x-as-pr

# Dev As PR

Start a development workflow by creating a branch and draft PR before implementation — or create a PR from existing work on the current branch.

## !! CRITICAL — PR TARGET BRANCH RULE !!

**The new PR's base MUST be the current (invocation) branch, NOT the repository's default branch.**

As the very first action in this skill, record the current branch:

```bash
INVOCATION_BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
```

Every `gh pr create` call in this skill must pass `--base "$INVOCATION_BRANCH"` (or a user-specified base) — NEVER omit `--base`, because `gh pr create` defaults to the repo's default branch (usually `main`), which is almost always wrong here.

**Concrete example (this is the bug this rule prevents):**

```
Current branch: topic/foo-bar
User runs:      /x-as-pr do blah blah...
CORRECT:        new branch topic/moo-mew → PR targets topic/foo-bar
WRONG:          new branch topic/moo-mew → PR targets main   ← DO NOT DO THIS
```

This applies regardless of:

- Whether the current branch already has a PR
- Whether the current branch has commits ahead of main
- Whether `main` "seems more natural" as the base
- Whether the current branch looks like a work-in-progress topic

If the user wants the PR to target a different branch, they pass it explicitly via `base:<name>` or as a trailing arg. If not specified, the answer is ALWAYS `$INVOCATION_BRANCH`.

(See Step 3 "Determine Target (Base) Branch" for the full mechanism, and the Scenarios table under "Default Behavior" for every case.)

## Auto-Pilot Behavior (Always On)

This skill orchestrates long-running autonomous work (branch setup, implementation, review, PR management). When invoked, behave as if Auto Mode is active — regardless of session mode:

1. **Execute immediately** — start implementing right away. Make reasonable assumptions and proceed on low-risk work.
2. **Minimize interruptions** — prefer making reasonable assumptions over asking questions for routine decisions.
3. **Prefer action over planning** — do not enter plan mode unless the user explicitly asks. When in doubt, start coding.
4. **Expect course corrections** — treat mid-run user input as normal corrections, not failures.
5. **Do not take overly destructive actions** — deleting data, force-pushing, or modifying shared/production systems still needs explicit confirmation.
6. **Avoid data exfiltration** — do not post to external platforms or share secrets unless the user has authorized that specific destination.

## Input Parsing

Parse `$ARGUMENTS` to extract:

- **`--make-issue` or `--issue` flag**: If present, create a GitHub issue before starting (see "Issue Creation Mode" below)
- **`-s` or `--stay` flag**: If present, stay on the current branch instead of creating a new one (see "Stay Mode" below). **Opt-in only — never auto-detected.**
- **`-l` or `--review-loop` flag**: If present, replace the final review step with `/review-loop 5` instead of `/deep-review` (see "Post-Implementation: Automatic Deep Review" below)
- **`-v` or `--verify-ui` flag**: If present, run `/verify-ui` after review fixes to verify frontend changes visually (see "Post-Implementation: Verify UI" below)
- **`-nor` or `--no-review` flag**: Skip the post-implementation review entirely (no `/deep-review`, no `/review-loop`, no fix-delegation Agent). Just do the implementation, then proceed straight to verify-ui (if `-v` was passed), push, CI watch, and PR revision. See "No Review Mode" below
- **`-ri` or `--raise-issues` flag**: Explicitly enable raising GitHub issues for unrelated problems found during coding or reviewing (bugs, code smells, improvement possibilities). **This is the default** — pass for clarity, but the behavior is on unless `-nori` is passed. See "Raising Issues for Unrelated Findings" below
- **`-nori` or `--no-raise-issues` flag**: Suppress raising GitHub issues for unrelated problems found during coding or reviewing. With `-l`, also forwarded to the inner `/review-loop` so its deferred needs-consideration findings stay terminal-only. Replaces the older `--noi` / `--noissue` spellings. See "Raising Issues for Unrelated Findings" below
- **Reviewer model flags** (`-op` / `--opus`, `-so` / `--sonnet`, `-haiku` / `--haiku`): Claude model used by the Step "Automatic Deep Review" reviewer (`/deep-review` or `/review-loop`). Pick at most one. **Default when no reviewer flag is passed at all: `-co` — `/codex-review` (codex is the house default reviewer; `/deep-review` with no flags delegates to it).** See "Reviewer Mode (Claude model)" below.
- **`-co` or `--codex` flag**: Add codex-based reviewer / writer / research. See "Codex Mode" below. Combines with every other reviewer flag — multiple flags means run all selected reviewers. **Silent Opus fallback** — every codex-backed step (`/codex-review`, `/codex-2nd`, `/codex-research`, `/codex-writer`) silently falls back to a subagent at `model: opus` if codex is rate-limited or unavailable. The `-co` flag means "the better reviewer/tool"; Opus is the Claude-side stand-in when codex is down.
- **`-gco` or `--github-copilot` flag**: Add GitHub Copilot CLI (GPT-5.4) reviewer / 2nd opinion / research. See "GitHub Copilot Mode" below. Combines with every other reviewer flag.
- **Team-member model flags** (`-t-op` / `--team-opus`, `-t-so` / `--team-sonnet`): Override the model used by the fix-delegation Agent spawned after review (and any other subagents spawned during implementation). Pick at most one. **Default: `opus`.** No `-t-haiku` — haiku is too small for fix-delegation work and not offered as a session-wide override. See "Team Member Model Override" below.
- **`-a` or `--auto` flag**: Autonomy/chain flag, usually arriving forwarded from `/x` or `/big-plan -a`. `/x-as-pr` is already fully autonomous (Auto-Pilot is always on) and single-topic (no waves to chain), so `-a` adds no extra behavior here — accept it for chain-compatibility. It does **NOT** merge the PR; merging is `-m`'s job
- **`-m` or `--merge` flag**: If present, automatically run `/pr-complete -c -w` after the workflow completes — merge the PR into its base branch, close the linked issue, and watch post-merge CI on the base branch (fixing it if red). See "Merge Mode" below
- **`-f`, `-fix`, or `--auto-fix` flag**: **Default — on unless `-nf` is passed.** After the main work, auto-fix the safe subset of `agent-found` issues raised this session, before final cleanup. Pass explicitly for clarity; behavior is identical to the default. Requires `-ri` (the default) and is a **no-op under `-nori`** (nothing was raised to fix). See "Auto-Fixing Raised Findings (`-f` / `--auto-fix`)" below. Fix PRs follow `-m`'s auto-merge semantics
- **`-nf` or `--no-fix` flag**: Skip the auto-fix step — raised `agent-found` issues stay open for the user to triage. Use for careful / manual sessions
- **GitHub issue**: URL (`https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123`) or number (`123` or `#123`)
- **Branch name**: Explicit branch name if provided (look for words like `branch:` or a slash-containing name like `topic/foo`)
- **Base branch**: Explicit base branch if provided (look for words like `base:` or `from:`)
- **Implementation instructions**: Any remaining text describing what to implement

**When a GitHub issue URL or number is provided, treat it as an implementation request** — read the issue and implement what it describes. The issue title/body ARE the implementation instructions.

If ambiguous, ask the user to clarify.

## Default Behavior: ALWAYS Create a New Branch

**Unless `--stay` / `-s` is explicitly passed by the user, this skill ALWAYS creates a new branch from the current (invocation) branch** and opens a new PR targeting the current branch. This is the default and only behavior. It applies regardless of:

- Whether the current branch has an existing PR
- Whether the current branch has uncommitted or unpushed commits
- Whether there is existing work in progress
- Whether "staying" would seem logical given the current branch state

**CRITICAL — never auto-detect stay behavior.** Do NOT decide to commit on the current branch just because:

- The current branch already has a PR (the expected behavior is to create a nested PR-on-PR, not to add to the existing PR)
- The current branch has commits ahead of main (these are someone else's topic — make a new sub-branch from it)
- It "makes sense" or "seems more efficient" to stay

**If the user wants stay behavior, they MUST type `--stay` or `-s` explicitly.** There is no inference from context.

### Scenarios

| Current branch | User invocation | Result |
|----------------|----------------|--------|
| `main` | `/x-as-pr foo` | New branch `topic/foo` → PR targets `main` |
| `topic/foo` (has PR → main) | `/x-as-pr bar` | New branch `topic/bar` → nested PR targets `topic/foo` |
| `topic/foo` (has PR → main) | `/x-as-pr -s bar` | Stay on `topic/foo`, commit there, extend existing PR |
| `topic/foo` (has commits, no PR) | `/x-as-pr bar` | New branch `topic/bar` → PR targets `topic/foo` |
| `topic/foo` (has commits, no PR) | `/x-as-pr -s` | Stay on `topic/foo`, create PR from current work |

---

## Stay Mode (`-s` / `--stay`)

When `-s` or `--stay` is **explicitly passed by the user**, stay on the current branch instead of creating a new one. This avoids deep nesting when running `/x-as-pr` multiple times in sequence, and is the way to create a PR from work already committed on the current branch.

**Typical scenarios:**

1. **Continuing work** — first round: `/x-as-pr` creates `topic/foo-impl` → `main`, PR merged. Need more tweaks, still on `topic/foo-impl` → run `/x-as-pr -s` to stay and extend.
2. **Existing committed work** — you've been coding on `topic/bar` but forgot to start via `/x-as-pr`. Run `/x-as-pr -s` to create a PR from the existing commits.

**How it works:**

1. The current branch IS the working branch — no new branch, no empty commit
2. Determine `TARGET_BRANCH` (for PR base):
- Check if a PR already exists for this branch: `gh pr view --json baseRefName -q '.baseRefName'`
- If yes, reuse that PR (record its number) — no new PR needed
- If no PR exists, use the repository's default branch as `TARGET_BRANCH` and create a new draft PR
3. If there are uncommitted changes, commit them with a descriptive message (no empty commits)
4. If implementation instructions are provided, start implementation (commit locally, no push)
5. All post-implementation steps (deep review, push, CI watch, PR revision) work the same

---

## Issue Creation Mode (`--make-issue` / `--issue`)

When `--make-issue` or `--issue` is present in `$ARGUMENTS`:

### Step 1: Understand the Task

Read the remaining arguments and conversation context to understand what the user wants to implement.

If the description is unclear, ask the user to clarify before creating the issue.

### Step 2: Create GitHub Issue

The issue serves as a **spec tracker** — it should clearly communicate what is being implemented and why. Write a concise but informative summary: enough for someone unfamiliar with the task to understand the scope. Not too detailed (that's for the PR), not too brief (that's useless).

```bash
gh issue create \
  --title "<concise description of what's being done>" \
  --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary

<2-4 sentences explaining what this implementation does and why. What problem does it solve? What's the approach?>

## Plan
- <step-by-step plan of what will be done>

## Notes
- Created via `/x-as-pr --make-issue`
EOF
)"
```

Record the created issue number as `ISSUE_NUM`. From here, proceed with the normal workflow using this issue.

### Step 3: If User Clarifies

If the user provides additional clarification after the issue is created, update the issue body:

```bash
gh issue edit <ISSUE_NUM> --body "<updated body with clarifications>"
```

---

## TODO Checklist on GitHub Issue

When a GitHub issue is linked (either passed as argument or created via `--make-issue`), **update the issue body** to serve as a spec tracker. This prevents losing track of steps and clearly communicates the implementation scope.

### Adding Spec and TODO

When creating an issue (`--make-issue`) or linking an existing one, ensure the issue body contains (use `gh issue edit` to update if needed):

1. A **Summary** section — 2-4 sentences explaining what this implementation does and why. Enough for someone unfamiliar to understand the scope. Not too detailed (that's for the PR), not too brief (that's useless).
2. A **TODO checklist** of workflow steps:

```markdown
### TODO
- [ ] Create branch and draft PR
- [ ] Implementation
- [ ] Deep review (`/deep-review`)
- [ ] Push changes to remote
- [ ] CI watch (if CI configured)
- [ ] PR revision (`/pr-revise`)
```

### After Each Step Completes

1. **Check off the completed step** — use `gh issue edit` to update `- [ ]` to `- [x]`
2. **Comment** on the issue with a brief milestone report
3. **Re-read the issue** to confirm what comes next:

```bash
gh issue view <ISSUE_NUM>
```

This re-read step is **critical** — it prevents losing track of remaining steps during long workflows with many interactions. Always check the TODO list to determine "What's next?" before proceeding.

## Progress Logging via Issue Comments

When a GitHub issue is linked (either passed as argument or created via `--make-issue`), **comment on the issue at key milestones** to create a progress log. Use the issue number stored as `ISSUE_NUM`.

### When to Comment

| Milestone | Comment content |
|-----------|----------------|
| PR created | "Draft PR created: `<PR_URL>`" |
| Implementation started | "Starting implementation. Plan: `<brief plan>`" |
| Significant progress | "Progress: `<what was done so far>`" |
| Plan changed | "Plan update: `<what changed and why>`" |
| Problem encountered | "Issue encountered: `<description of problem and how it was resolved or workaround>`" |
| Implementation complete | "Implementation complete. Changes: `<summary of what was done>`" |

### How to Comment

```bash
gh issue comment <ISSUE_NUM> --body "<comment>"
```

### Guidelines

- Keep comments concise but informative
- Always mention if the original plan was changed and why
- Log problems even if they were resolved — this creates useful history
- Do NOT comment for trivial steps (e.g., "fetching origin", "checking out branch")

---

## PR Body Reference Header

When creating any PR (`gh pr create`), check for parent references and prepend a header to the PR body. This identifies what the PR belongs to.

**Determine references:**

1. **Parent issue**: Use `ISSUE_NUM` if set (from linked issue or `--make-issue`)
2. **Parent PR**: Check if `TARGET_BRANCH` has an open PR:

   ```bash
   PARENT_PR_NUM=$(gh pr list --head "$TARGET_BRANCH" --json number -q '.[0].number' 2>/dev/null)
   ```

**If either exists**, prepend this header to the very start of the PR body (before `## Summary`):

```markdown
- issues
    - <REPO_URL>/issues/<ISSUE_NUM>
- parent PR
    - <REPO_URL>/pull/<PARENT_PR_NUM>

---

```

- Use `gh repo view --json url -q '.url'` to get `REPO_URL`
- Only include sections that have values — omit `- issues` if no issue, omit `- parent PR` if no parent PR
- If neither exists, omit the header entirely
- **When updating the PR body later** (e.g., via `/pr-revise`), always preserve the reference header at the top — do not remove or replace it

---

## Codex 2nd Opinion (Planning Phase)

Before starting implementation, when the abstract concept of the task is understood:

1. **Form an initial plan** — understand what needs to be done, which files are involved, and the approach
2. **Invoke `/codex-2nd`** — send the plan to codex for a second opinion
3. **Review feedback** — if codex returns useful, actionable feedback, update the plan accordingly
4. **Optionally re-run** — if the plan changed significantly, invoke `/codex-2nd` again with the updated plan (up to 3 iterations total)
5. **Finalize and proceed** — once the plan is stable, begin implementation

This step is advisory. If codex is unresponsive or provides no useful feedback, proceed with the original plan.

---

## Two flag families

Reviewer flags and team-member flags are orthogonal.

- **Reviewer flags** (`-op` / `-so` / `-haiku` / `-co` / `-gco`) — choose which reviewer(s) run at the post-implementation review step and for any `/light-review` self-check. Multiple flags combine.
- **Team-member flags** (`-t-op` / `-t-so`) — override the model for the fix-delegation Agent (and any other subagents spawned during implementation). Session-wide.

## Reviewer Mode (Claude model: `-op` / `-so` / `-haiku`)

Pick at most one Claude reviewer model flag (or none). When passed (or left at default), it governs:

- The Claude model used by `/deep-review` / `/review-loop` at the post-implementation review step.
- The Claude model used by any Claude-side 2nd opinion during planning.

Multiple Claude model flags → last one wins (documented, not an error).

**Default when NO reviewer flag is passed at all**: `-co` — `/codex-review` (codex is the house default reviewer; `/deep-review` invoked with no flags delegates to it). Claude model flags opt IN to the Claude reviewer workflow.

Claude model flags **combine** with `-co` / `-gco` — passing `-op -gco` means run `/deep-review` at Opus AND `/gco-review`. See "Combined Reviewer Mode" in the backend mode sections below.

## Team Member Model Override (`-t-op` / `-t-so`)

Pick at most one. **Default: `opus`.**

When passed (or left at default), it governs:

- The `model:` field of the fresh **fix-delegation Agent** spawned after review (see "Delegating Review Fixes to a Fresh Agent" below).
- Any other subagents spawned during implementation.

There is intentionally no `-t-haiku`. Haiku is too small for fix-delegation work — if you genuinely need a haiku subagent, spawn it directly with explicit `model: "haiku"`.

Team-member flags do NOT affect reviewers. They do NOT get forwarded to `/deep-review` / `/review-loop` — those use the reviewer flags instead.

---

## Codex Mode (`-co` / `--codex`)

When `-co` or `--codex` is passed, the following substitutions apply throughout the entire workflow:

| Default tool | Codex replacement | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| `/deep-review` | `/codex-review` | Post-implementation code review |
| `/review-loop N` | `/codex-review` (run once) | Review loop mode review step |
| Agent tool (web search, research) | `/codex-research` | Any web search or codebase research during planning/implementation |
| Agent tool (doc writing) | `/codex-writer` | Writing documentation, README, or other text content |

**How it affects the workflow:**

- **Post-Implementation Review**: Instead of `/deep-review` or `/review-loop`, invoke `/codex-review`. If `-l`/`--review-loop` is also passed, still invoke `/codex-review` once (not multiple rounds — codex review is already thorough).
- **Research during planning/implementation**: When you need to research libraries, APIs, or best practices (web search or codebase exploration), prefer `/codex-research` over the Agent tool or WebSearch.
- **Documentation writing**: When writing README content, doc comments, or other prose during implementation, prefer `/codex-writer` over writing directly.

**Silent Opus fallback** — every codex-backed skill above silently falls back to a subagent at `model: opus` when codex is rate-limited or unavailable (`/codex-review` → 2 `code-reviewer` subagents at Opus; `/codex-2nd` → general-purpose Opus; `/codex-research` → `researcher` at Opus; `/codex-writer` → `markdown-writer` at Opus). No special handling needed at this level — the fallback is invisible to this skill. The `-co` flag means "the better reviewer/tool," and Opus is the Claude-side stand-in when codex is down.

All other workflow steps (branch creation, PR, CI watch, etc.) remain unchanged.

---

## GitHub Copilot Mode (`-gco` / `--github-copilot`)

When `-gco` or `--github-copilot` is passed, the following substitutions apply throughout the entire workflow:

| Default tool | GCO replacement | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| `/deep-review` | `/gco-review` | Post-implementation code review |
| `/review-loop N` | `/gco-review` (run once) | Review loop mode review step |
| `/codex-2nd` (planning phase) | `/gco-2nd` | Second opinion on plans |
| Agent tool (web search, research) | `/gco-research` | Any web search or codebase research during planning/implementation |

**How it affects the workflow:**

- **Post-Implementation Review**: Instead of `/deep-review` or `/review-loop`, invoke `/gco-review`. If `-l`/`--review-loop` is also passed, still invoke `/gco-review` once (not multiple rounds). `/gco-review` silently falls back to Claude Code reviewers if Copilot is rate-limited — no special handling needed here.
- **Second Opinion (planning phase)**: Instead of `/codex-2nd`, invoke `/gco-2nd`. If Copilot is rate-limited, `/gco-2nd` silently skips.
- **Research during planning/implementation**: When you need to research libraries, APIs, or best practices (web search or codebase exploration), prefer `/gco-research` over the Agent tool or WebSearch.

All other workflow steps (branch creation, PR, CI watch, etc.) remain unchanged.

---

## Combined Reviewer Mode (multiple reviewer flags)

All reviewer flags — Claude model (`-op` / `-so` / `-haiku`) and non-Claude backend (`-co` / `-gco`) — combine freely. When the user passes more than one (e.g. `-op -gco`, `-co -gco`, `-so -co -gco`), run **all** selected reviewers.

**Rules:**

- **Post-Implementation Review**: invoke every selected reviewer sequentially on the same branch. Collect findings from every run into a single combined fix issue before delegating fixes. Do not stop after the first reviewer.
- **2nd opinions during planning**: when multiple backend flags are active, invoke every matching `*-2nd` command in sequence and read all feedback before finalizing the plan.
- **Default reviewer when no flag at all**: `/codex-review` (`-co` is the house default). A single backend flag alone replaces the default (does not also run Claude reviewers). To run BOTH a Claude reviewer AND a backend reviewer, pass a Claude model flag explicitly alongside the backend flag.

This mirrors `/x-wt-teams`'s Combined Reviewer Mode — see `$HOME/.claude/skills/x-wt-teams/references/reviewer-modes.md` for the full substitution tables.

---

## Default Workflow (create new branch)

This is the only default workflow. (See "Stay Mode" above for the opt-in `--stay` / `-s` variant.)

### Step 1: Read Issue (if specified)

```bash
# If GitHub URL
gh issue view <issue-num> --repo <owner/repo>

# If issue number
gh issue view <issue-num>
```

Use the issue title and body as context for branch naming and implementation. **The issue content IS the implementation request** — implement what the issue describes.

Record the issue number as `ISSUE_NUM` for progress logging.

#### Claim the Issue (Prevent Session Conflicts)

**Immediately after reading a pre-existing issue passed by the user**, post a claim comment so other Claude Code sessions don't start parallel work on the same topic:

```bash
gh issue comment "$ISSUE_NUM" --body "🤖 Starting work on this issue in a Claude Code session (\`/x-as-pr\`). To avoid conflicts, please check the latest comments before starting another session on this issue."
```

**When to post:**

- Any pre-existing issue passed by the user as argument (issue URL or number)
- This applies to **all pre-existing issues including epic issues** — always claim before starting

**When to skip:**

- `--make-issue` / `--issue` was used (the issue was just created by this session — no conflict risk)
- No issue is linked

This claim happens **before** any branch creation or implementation work. Its sole purpose is to mark the issue as "in progress" so concurrent sessions can see someone is already on it.

### Step 2: Determine Branch Name

If user specified a branch name, use it directly.

Otherwise, derive `{SLUG}` (max 40 chars, lowercase, hyphens) from the issue title or implementation description, then:

| Condition | Branch name pattern |
|-----------|-------------------|
| Has issue | `issue-#<ISSUE_NO>/<SLUG>` |
| Documentation updates | `doc/<SLUG>` |
| Other | `topic/<SLUG>` |

### Step 3: Determine Target (Base) Branch

- If user specified a base branch, use it
- Otherwise, use `INVOCATION_BRANCH` (the branch that was checked out when the command was invoked)

Record this as `TARGET_BRANCH`.

**Example**: If invoked on `topic/foobar`, the new branch targets `topic/foobar` by default, not the repository's default branch.

### Step 4: Create Branch and Draft PR

```bash
# Create and switch to new branch from TARGET_BRANCH
git checkout -b <BRANCH_NAME> <TARGET_BRANCH>

# Create empty start commit — [skip ci] is GitHub's native skip instruction: the commit changes
# nothing, so CI on it is guaranteed-green waste; the real commits that follow trigger CI normally
git commit --allow-empty -m "= start <SLUG> dev = [skip ci]"

# Push to remote (only the initial empty commit — this is the only push until implementation is complete)
git push -u origin <BRANCH_NAME>

# Create draft PR against TARGET_BRANCH
# !! PR TARGET CHECK !! — <TARGET_BRANCH> MUST be INVOCATION_BRANCH (recorded at the start),
# not the repo default branch. If you about to pass `--base main` on a session that was
# invoked from `topic/foo`, STOP — that is the bug the top-of-file rule prohibits.
gh pr create \
  --base <TARGET_BRANCH> \
  --title "<PR_TITLE>" \
  --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
<brief description based on issue or instructions>

## Changes
- (in progress)

## Test Plan
- (to be determined)
EOF
)" \
  --draft
```

The PR title should be descriptive based on the issue or instructions provided.

### Step 5: Start Implementation (Push-Forbid Mode)

**IMPORTANT: DO NOT push during implementation.** All commits stay local until the post-implementation phase. This saves CI resources by avoiding CI runs on every intermediate commit. Only push once at the end after deep review is complete.

If the user provided implementation instructions (either via issue or direct text), begin the implementation work immediately. Commit frequently but do NOT push.

If no instructions were provided, report the PR URL and wait for further direction.

---

## Examples

### Default: with issue number

```
/x-as-pr 42
-> Fetch, on main
-> Read issue #42 "Add dark mode support"
-> Branch: issue-#42/add-dark-mode-support
-> Base: main
-> Empty commit, push, draft PR
-> Start implementing based on issue
```

### Default: with explicit branch and base

```
/x-as-pr branch:feature/new-auth base:develop
-> Fetch, on develop
-> Branch: feature/new-auth
-> Base: develop
-> Empty commit, push, draft PR
```

### Default: with instructions only

```
/x-as-pr add pagination to the user list page
-> Fetch, on main
-> Branch: topic/add-pagination-user-list
-> Base: main
-> Empty commit, push, draft PR
-> Start implementing pagination
```

### Default: from a non-default branch (nested PR)

```
/x-as-pr add search to the sidebar
-> Fetch, on topic/foobar (even if it has its own PR)
-> Branch: topic/add-search-sidebar (new)
-> Base: topic/foobar (INVOCATION_BRANCH)
-> Empty commit, push, draft PR targeting topic/foobar (nested PR-on-PR)
-> Start implementing search
```

### Stay Mode: reuse current branch

```
/x-as-pr -s more tweaks to search
-> Fetch, on topic/add-search-sidebar (has existing PR → main)
-> Stay on current branch, reuse existing PR
-> Start implementing
```

### Stay Mode: create PR from already-committed work

```
/x-as-pr --stay
-> Fetch, on topic/add-search-feature with 3 commits ahead, no PR
-> Stay on current branch
-> Push branch, create draft PR targeting main with summary from actual commits
-> Report PR URL
```

### With issue URL (implementation request)

```
/x-as-pr https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/42
-> Fetch issue #42 "Add dark mode support"
-> Issue body describes what to implement → treat as implementation instructions
-> Branch: issue-#42/add-dark-mode-support, base: main
-> Empty commit, push, draft PR
-> Comment on issue #42: "Draft PR created: <URL>. Starting implementation."
-> Implement the issue
-> Comment on issue #42: "Implementation complete. Changes: ..."
```

### With --make-issue (create issue first)

```
/x-as-pr --make-issue add a search feature to the sidebar
-> Create GitHub issue "Add search feature to sidebar" with plan
-> Branch: issue-#99/add-search-sidebar, base: main
-> Empty commit, push, draft PR
-> Comment on issue #99: "Draft PR created: <URL>"
-> Implement, commenting on issue for progress
```

## Raising Issues for Unrelated Findings (Default Behavior)

During coding and reviewing, you may discover problems that are **unrelated to the original topic** — e.g., pre-existing bugs, code smells in adjacent files, outdated dependencies, inconsistencies, or improvement possibilities in code that was not part of the task. By default (`-ri` / `--raise-issues`, on unless `-nori` is passed), **always raise these as separate GitHub issues** with the `agent-found` label so they are tracked and not lost.

### When to Raise

- A reviewer flags a problem in code that was NOT modified by this PR
- You notice a bug or code quality issue in adjacent code while implementing
- A pre-existing test failure or lint warning is discovered
- An improvement possibility (refactor, cleanup, modernization) outside the task scope
- Any problem that is clearly outside the scope of the current task

### Ensure the `agent-found` label exists (run once per session before the first raise)

```bash
gh label create "agent-found" \
  --description "Raised automatically by a Claude Code agent during a /x-as-pr or /x-wt-teams workflow" \
  --color "ededed" 2>/dev/null || true
```

`gh label create` is non-destructive and exits with a non-zero status if the label already exists — the `|| true` swallows that, leaving a no-op when the label is present. No need to query first.

### How to Raise

```bash
gh issue create \
  --title "<concise description of the unrelated problem>" \
  --label "agent-found" \
  --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Found during

PR: <PR_URL> (or branch: <BRANCH_NAME>)

## Description

<what the problem is, where it is, and why it matters>

## Suggested fix

<brief suggestion if obvious, otherwise omit>

---
*Discovered during `/x-as-pr` workflow — not related to the original task.*
EOF
)"
```

**If the finding needs screenshots to make sense to the reader** (visual regression, layout bug, anything where a picture communicates more than prose), invoke `/gh-issue-with-imgs` instead of plain `gh issue create`. It uploads the screenshot files as release assets and embeds them in the issue body — `gh issue create` cannot attach images natively. After the skill returns the new issue URL, apply the label:

```
Skill tool: skill="gh-issue-with-imgs"
  args="<owner/repo> '<title>' --body '<body text above>' --img <path-to-screenshot> [--img <another>...]"
```

```bash
# Parse the issue number from the URL the skill printed, then add the label
gh issue edit <ISSUE_NUM_FROM_URL> --add-label "agent-found"
```

Use plain `gh issue create` when the finding is text-only (lint warnings, dead code, refactor suggestions).

### Suppressing with `--no-raise-issues` / `-nori`

When `-nori` or `--no-raise-issues` is passed, **do NOT raise GitHub issues for unrelated findings**. Simply ignore them and focus only on the original task. This is useful when you want a lean workflow without side-effect issues.

---

## No Review Mode (`-nor` / `--no-review`)

When `-nor` or `--no-review` is passed, **skip the entire post-implementation review step** — no `/deep-review`, no `/review-loop`, no fix-delegation Agent. Just do the implementation, then proceed straight to the remaining post-implementation steps (verify-ui if `-v` was passed, push, CI watch, PR revision, session report).

**Effect on the workflow:**

- "Post-Implementation: Automatic Deep Review" step → **skipped entirely**, including the fix-delegation Agent that would normally run after review findings
- `-l` / `--review-loop` → **ignored** (no review at all overrides "more rigorous review")
- `-v` / `--verify-ui` → still honored (verify-ui is independent of code review)
- All other post-implementation steps (push, CI watch, PR revision, session report, requirements verification, merge mode) → unchanged

**Use when:**

- You've already reviewed the changes yourself and want to skip the automated pass
- The task is throwaway / exploratory and a review pass would be wasted effort
- You want the fastest possible "implement → push → done" loop

This is an explicit opt-in — never assume `--no-review` from context.

---

## Post-Implementation: Automatic Deep Review

After implementation is complete (in either mode), evaluate whether to run an automatic code review:

### Trigger Conditions (ALL must be true)

1. `-nor` / `--no-review` was NOT passed (if it was, skip this entire section — see "No Review Mode" above)
2. Implementation was actually performed (not just PR creation with no instructions)
3. The implementation completed without needing to ask the user for confirmation or clarification (no `AskUserQuestion` was used during implementation)
4. No errors or failures occurred during implementation
5. Changes were committed successfully

### Action

When all conditions are met, run the review:

- **If `-l` / `--review-loop` was passed**: Invoke `/review-loop 5` instead of `/deep-review`, forwarding `-nori` if it was passed (`/review-loop` raises GitHub issues for deferred needs-consideration findings by default, matching this skill's `-ri`/`-nori` semantics). This runs 5 rounds of review-fix cycles for thorough quality improvement.
- **Otherwise (default)**: Invoke `/deep-review`, forwarding any reviewer flags and `-nori` if it was passed (under the default `-ri`, `/deep-review` raises `agent-found` issues for findings it doesn't fix — those feed the auto-fix step below). With no reviewer flags, `/deep-review` delegates to `/codex-review` — codex is the house default reviewer.

Tell the user: "Implementation went smoothly — running deep review on the changes." (or "running review-loop" if `--review-loop` is active).

#### Delegating Review Fixes to a Fresh Agent

After the review produces findings that require code changes, **delegate the fixes to a fresh Agent** instead of fixing in the current (token-heavy) context. This resets the token budget so the finalization phase stays lightweight.

**If the review found no actionable issues**, skip this — proceed directly to the next post-implementation step.

**If fixes are needed:**

1. **Create a fix issue** capturing all findings:

   ```bash
   FIX_ISSUE_URL=$(gh issue create \
     --title "Review fixes: <SLUG>" \
     --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
   ## Review Findings to Fix

   <all review findings — file paths, line numbers, what to fix and why>

   ## Context
   - Branch: `<BRANCH_NAME>`
   - PR: <PR_URL>

   ## Instructions
   Fix all issues listed above. Commit locally — do NOT push.
   EOF
   )")
   FIX_ISSUE_NUM=$(echo "$FIX_ISSUE_URL" | grep -o '[0-9]*$')
   ```

2. **Spawn a fresh Agent** to handle the fixes:

   ```
   Agent tool:
     description: "Fix review findings"
     model: <resolved team-member flag; default "opus">
     prompt: "You are on branch <BRANCH_NAME> in <repo-path>.
              Read GitHub issue #<FIX_ISSUE_NUM> with `gh issue view <FIX_ISSUE_NUM>`.
              Fix all issues described there.
              Commit fixes locally — do NOT push.
              After committing, run `/light-review <forwarded reviewer flags>` as a self-check
              and address any high-priority findings it flags.
              When done, close the issue with a summary of what was fixed."
     mode: "bypassPermissions"
   ```

- **Model**: set `model:` from the resolved team-member flag — `-t-op` → `"opus"`, `-t-so` → `"sonnet"`, default `"opus"`. This is the fix-delegation agent, not a reviewer — reviewer flags do NOT apply here.
- **Reviewer flags forwarded to `/light-review`**: pass whichever of `-op` / `-so` / `-haiku` / `-co` / `-gco` were on the original invocation. If none were passed, omit them — `/light-review` falls to its own default (`-co`).

3. **Verify** — after the agent returns, confirm fixes were committed (`git log --oneline -5`)
4. **Close the fix issue** if the agent didn't already
5. **Proceed** to the next post-implementation step (Verify UI or Push)

### Skip Conditions

Do NOT run deep review if:

- `-nor` / `--no-review` was passed (see "No Review Mode" above)
- No implementation was done (e.g., `--stay` used to just create a PR from existing commits with no additional instructions)
- The user was asked for confirmation or clarification during implementation
- Errors occurred that required user intervention
- The user explicitly asked to skip review

---

## Post-Implementation: Verify UI (optional)

**Only run this step if `-v` / `--verify-ui` was passed.**

After the review step (whether `/deep-review` or `/review-loop`) is complete and fixes are committed:

1. **Launch a verification target** — start the project's dev server, use a PR preview URL, or any other means to get the implementation running in a browser
2. **Invoke `/verify-ui`** to verify that frontend/CSS/layout changes were actually applied correctly
3. If `/verify-ui` reveals issues, fix them and commit locally (do NOT push yet)

This step ensures that visual/UI changes are not just code-correct but render correctly in the browser. Skip if the changes are purely backend or non-visual.

---

## Post-Implementation: Push Changes

After deep review is complete (or skipped), **push all commits to remote in one batch**. This is the first push since the initial empty commit — saving CI resources.

```bash
git push origin <BRANCH_NAME>
```

This single push triggers CI once with the complete implementation, rather than on every intermediate commit.

---

## Post-Implementation: CI Watch

**Only perform this step if the project has CI configured.** Check with `gh pr checks <PR_NUMBER>` — if no checks exist, skip to PR Revision.

Invoke `/watch-ci <PR_NUMBER>` to monitor CI. The `/watch-ci` skill handles polling, notifications, and failure investigation internally.

- **If CI passes**: Proceed to PR Revision
- **If CI fails**: Investigate and fix
  - Fetch failed run logs: `gh run view <run-id> --log-failed`
  - Fix the issue, commit, push, and re-watch CI
  - Only attempt CI fixes if the failure is related to the changes made
- **If CI still fails after a fix attempt**: Stop and ask the user for guidance

If the task is intentionally CI-breaking, skip CI verification and inform the user.

---

## Post-Implementation: PR Revision

After implementation, deep review, push, and CI watch are complete (or skipped), update the PR to reflect the full implementation.

### When to Run

Run `/pr-revise` when implementation was performed. The PR was created at the start with placeholder or initial content, and the implementation may have gone beyond the original scope.

### Action

Invoke `/pr-revise` to analyze the full diff and update the PR title and description to accurately reflect all changes made.

### Skip Conditions

Do NOT run PR revision if:

- No implementation was done (PR was just created with no instructions)
- The PR was just created with `--stay` from already-committed work and has an already-accurate description (the body was derived from actual commits/diff)

---

## Post-Implementation: Session Report

After all post-implementation steps are complete, generate a structured session report. This report serves two purposes: (1) a log for future Claude Code sessions to reference via `/logrefer`, and (2) a GitHub issue comment for human visibility.

### Report Content

Write a markdown report summarizing:

- What was implemented (feature/fix description)
- Key decisions made during implementation
- Files changed (summary, not full list)
- Review findings and fixes applied (if `/deep-review` was run)
- CI status (pass/fail/skipped)
- PR URL and status

### Save to Log Directory

```bash
$HOME/.claude/scripts/save-file.js "{logdir}/{timestamp}-x-as-pr-{slug}.md" "<report content>"
```

Where `{slug}` is derived from the branch name or PR title (e.g., `add-dark-mode-support`).

### Post to GitHub Issue

If a GitHub issue is linked (`ISSUE_NUM` is set), post the report as an issue comment:

```bash
gh issue comment "$ISSUE_NUM" --body "<report content>"
```

---

## Post-Implementation: Requirements Verification

**Only run this step when a GitHub issue is linked** (`ISSUE_NUM` is set — either passed as argument or created via `--make-issue`). Skip if no issue is linked.

After the session report, verify that the original requirements have been fully implemented:

### Step 1: Re-read the Issue

```bash
gh issue view "$ISSUE_NUM"
```

Read the **initial issue body** and any **early comments** (especially the first 1-2 comments) to extract the original requirements. These represent what the user actually asked for.

### Step 2: Compare Against Implementation

Check every requirement, acceptance criterion, and bullet point from the issue against what was actually implemented. Be thorough — check the code, not just commit messages.

### Step 3: Handle Missing Requirements

- **If all requirements are met**: Proceed to STOP. Add a comment on the issue confirming all requirements are satisfied:

  ```bash
  gh issue comment "$ISSUE_NUM" --body "All original requirements verified as implemented."
  ```

- **If requirements are missing**: Do NOT stop. Instead:
  1. Comment on the issue listing the missing requirements:

     ```bash
     gh issue comment "$ISSUE_NUM" --body "### Requirements gap found\n\nMissing: <list of missing items>\n\nContinuing implementation..."
     ```

  2. **Continue the development loop** — implement the missing parts, commit locally (push-forbid), then re-run the post-implementation steps (review, verify-ui if applicable, push, CI watch, PR revision, session report)
  3. **Re-run this verification step** after the additional implementation is complete
  4. Repeat until all original requirements are satisfied

This creates a self-correcting loop that ensures nothing from the original spec is missed, even in long workflows where context can drift.

---

## Merge Mode (`-m` / `--merge`)

**Only run this step if `-m` or `--merge` was passed.** Otherwise, skip to STOP below. (This was `-a`'s job before the `-a`/`-m` split — `-a` is now the autonomy/chain flag and does NOT merge.)

After requirements verification passes (or after the session report if no issue is linked), automatically invoke `/pr-complete -c -w` to:

1. Wait for CI checks to pass
2. Merge the PR (`--merge --delete-branch`)
3. Close the linked issue (`-c`)
4. Watch post-merge CI on the target branch (`-w`) — `/pr-complete -w` investigates and fixes if post-merge CI goes red

This is intended for safe-to-merge, fully automated workflows. If CI fails or the PR cannot be merged, `/pr-complete` will handle the error reporting.

**After `/pr-complete` succeeds**, checkout the merged target branch and pull so the manager lands somewhere live:

```bash
# Determine the target branch the PR was merged into
TARGET_BRANCH=$(gh pr view <PR_NUMBER> --json baseRefName -q '.baseRefName')

# Checkout and pull the target branch
git checkout "$TARGET_BRANCH"
git pull origin "$TARGET_BRANCH"
```

**Do NOT delete the dead local working branch here.** Branch deletion is handed off to `/cleanup-resources` (next step), which audits every branch the workflow touched and applies the safety mechanics consistently. Doing it inline AND in the cleanup step caused the double-cleanup-confusion bug.

---

## Post-Implementation: Auto-Fixing Raised Findings (`-f` / `--auto-fix`, DEFAULT)

**This step runs by default.** Skip it only if `-nf` / `--no-fix` was passed — then go straight to the cleanup audit below. It runs AFTER the main PR work (and after Merge Mode, if `-m` was used) and BEFORE `/cleanup-resources`.

**Gating:**

- Requires `-ri` (the default). If `-nori` / `--no-raise-issues` was passed, this step is a **no-op** — no `agent-found` issues were raised this session, so there is nothing to fix. Print one line and skip.
- For careful / manual sessions, pass `-nf` / `--no-fix` to leave all raised issues open for human triage.

**Scope:** the `agent-found` issues *raised by this session* (the ones tracked in session state from the "Raising Issues for Unrelated Findings" step). Do NOT sweep up unrelated pre-existing `agent-found` issues from other sessions.

### Per raised `agent-found` issue, triage

Ensure the `needs-decision` label exists once before the first leave-open (idempotent, mirrors the `agent-found` label block):

```bash
gh label create "needs-decision" \
  --description "Left open by -fix: needs a human product/design decision or is too big for an auto-fix session" \
  --color "d93f0b" 2>/dev/null || true
```

1. **LEAVE OPEN** — when the finding needs a product/design decision, or is too big for this session: a big architecture change, removing an existing UI / feature, adding a big feature, or anything needing product/design judgment. Do NOT touch the code. Add a short note comment and the `needs-decision` label:

   ```bash
   gh issue comment <ISSUE_NUM> --body "Left open by -fix: needs a human decision (product/design judgment or too large for an auto-fix session)."
   gh issue edit <ISSUE_NUM> --add-label "needs-decision"
   ```

2. **AUTO-FIX** — everything else, with landing chosen by SCOPE:

- **TINY / trivial / localized** (one-liner, obvious cleanup, single-spot fix): **bundle ALL tiny fixes into ONE shared fix PR** on a single `agent-fix/<slug>` branch. `<slug>` is a short kebab description of the batch (e.g. `agent-fix/lint-and-typos`).
- **NON-TRIVIAL but bounded** (real but self-contained change): **each gets its OWN `agent-fix/<slug>` branch + PR.**

### Landing each fix

**Target the parent / ultimate-landing branch, NOT an intermediate base** — for `/x-as-pr` that is `TARGET_BRANCH` (the branch the main PR targets). This keeps fix branches valid even when `-m` already merged + deleted the main working branch. Each `agent-fix/<slug>` branch is created from `TARGET_BRANCH` and its PR targets `TARGET_BRANCH`.

For each fix branch (the tiny bundle, or one per non-trivial issue):

1. `git checkout -b agent-fix/<slug> <TARGET_BRANCH>` and implement the fix(es). Commit locally.
2. **Run `/light-review`** before merge — forward the active reviewer flags (`-op` / `-so` / `-haiku` / `-co` / `-gco`) so `-op` → opus-backed review. The tiny bundle is reviewed as a unit; per-issue fixes are reviewed individually. Address high-priority findings and commit.
3. Push and open the fix PR (`gh pr create --base <TARGET_BRANCH> ...`), body linking the `agent-found` issue(s) it closes (e.g. `Closes #<n>`).
4. **Verify the fix** (build / tests / the issue's described check, as appropriate).
5. **On success: CLOSE the corresponding `agent-found` issue and link the fix PR:**

   ```bash
   gh issue comment <ISSUE_NUM> --body "Fixed by -fix: <fix-PR-URL>. Closing."
   gh issue close <ISSUE_NUM>
   ```

   This overrides `/cleanup-resources`'s "always keep" for the FIXED issues only — left-open / unfixed ones stay open and kept.

### Loop + guardrails

- Repeat the triage → fix → close loop until no auto-fixable issues remain.
- **Cap at ~3 rounds.** If a fix repeatedly fails (still broken after retry), **leave that issue open** with a comment and stop retrying it:

  ```bash
  gh issue comment <ISSUE_NUM> --body "auto-fix attempted by -fix but did not converge — needs human. <brief note on what was tried>."
  ```

  Do NOT add `needs-decision` here (that label is for the deliberate leave-open path); this is a failed-fix marker. Never loop forever.

### `-m` interaction (fix PR auto-merge)

Fix PRs follow the **same auto-merge semantics as the main PR**:

- **With `-m`**: after `/light-review` and verification, auto-merge each fix PR (e.g. `/pr-complete -c -w` per fix PR, or `gh pr merge --merge --delete-branch` once green) — same as the main PR's Merge Mode.
- **Without `-m`**: leave each fix PR as a ready (non-draft) PR for the user to merge, and still close the linked `agent-found` issue with the link once the fix is verified and the PR is up.

Track the fix PRs and the closed issues in session state — pass the fix PRs to `/cleanup-resources` (role: `fix`) in the next step, and the closed `agent-found` issues will be left as-is by the audit.

---

## Post-Implementation: Cleanup audit via `/cleanup-resources`

**Always run this step before STOP.** Replaces the older bespoke "close tracking issue + delete local branch" logic — those steps tended to silently slip in long workflows. Hand cleanup off to `/cleanup-resources` so the audit is explicit; the Sonnet subagent re-fetches every resource and returns a close/keep/delete plan, then the manager (you) executes it and prints a final report.

```
Skill tool: skill="cleanup-resources", args="workflow:x-as-pr <-a if -m was passed>"
```

(`/cleanup-resources`'s `-a` flag means `--auto-merged` — it maps to this skill's `-m`, the flag that actually merges the PR. Do NOT pass it just because the autonomy flag `-a` was on this invocation.)

**Manifest contents for `/x-as-pr`:**

- Workflow context:
  - `workflow: x-as-pr`
  - `auto-flag: <true if -m/--merge was passed, else false>`
  - `epic-mode: false`
  - `root-PR: <PR_URL>` (always — every `/x-as-pr` session creates exactly one PR)
  - `root-PR-merged: <true if -m and /pr-complete merged it, else false>`
  - `parent-branch: <TARGET_BRANCH>` — the branch the PR targets
- Issues to include:
  - **Tracking issue** (if `--make-issue` created it) — role: `tracking`. Sonnet should propose CLOSE on success. The agent's prompt forbids closing a `tracking` issue if its TODO checklist still has unchecked items, which guards against premature closure.
  - **Pre-existing issue** (if user passed an issue URL/number) — role: `claimed-existing`. Sonnet should propose KEEP unless the user passed `-m` and the PR merged (in which case `/pr-complete -c` already closed it; agent should propose KEEP with reason "already closed by /pr-complete").
  - **Unrelated-findings issues** raised during coding/review (track them in session state as you create them) — role: `unrelated-finding`. ALWAYS KEEP unless closed by `-fix` (the auto-fix step closes the ones it fixed and links the fix PR; the audit leaves those closed and keeps every still-open one).
  - **Review-fix issue** (if review fixes were delegated) — role: `fix`. Sonnet should propose CLOSE if the fix-delegation agent merged its fixes successfully.
  - **`agent-found` issues closed by `-fix`** (if the auto-fix step ran) — already closed by this session; the audit confirms KEEP-as-closed.
- Branches to include:
  - **Working branch** (`$BRANCH_NAME`) — role: `working`. Pass `pr-merged: <true|false>` based on whether `-m` resulted in a successful merge.
  - **`agent-fix/<slug>` branches** (if the `-fix` step created any) — role: `fix`. Pass `pr-merged: <true if the fix PR merged — always under `-m`, else false>` so merged fix branches are cleaned up and unmerged ones (ready PRs awaiting the user) are kept.
  - **Target branch** (`$TARGET_BRANCH`) — role: `parent`. Always KEEP (cleanup-resources protects parent roles).
- PRs to include:
  - **Root PR** — role: `root`, state from `gh pr view`.
  - **`-fix` fix PRs** (if the auto-fix step created any) — role: `fix`, state from `gh pr view`. Merged → done; ready/open → KEEP (intentional, awaiting the user when `-m` was not passed).

After `/cleanup-resources` returns its report, surface the closed/deleted/kept counts to the user. If the report has an "Ambiguous" section, list those resources verbatim and let the user decide before STOP.

**This step also resolves the long-standing local-branch leftover bug:** when `-m` was used and `/pr-complete --delete-branch` removed the remote, the old workflow left the local working branch behind, confusing the user. `/cleanup-resources` will propose deleting the dead local branch as part of its plan and the manager executes the safe `git branch -d` (which refuses if there are unmerged commits, so it's not destructive).

---

## STOP — WORKFLOW ENDS HERE

**After `/cleanup-resources` returns its report and the manager executes the safe actions, the workflow is DONE.** Report the PR URL and stop.

**CRITICAL RULES:**

- **If `-m` / `--merge` was used and the PR was merged**: You are already on the target branch (e.g., `main`) after the merge-mode checkout+pull. `/cleanup-resources` will have proposed deleting the dead local working branch — once executed, no stale local branch is left behind. Stay on the target branch.
- **Otherwise**: **Stay on `<BRANCH_NAME>`.** Do NOT checkout `main`, the parent branch, or any other branch. The user expects to remain on the working branch when the workflow finishes (and `/cleanup-resources` will have kept the branch since pr-merged is false).
- **Never skip `/cleanup-resources`.** Even when there are no resources to close or delete, the audit run is fast and produces a paper trail. Skipping is the historical bug — do not relitigate.
- **Do NOT do anything else** unless the user asks.
