Gordon Lam d47a6c93b7 Add copilot-pr-autopilot skill (#1944)
* Add copilot-pr-autopilot skill

Skill that drives any GitHub pull request through repeated rounds of
Copilot Code Review until the agent has either resolved every thread
or explicitly escalated it to the human. Triggered via GraphQL (no
@copilot mention needed), triages every open thread with a fix /
decline / escalate rubric, replies and resolves each thread citing
the pushed SHA, then re-triggers until HEAD is reviewed with zero
threads awaiting the agent's reply.

Includes step scripts (01 request-review, 02 check-review-status,
03 list-open-threads, 08 reply-and-resolve, 10 cleanup-outdated),
shared library (_lib.ps1) with gh-CLI wrappers (Invoke-Gh,
Invoke-GhGraphQL, ConvertFrom-GhJson, Assert-GhReady), reply
templates, and reference docs for each step.

Repo-agnostic. Requires gh CLI on PATH and repo Triage/Write for
full autopilot; external PR authors get single-iteration mode with
manual re-trigger via the UI re-request button or a substantive
push.

* Address review: split per-step references + add recap-gate circuit breaker

- Fix #1: give steps 1/7/10 their own reference files
  (01-request-review.md, 07-commit-push.md, 10-cleanup.md); trim the
  inline bodies out of orchestration.md so it stays cross-cutting only.
- Fix #3: add a recurring round-cap & recap gate to 09-convergence.md —
  default STOP every 10th round, recap all prior rounds, detect drift
  (out-of-scope / over-engineering / wrong-direction / belongs-in-separate-PR)
  with CONTINUE / REVERT-AND-SHIP / HAND-OFF verdicts. Agent reasoning,
  no new script.
- Surface the gate from SKILL.md and orchestration.md; regenerate
  docs/README.skills.md. Markdown-only change; scripts unchanged.

* docs(copilot-pr-autopilot): surface recap gate in decision pseudo-code; clarify Copilot+human convergence and round definition

- Inject the round-cap recap gate into the '## Decision: loop back or exit'
  pseudo-code else-branch so an agent following the code block (not just the
  prose) runs the STOP-every-10th-round check before looping.
- Broaden the 'never terminal' paragraph: non-convergence is driven by a
  Copilot finding OR a human review comment (this skill handles both); the
  loop ends only when there are no new comments from either source AND every
  open thread (Copilot or human) has an agent reply/escalation.
- Define a 'round' explicitly as one execution of step 1 (01-request-review),
  i.e. one Copilot-review trigger — the cap counts review rounds, not tool
  calls or fix edits.

Markdown-only; no script changes.

* copilot-pr-autopilot: make recap-gate round count deterministic

Add 09-review-round.ps1: counts Copilot Code Review submissions straight
from the PR's API history (full GraphQL pagination), so the recap-gate
trigger is a derived number, not a fallible agent mental tally. This
removes the exact failure mode the skill exists to survive — a count
drifting across a long run (the real 156-round case).

The script reports Round + RecapDue (Round % RecapInterval == 0) only;
it never stops the loop or picks the verdict. CONTINUE / REVERT-AND-SHIP
/ HAND-OFF stays agent reasoning. 09-convergence.md updated to reference
the deterministic count while preserving 'no script stops the loop' and
'non-convergence = Copilot finding OR human comment'.

* Regenerate docs/README.skills.md for copilot-pr-autopilot (add 09-review-round.ps1)

Step 2: Wait for review

Sub-agent type: general-purpose; budget: 20-minute hard cap (one bounded sub-agent, NOT extension-driven).

Skipped when the loop is in single-iteration mode — there's no Copilot review to wait for.

Inputs

From step 1:

  • PrNumber.
  • baseline — the LatestCopilotReview.submittedAt string captured before the trigger fired (empty string if no prior Copilot review).

Return contract

  • 02-check-review-status.ps1 JSON snapshot.
  • recommendation ∈ {ready, give-up-push-commit}.
  • ready iff both LatestCopilotReview.submittedAt > baseline AND ReviewAtHead: true.

Procedure

Poll 02-check-review-status.ps1 approximately every 3 minutes until ready or the 20-minute cap is hit:

pwsh ./scripts/02-check-review-status.ps1 -PrNumber <n>
  • Extract submittedAt and ReviewAtHead from the JSON each tick.
  • Stop and return ready on the first tick that satisfies both conditions vs. the captured baseline.
  • On cap reached without ready, return give-up-push-commit.

Gotchas

  • Don't poll faster than ~3 minutes. There is no progress signal from the API; faster polling only burns budget.
  • give-up-push-commit fallback is parent-driven. When the sub-agent returns this recommendation, the parent pushes a substantive (non-whitespace) commit — auto-assign on synchronize is the most reliable trigger. Then the parent re-enters the loop at step 1 with a fresh baseline.
  • Single bounded run, not extension-driven. Do not request extensions on this step — if 20 min isn't enough, the right move is the give-up-push-commit fallback, not more polling.
