Iterate on a PR until CI passes. Use when you need to fix CI failures, address review feedback, or continuously push fixes until all checks are green. Automates the feedback-fix-push-wait cycle.

.claude/skills/iterate-pr/# Iterate on PR Until CI Passes
Continuously iterate on the current branch until all CI checks pass and review feedback is addressed.
**Requires**: GitHub CLI (`gh`) authenticated and available.
## Process
### Step 1: Identify the PR
```bash
gh pr view --json number,url,headRefName,baseRefName
```
If no PR exists for the current branch, stop and inform the user.
### Step 2: Check CI Status First
Always check CI/GitHub Actions status before looking at review feedback:
```bash
gh pr checks --json name,state,bucket,link,workflow
```
The `bucket` field categorizes state into: `pass`, `fail`, `pending`, `skipping`, or `cancel`.
**Important:** If any of these checks are still `pending`, wait before proceeding:
- Linting checks (ruff, black, flake8, mypy, pylint)
- Test runners (pytest, unittest)
- Coverage checks (codecov, coveralls)
- Any code analysis checks
These tools may post additional feedback comments once their checks complete. Waiting avoids duplicate work.
### Step 3: Gather Review Feedback
Once CI checks have completed (or at least the bot-related checks), gather human and bot feedback:
**Review Comments and Status:**
```bash
gh pr view --json reviews,comments,reviewDecision
```
**Inline Code Review Comments:**
```bash
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/comments
```
**PR Conversation Comments (includes bot comments):**
```bash
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{pr_number}/comments
```
Look for bot comments from: Codecov, Dependabot, and other automated tools.
### Step 4: Investigate Failures
For each CI failure, get the actual logs:
```bash
# List recent runs for this branch
gh run list --branch $(git branch --show-current) --limit 5 --json databaseId,name,status,conclusion
# View failed logs for a specific run
gh run view <run-id> --log-failed
```
Do NOT assume what failed based on the check name alone. Always read the actual logs.
### Step 5: Validate Feedback
For each piece of feedback (CI failure or review comment):
1.
