ralph-bugbot_skill

Overview

This skill automates iterative handling of bugbot feedback and CI failures on pull requests. It fetches unresolved bugbot comments, triages each issue, makes minimal surgical fixes or documents and resolves verified false positives, and repeats until all comments are resolved and CI passes. It is designed to run inside a ralph-loop orchestration for repeated passes.

How this skill works

The skill waits for bugbot to finish analyzing, then queries for unresolved bugbot review threads on the current PR. For each thread it triages whether the issue is a real bug, a false positive (with evidence), or needs deeper investigation, applies minimal fixes or posts a documented resolution, commits changes, and submits them via Graphite. After submission it waits for bugbot and CI to re-run, fetches failing check logs if any, runs targeted local fixes for lint/format/type/test/build errors, and repeats until success.

When to use it

• Address unresolved bugbot review comments on a PR
• Fix CI failures (lint, format, type checks, tests, build)
• Automate iterative triage and fixes as part of ralph-loop
• Quickly resolve false positives with evidence and close threads
• Perform surgical fixes while preserving existing code patterns

Best practices

• Run wait-for-bugbot first to avoid racing the analyzer
• Triage carefully: prove false positives before resolving them
• Make minimal, pattern-consistent edits; avoid refactors
• Run failing checks locally (lint, format, tests) before committing
• Always git add, git commit, then gt submit --update-only — never git push/rebase/pull

Example use cases

• Fetch all unresolved bugbot threads on a feature PR and address each one
• Repair lint and formatter failures reported by CI, commit, and resubmit
• Document and resolve a false positive with code references and a concise explanation
• Fix a failing unit test discovered by CI, commit change, and re-run checks
• Run as part of ralph-loop to iterate until no bugbot comments remain and CI is green
