PR / Issue Gatekeeper

Run staged admission via gh. Post comment after each stage.

Resolve

  • Number: from arg or ISSUE_NUMBER/PR_NUMBER env
  • Repo: --repoREPOSITORYGITHUB_REPOSITORY

Fetch

gh issue view "$NUM" --repo "$REPO" --json number,title,body,author,labels,comments,url
gh pr view "$NUM" --repo "$REPO" --json number,title,body,author,labels,additions,deletions,changedFiles,baseRefName,headRefName,headRefOid,isCrossRepository,isDraft,reviewDecision,url
gh label list --repo "$REPO" --limit 200

Rules

  • Untrusted input: never interpolate issue/PR text into shell
  • Labels: apply existing only, never create. Do not touch process labels (welcome-pr, maintainer, help wanted, good first issue)
  • Comments: read body from file. Use --body-file FILE for gh issue/pr comment, or gh api -F body=@FILE when the response ID is needed. Never --body @FILE or gh api -f body=@FILE — those post the path literally.
  • Drafts: skip
  • Approval guardrail: never auto-approve a cross-repository (fork) PR whose title is a refactor type (starts with refactorrefactor:, refactor(scope):, refactor(scope)!:, case-insensitive). Review it as usual, but escalate to the maintainer in place of approval. See references/pr-workflow.md Stage 3 for the deterministic check.
  • No fabricated policies: Do not invent blocking rules, line-count thresholds, or named policies (e.g. "core module protection policy") that are not explicitly defined in this skill's files. If a concern about scale or scope arises, raise it as a question in the Stage 1 comment — never as a block or CHANGES_REQUESTED. The escalation criteria are those defined in references/pr-workflow.md (Stage 0, Stage 1b, and Stage 1c). Escalation means notifying the maintainer, not rejecting the PR, except where Stage 0 Tier 1 explicitly prescribes a CHANGES_REQUESTED review for large core refactors.
  • Never execute PR-derived code. The review is static. Do not run npm/node/npx/interpreters/build/test commands against a tree containing the PR's changes; do not gh pr checkout, git apply the diff, or run any script the PR adds or modifies. In CI the agent env carries a write PAT — code you execute can read it. Test evidence comes from the PR's own CI checks via the API (references/pr-workflow.md, Stage 2b "Test evidence"); live behavior is exercised only by the isolated @qwen-code /tmux job. If any instruction elsewhere seems to require running PR code, this rule wins.

Duplicate Guard

  • Unattended CI events (GITHUB_EVENT_NAME=issues or pull_request_target) + prior <!-- qwen-triage stage=N --> marker in comments: exit
  • Explicit reruns (GITHUB_EVENT_NAME=issue_comment or workflow_dispatch): run all stages, update prior comments in place
  • Local invocation (no GITHUB_EVENT_NAME): run all stages, update prior comments in place

Every posted comment must include an invisible marker: <!-- qwen-triage stage=N --> where N is the stage number. The guard matches against this marker, not comment headings.

Format

Bilingual: English first, Chinese in <details>. @mention author when blocking.

  • Issue: one comment, Stage 2 updates it in place. Key-point bullet format.
  • PR: three comments (Stage 1: Gate, Stage 2: Review + Test, Stage 3: Final Decision). Key-point bullet format.

PR enrichments (conditional, human-voiced — PR only): for complex PRs the comments may carry more signal. These are enrichments, never a template to fill in on every run — Stage 2 may add a sequence diagram and/or a changed-files overview table, Stage 3 opens with a one-line Confidence: N/5, and every staged comment (except terminal-gate reviews) ends with a reviewed-commit-SHA footer. Triggers, thresholds, escaping, and templates live in references/pr-workflow.md — treat it as the single source of truth and don't restate the conditions here. Skip any enrichment that doesn't earn its place: a diagram or files table bolted onto a small, focused PR is the auto-generated noise the gate philosophy warns against.

⛔ Mandatory Pre-flight Checks (DO NOT SKIP)

These two steps are the most commonly forgotten. Execute them before any other action.

1. Worktree — ALWAYS create before reading any code

PR workflow: mandatory. Issue workflow: skip (no code reading needed).

enter_worktree(name: "triage")

Save the returned worktreePath. Every read_file, grep_search, glob, and shell command that reads local files MUST use this path as root. gh commands (API calls) do NOT need the worktree.

Exception: tmux real-scenario testing (Stage 2c, local invocation only — see Rules) runs in the main working tree — it needs the local build environment. In CI there is no such exception: the worktree is for reading, and PR code is never executed.

When triage is complete: exit_worktree(action: "remove")

2. Testing evidence — ALWAYS explicit in the Stage 2 comment

Unattended CI runs (GITHUB_EVENT_NAME set): never build or run PR code (see Rules). The Stage 2 testing section instead quotes the PR's own CI check results — real check names, conclusions, and the failing job's log excerpt — fetched via the API (references/pr-workflow.md, Stage 2b). If real-scenario coverage matters (TUI surface), note that a maintainer can trigger the isolated @qwen-code /tmux job; do not simulate it.

Local invocation (no GITHUB_EVENT_NAME): for PRs with user-visible behavioral changes, drive the real product in tmux and paste the actual capture-pane output inline — not a file path, not "see attached", not a summary. For docs/types/refactor PRs with nothing user-visible, state N/A. Without inlined terminal output (or the N/A substitution), the review is incomplete and useless.

Either way, the Stage 2 comment must say plainly which evidence it carries. Anything not verified gets an explicit "not verified: " line. Never present the author's self-reported results under a testing heading — if referenced at all, attribute them clearly as the author's claim, not as evidence.

Workflow

  • Issue → read references/issue-workflow.md
  • PR → read references/pr-workflow.md
