What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by pytorch/helion in .claude/skills/fix-pr/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Goal: bring a PR green by fixing CI failures and addressing unresolved review comments. Leave the fixes uncommitted and unstaged — the user handles committing and updating the PR.

1. Identify the target PR

Run git log -n1 to see the current commit. The local commit must correspond to the PR being fixed.

Resolve the PR number using whichever sources are available:

  • User-provided URL (e.g. https://github.com/pytorch/helion/pull/1234): extract the PR number directly.
  • Commit message stack-info line: look for a line of the form
    stack-info: PR: https://github.com/pytorch/helion/pull/<number>, branch: ...
    
    Use the URL on that line. Ignore the branch: value — do not run any checkout, branch, or switch commands.
  • Both present: if the user-provided URL and the stack-info URL disagree, abort with an error.
  • Neither present: abort with an error explaining that the PR could not be identified.

Then fetch the PR metadata with gh pr view <number> --repo pytorch/helion --json title,body,.... Verify the PR title matches the local commit's subject line. If they differ, abort with an error — the local commit does not match the PR.

2. Fix CI failures

Use gh to list the PR's check runs and pull failure logs:

gh pr checks <number> --repo pytorch/helion
gh run view <run-id> --log-failed --repo pytorch/helion

For each failing check:

  • Infra failures (most commonly CUDA Compute Check, runner provisioning errors, transient network issues): do not attempt to fix. Note them and report at the end.
  • Real failures (lint, type-check, test failures, build errors): read the logs, locate the root cause, and fix it in the working tree. Re-run the relevant check locally when feasible (e.g. ./lint.sh, pytest <file>::<test>) to confirm the fix.

3. Address unresolved review comments

Fetch review comments and resolve any that haven't been addressed:

gh api repos/pytorch/helion/pulls/<number>/comments
gh api repos/pytorch/helion/pulls/<number>/reviews
gh pr view <number> --repo pytorch/helion --comments

For each unresolved comment, apply the requested change in the working tree. Skip comments that are already resolved, are non-actionable (praise, questions answered in thread), or that the author explicitly waved off.

4. Wrap up

  • Leave all fixes uncommitted and unstaged. Do not run git add, git commit, git push, or any rebase/checkout commands.
  • Report a short summary covering:
    • PR identified (number + title)
    • CI failures fixed (with file:line where useful)
    • Review comments addressed
    • Any infra failures skipped (so the user knows to retry them)
    • Anything that could not be fixed and why
