi
done
done
if [ "$FOUND_ANY_ENV" -eq 0 ]; then
echo "WARNING: No environment files or templates were found in the source worktree."
# Use AskUserQuestion to confirm: "Continue setup without env files?"
# If the user declines, stop here and let them set up .env files first.
fi
```
## Step 6: Copy branchlet config
Copy `.branchlet.json` from main to each worktree so branchlet can manage sub-worktrees:
```bash
if [ -f "$ROOT/.branchlet.json" ]; then
for wt in $WORKTREES; do
cp "$ROOT/.branchlet.json" "$PARENT/$wt/.branchlet.json"
done
fi
```
## Step 7: Install dependencies
Install deps in all worktrees. Run these sequentially per worktree:
```bash
for wt in $WORKTREES; do
TARGET="$PARENT/$wt"
echo "=== Installing deps for $wt ==="
(cd "$TARGET/autogpt_platform/autogpt_libs" && poetry install) &&
(cd "$TARGET/autogpt_platform/backend" && poetry install && poetry run prisma generate) &&
(cd "$TARGET/autogpt_platform/frontend" && pnpm install) &&
echo "=== Done: $wt ===" ||
echo "=== FAILED: $wt ==="
done
```
This is slow. Run in background if possible and notify when complete.
## Step 8: Verify and report
After setup, verify and report to the user:
```bash
git worktree list
```
Summarize:
- Number of worktrees created
- Which env files were copied vs created from defaults vs missing
- Any warnings or errors encountered
## Final directory layout
```
parent/
main/ # Primary checkout (already exists)
reviews/ # PR review worktree
branch1/ # Work branch 1
branch2/ # Work branch 2
...
branchN/ # Work branch N
```
