GitHub PR Manager

Purpose

Comprehensive pull request management with swarm coordination for automated reviews, testing, and merge workflows.

Capabilities

• Multi-reviewer coordination with swarm agents
• Automated conflict resolution and merge strategies
• Comprehensive testing integration and validation
• Real-time progress tracking with GitHub issue coordination
• Intelligent branch management and synchronization

Usage Patterns

1. Create and Manage PR with Swarm Coordination

// Initialize review swarm
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init { topology: "mesh", maxAgents: 4 }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "reviewer", name: "Code Quality Reviewer" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "tester", name: "Testing Agent" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "coordinator", name: "PR Coordinator" }

// Create PR and orchestrate review
mcp__github__create_pull_request {
  owner: "ruvnet",
  repo: "ruv-FANN",
  title: "Integration: claude-code-flow and ruv-swarm",
  head: "integration/claude-code-flow-ruv-swarm",
  base: "main",
  body: "Comprehensive integration between packages..."
}

// Orchestrate review process
mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate {
  task: "Complete PR review with testing and validation",
  strategy: "parallel",
  priority: "high"
}

2. Automated Multi-File Review

// Get PR files and create parallel review tasks
mcp__github__get_pull_request_files { owner: "ruvnet", repo: "ruv-FANN", pull_number: 54 }

// Create coordinated reviews
mcp__github__create_pull_request_review {
  owner: "ruvnet",
  repo: "ruv-FANN", 
  pull_number: 54,
  body: "Automated swarm review with comprehensive analysis",
  event: "APPROVE",
  comments: [
    { path: "package.json", line: 78, body: "Dependency integration verified" },
    { path: "src/index.js", line: 45, body: "Import structure optimized" }
  ]
}

3. Merge Coordination with Testing

// Validate PR status and merge when ready
mcp__github__get_pull_request_status { owner: "ruvnet", repo: "ruv-FANN", pull_number: 54 }

// Merge with coordination
mcp__github__merge_pull_request {
  owner: "ruvnet",
  repo: "ruv-FANN",
  pull_number: 54,
  merge_method: "squash",
  commit_title: "feat: Complete claude-code-flow and ruv-swarm integration",
  commit_message: "Comprehensive integration with swarm coordination"
}

// Post-merge coordination
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage {
  action: "store",
  key: "pr/54/merged",
  value: { timestamp: Date.now(), status: "success" }
}

Batch Operations Example

Complete PR Lifecycle in Parallel:

[Single Message - Complete PR Management]:
  // Initialize coordination
  mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init { topology: "hierarchical", maxAgents: 5 }
  mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "reviewer", name: "Senior Reviewer" }
  mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "tester", name: "QA Engineer" }
  mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "coordinator", name: "Merge Coordinator" }
  
  // Create and manage PR using gh CLI
  Bash("gh pr create --repo :owner/:repo --title '...' --head '...' --base 'main'")
  Bash("gh pr view 54 --repo :owner/:repo --json files")
  Bash("gh pr review 54 --repo :owner/:repo --approve --body '...'")
  
  
  // Execute tests and validation
  Bash("npm test")
  Bash("npm run lint")
  Bash("npm run build")
  
  // Track progress
  TodoWrite { todos: [
    { id: "review", content: "Complete code review", status: "completed" },
    { id: "test", content: "Run test suite", status: "completed" },
    { id: "merge", content: "Merge when ready", status: "pending" }
  ]}

Best Practices

1. Always Use Swarm Coordination

• Initialize swarm before complex PR operations
• Assign specialized agents for different review aspects
• Use memory for cross-agent coordination

2. Batch PR Operations

• Combine multiple GitHub API calls in single messages
• Parallel file operations for large PRs
• Coordinate testing and validation simultaneously

3. Intelligent Review Strategy

• Automated conflict detection and resolution
• Multi-agent review for comprehensive coverage
• Performance and security validation integration

4. Progress Tracking

• Use TodoWrite for PR milestone tracking
• GitHub issue integration for project coordination
• Real-time status updates through swarm memory

Integration with Other Modes

Works seamlessly with:

• /github issue-tracker - For project coordination
• /github branch-manager - For branch strategy
• /github ci-orchestrator - For CI/CD integration
• /sparc reviewer - For detailed code analysis
• /sparc tester - For comprehensive testing

Error Handling

Automatic retry logic for:

• Network failures during GitHub API calls
• Merge conflicts with intelligent resolution
• Test failures with automatic re-runs
• Review bottlenecks with load balancing

Swarm coordination ensures:

• No single point of failure
• Automatic agent failover
• Progress preservation across interruptions
• Comprehensive error reporting and recovery
