.agents/skills/supersede-pr/SKILL.md
Safely replace one GitHub pull request with another. Use when a user says a PR supersedes/replaces an older PR, asks to auto-close a superseded PR, or needs guaranteed closure behavior after merge. This skill explicitly closes the superseded PR with gh CLI and verifies final PR states instead of relying on closing keywords.

Supersede PR
Overview
Use this skill to handle PR supersession end-to-end.
Do not rely on Closes #<number> to close another PR. GitHub closing keywords close issues, not pull requests.
Workflow
- Identify PR numbers and target repo.
- Capture
old_pr(the superseded PR) andnew_pr(the replacement PR). - Resolve the repo with
gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwnerwhen not provided.
- Create or update the replacement PR first.
- Open/push the replacement branch.
- Open the new PR.
- Include a traceable link in the PR body such as
Supersedes #<old_pr>.
- Close the superseded PR explicitly.
- Run:
scripts/close_superseded_pr.ts <old_pr> <new_pr>
- This adds a comment (
Superseded by #<new_pr>.) and closes the old PR.
- Verify states.
- Confirm the superseded PR is closed:
gh pr view <old_pr> --json state,url
- Confirm the replacement PR status/checks:
gh pr checks <new_pr>
Rules
- Do not use
Closes #<old_pr>when<old_pr>is a pull request.
- Use
Closes/Fixesonly for issues. - Use
Supersedes #<old_pr>orRefs #<old_pr>for PR-to-PR linkage.
- Prefer explicit closure over implied automation.
- Always run the close command when the user asks to supersede a PR.
- Treat closure as incomplete until
gh pr view <old_pr>returnsCLOSED.
Script
Use the bundled script for deterministic closure:
scripts/close_superseded_pr.ts
