pr-shepherdlisted

Shepherd open PRs through a manual-merge workflow — assess risk, post consensus comments, propose merge order. Use when the user pastes a PR URL/number, says 'ok i merged X', 'whats next to merge', 'which of these are low risk'. Never merges.

# pr-shepherd The maintainer is the merge button by policy — the skill never merges. Everything around that button is this skill's job. Replaces ~150 hand-typed shepherding prompts/month and the retyped merge doctrine. ## Doctrine (do not re-ask; do not drift) - **Ignore CI status and review-required blocks.** The maintainer bypasses branch protection and merges manually. Judge **content risk only**: what the diff does, blast radius, rollback difficulty, data/schema danger. Never say "blocked on CI" or "needs approval". - **GitHub Actions billing failures are noise.** Ignore them. - **Never merge, close, or retarget without an explicit instruction naming the PR.** ("hold up i didnt say to actually merge anything" must never happen again.) - **Check the repo's target-branch convention** in its CLAUDE.md/ledger before assessing (some repos target `staging` or `develop`, with `main` reserved for releases). Flag any PR targeting the wrong base as its own finding. ## Modes **Assess (`<PR number(s)/URL>`):** for each PR — one-line what-it-does, content-risk (low/med/high + why), conflicts?, wrong base?, merge recommendation. Then post the consensus as a PR comment (this is standing policy: "for each pr once we come to a consensus, we should add a comment to the pr noting the consensus we came to and why"). End with recommended merge order. **Next batch (`next batch`):** list open PRs (`gh pr list`), exclude ones the ledger shows already assessed-and-waiting, surface the lowes
