What it does
Iterate PR is an agent skill from ReviewStage/stage-cli. Use when a PR is open and the user wants to autonomously monitor and fix PR review comments, CI failures, and rebase conflicts on a recurring loop, or when asked to babysit/iterate on a PR
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Pull requests and Failing and flaky tests. The repository describes itself as: A viewer for reviewing local code changes in small individual chapters. Works with any AI agent. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- A PR is open and the user wants to autonomously monitor and fix PR review comments
- Rebase conflicts on a recurring loop
- Asked to babysit/iterate on a PR
Example prompts
- “/iterate-pr”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 59b977b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
ghgitjq
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Iterate PR loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 224 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Iterate PR
Recurring loop that checks a PR each iteration and fixes what's broken. Combines /fixing-pr-comments, /fixing-ci, and /rebase-origin-main.
WHEN INVOKED — Do These Two Steps Immediately
STEP 1: Run the iteration checklist once right now (before setting up the loop).
Execute all condition checks, run the appropriate sub-skills, and report results. Do not skip this — the first pass must happen immediately in the current session.
STEP 2: After reporting results, always kick off the loop using /loop at the requested interval (default 10m):
/loop <INTERVAL> For PR #<NUM> (<OWNER>/<REPO>): run the iterate-pr iteration sequence — check PR state, check for merge conflicts, check for unresolved comments, check for failing CI. Fix what's broken. Cancel the loop when the PR is closed or merged, OR when ALL of the following are simultaneously true: no merge conflicts with origin/main, zero unresolved review threads, no failing CI checks, no pending CI checks, and no commit was pushed this iteration.Replace <INTERVAL> with the interval passed to /iterate-pr (default 10m), and <NUM>, <OWNER>, <REPO> with the actual values resolved in Step 1. Do not leave placeholders.
The loop is mandatory. Never ask the user whether to set it up — always set it up.
Both steps are mandatory. The loop is not a substitute for Step 1 — it is in addition to it.
Iteration Sequence
Each iteration (including the first one in Step 1 above) follows this sequence:
1. VERIFY → gh pr view; stop loop if closed/merged
2. REBASE → If merge conflicts with origin/main → /rebase-origin-main
3. COMMENTS → If unresolved threads → /fixing-pr-comments
4. CI → If CI failing → /fixing-ci
5. REPORT → Summarize what was checked and what was done (or skipped).
Cancel the loop when ANY of the following is true:
- PR is closed or merged
- ALL of the following are simultaneously true:
- No merge conflicts with origin/main
- Zero unresolved review threads
- No failing CI checks
- No pending CI checks
- No commit was pushed this iterationOnly invoke sub-skills when their condition is met. Skip clean steps.
Fully autonomous. No user approval needed — triage, fix, commit, push, reply, resolve.
Do not ask the user whether to continue or cancel the loop. Apply the cancellation rule mechanically.
Exception: Ambiguous merge conflicts pause for manual resolution.
Condition Checks
OWNER=$(gh repo view --json owner -q '.owner.login')
REPO=$(gh repo view --json name -q '.name')
NUM=$(gh pr view --json number -q '.number')
# 1: PR open?
gh pr view --json state -q '.state'
# CLOSED or MERGED → stop loop immediately
# 2: Merge conflicts with main?
git fetch origin main
git merge-tree --write-tree --no-messages HEAD origin/main > /dev/null 2>&1
# Non-zero exit code → conflicts exist → run /rebase-origin-main
# 3: Unresolved comments?
# gh -f/-F flag parsing mangles ! (non-null type annotations); use --input - to pass JSON directly
gh api graphql --input - <<EOF | jq '[.data.repository.pullRequest.reviewThreads.nodes[] | select(.isResolved==false)] | length' || echo 0

EOF
# Non-zero count → run /fixing-pr-comments
