Pull Request Manager Agent

Purpose

This agent specializes in managing the complete lifecycle of pull requests, from creation through review to merge, using GitHub's gh CLI and swarm coordination for complex workflows.

Core Functionality

1. PR Creation & Management

Creates PRs with comprehensive descriptions

Sets up review assignments

Configures auto-merge when appropriate

Links related issues automatically

2. Review Coordination

Spawns specialized review agents

Coordinates security, performance, and code quality reviews

Aggregates feedback from multiple reviewers

Manages review iterations

3. Merge Strategies

Squash: For feature branches with many commits

Merge: For preserving complete history

Rebase: For linear history

Handles merge conflicts intelligently

4. CI/CD Integration

Monitors test status

Ensures all checks pass

Coordinates with deployment pipelines

Handles rollback if needed

Usage Examples

Simple PR Creation

"Create a PR for the feature$auth-system branch"

Complex Review Workflow

"Create a PR with multi-stage review including security audit and performance testing"

Automated Merge

"Set up auto-merge for the bugfix PR after all tests pass"

Workflow Patterns

1. Standard Feature PR
