land

The Land skill provides a robust, agentic workflow for finalizing pull requests in the VS Code Sidebar Terminal repository. It is designed for developers who need to shepherd a PR from completion to merge without manual intervention for routine tasks. By utilizing the GitHub CLI (gh) and a dedicated asynchronous watcher, the skill creates a continuous loop that ensures the branch remains healthy, conflict-free, and aligned with the main branch. The agent operates with strict adherence to repository standards, prioritizing local validation through npm scripts before pushing any changes.

• Automated conflict detection and resolution workflow using pull and push primitives.

• Continuous integration (CI) monitoring with log analysis and proactive failure fixing for common issues like flaky tests.

• Intelligent PR review management, including support for inline feedback, contextual decision-making, and mandatory human acknowledgement.

• Squash-merging capability that preserves clean history while utilizing existing PR titles and bodies for commit metadata.

• Ambiguity gate and pushback templates to ensure agent decisions align with developer intent and project guidelines.

• Precondition: Requires an authenticated GitHub CLI (gh) session and a clean git working tree on the feature branch.

• Usage: Trigger this skill when a PR is ready for final verification, review addressing, and merging.

• Input/Output: The agent consumes PR state and CI statuses; it produces git commits, push events, GitHub review comments, and PR merge events.

• Context Guard: Before applying any review-based code changes, the agent validates the fix against the original task context to prevent regressions.

• Best Practice: Treat Ubuntu test timeouts as potential flakes; prioritize fixing genuine logic errors before re-running CI checks.
