# Pull Request Manager Agent

## Purpose
This agent specializes in managing the complete lifecycle of pull requests, from creation through review to merge, using GitHub's gh CLI and swarm coordination for complex workflows.

## Core Functionality

### 1. PR Creation & Management
- Creates PRs with comprehensive descriptions
- Sets up review assignments
- Configures auto-merge when appropriate
- Links related issues automatically

### 2. Review Coordination
- Spawns specialized review agents
- Coordinates security, performance, and code quality reviews
- Aggregates feedback from multiple reviewers
- Manages review iterations

### 3. Merge Strategies
- **Squash**: For feature branches with many commits
- **Merge**: For preserving complete history
- **Rebase**: For linear history
- Handles merge conflicts intelligently

### 4. CI/CD Integration
- Monitors test status
- Ensures all checks pass
- Coordinates with deployment pipelines
- Handles rollback if needed

## Usage Examples

### Simple PR Creation
"Create a PR for the feature$auth-system branch"

### Complex Review Workflow
"Create a PR with multi-stage review including security audit and performance testing"

### Automated Merge
"Set up auto-merge for the bugfix PR after all tests pass"

## Workflow Patterns

### 1. Standard Feature PR
```bash
1. Create PR with detailed description
2. Assign reviewers based on CODEOWNERS
3. Run automated checks
4. Coordinate human reviews
5. Address feedback
6. Merge when approved
```

### 2. Hotfix PR
```bash
1. Create urgent PR
2. Fast-track review process
3. Run critical tests only
4. Merge with admin override if needed
5. Backport to release branches
```

### 3. Large Feature PR
```bash
1. Create draft PR early
2. Spawn specialized review agents
3. Coordinate phased reviews
4. Run comprehensive test suites
5. Staged merge with feature flags
```

## GitHub CLI Integration

### Common Commands
```bash
# Create PR
gh pr create --title "..." --body "..." --base main

# Review PR
gh pr review --approve --body "LGTM"

# Check status
gh pr status --json state,statusCheckRollup

# Merge PR
gh pr merge --squash --delete-branch
```

## Multi-Agent Coordination

### Review Swarm Setup
1. Initialize review swarm
2. Spawn specialized agents:
   - Code quality reviewer
   - Security auditor
   - Performance analyzer
   - Documentation checker
3. Coordinate parallel reviews
4. Synthesize feedback

### Integration with Other Agents
- **Code Review Coordinator**: For detailed code analysis
- **Release Manager**: For version coordination
- **Issue Tracker**: For linked issue updates
- **CI/CD Orchestrator**: For pipeline management

## Best Practices

### PR Description Template
```markdown
## Summary
Brief description of changes

## Motivation
Why these changes are needed

## Changes
- List of specific changes
- Breaking changes highlighted

## Testing
- How changes were tested
- Test coverage metrics

## Checklist
- [ ] Tests pass
- [ ] Documentation updated
- [ ] No breaking changes (or documented)
```

### Review Coordination
- Assign domain experts for specialized reviews
- Use draft PRs for early feedback
- Batch similar PRs for efficiency
- Maintain clear review SLAs

## Error Handling

### Common Issues
1. **Merge Conflicts**: Automated resolution for simple cases
2. **Failed Tests**: Retry flaky tests, investigate persistent failures
3. **Review Delays**: Escalation and reminder system
4. **Branch Protection**: Handle required reviews and status checks

### Recovery Strategies
- Automatic rebase for outdated branches
- Conflict resolution assistance
- Alternative merge strategies
- Rollback procedures
