Commit, Push, and Ensure CI Passes
Commit changes, run local validation, push to remote, open a draft PR if needed, and ensure CI passes.
Workflow
1. Pre-Commit Cleanup
Before running validation, clean up your changes:
- Remove comments and docstrings you added (user instructions take precedence if they want docstrings)
- Remove try-except blocks that suppress errors—code should fail early rather than log warnings and potentially behave incorrectly. Exception: when aggregating results from multiple operations to report at the end.
- Move imports to top of file
2. Run Local Validation
Before committing, run all local checks:
Linting, Typechecking, and Formatting:
- Run the project's linter (e.g.,
ruff check,eslint,golangci-lint) - Run the typechecker (e.g.,
basedpyright,mypy,tsc --noEmit) - Run the formatter (e.g.,
ruff format --check,prettier --check,gofmt) - Fix any issues found before proceeding
Tests:
- Check if the project has slow tests marked with
@pytest.mark.slow(search formark.slowin test files) - If slow tests exist: run
pytest -m "not slow"for fast tests, then run affected slow tests - If no slow test markers exist, run all tests:
pytest,npm test,go test ./... - To identify affected slow tests, check which test files import or exercise modified code
- If pytest-xdist is available (
uv pip show pytest-xdist), use-n autofor parallel execution:pytest -n auto -m "not slow" # fast tests in parallel pytest -n auto path/to/slow_test1.py path/to/slow_test2.py # affected slow tests in parallel
3. DVC (Data Version Control)
If this is a DVC-tracked repository (has .dvc files or dvc.yaml):
- Run
dvc reproto reproduce any affected pipelines - Run
dvc pushto push data artifacts to remote storage - This prevents
check-dvcCI failures
Fixing check-dvc CI failures:
- Run
dvc status --remoteto see which files are missing - Run
dvc pushto upload missing files to the remote - Commit any updated
.dvcfiles if they changed
3b. Pivot (Pipeline Management)
If this is a Pivot-tracked repository (has .pvt files or pipeline.py):
- Run
pivot runto execute any outdated pipeline stages - Run
pivot pushto push outputs to S3 - Commit any updated
.pvtor.pivot/stages/*.lockfiles - This prevents
check-pivotCI failures
Fixing check-pivot CI failures:
- Run
pivot statusto see which stages need to run - Run
pivot runto execute outdated stages (orpivot run stage_name@variantfor specific stages) - Run
pivot pushto upload outputs to S3 - Commit any updated
.pvtor.pivot/stages/*.lockfiles
4. Commit and Push
Once local validation passes:
- Run
git statusandgit diffto see changes - Run
git log --oneline -3to match commit message style - Stage changes with
git add - Create commit with descriptive message ending with:
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> - Push to remote with
git push
5. Check if on Main Branch
Determine if you're pushing directly to the main branch:
current_branch=$(git branch --show-current)
main_branch=$(git remote show origin | grep 'HEAD branch' | cut -d: -f2 | xargs)
if [ "$current_branch" = "$main_branch" ]; then
# Pushing directly to main - skip PR creation, go to step 10
echo "On main branch, skipping PR workflow"
fi
If on main/master: Skip steps 6-9 and go directly to step 10 (Wait for CI on Direct Push).
If on a feature branch: Continue with step 6.
6. Determine PR Base Branch (Feature Branches Only)
Before creating a PR, determine the correct base branch:
# Get the main/master branch name
main_branch=$(git remote show origin | grep 'HEAD branch' | cut -d: -f2 | xargs)
# Find the merge-base with main
merge_base=$(git merge-base HEAD origin/$main_branch)
# Check if there's another branch between current branch and main
# This finds branches that contain the merge-base but are not main
intermediate_branch=$(git branch -r --contains $merge_base | grep -v "origin/$main_branch" | grep -v "origin/HEAD" | head -1 | xargs)
# If an intermediate branch exists and is an ancestor of HEAD, use it as base
if [ -n "$intermediate_branch" ]; then
base_branch=${intermediate_branch#origin/}
else
base_branch=$main_branch
fi
Use $base_branch as the PR base instead of always using main/master.
7. Open or Update Draft PR (Feature Branches Only)
Check if the current branch has an open PR:
gh pr view --json number,url,state,isDraft 2>/dev/null
If no PR exists:
- Create a draft PR targeting the correct base branch:
gh pr create --draft --base $base_branch --title "..." --body "..." - Assign the PR to Thomas Broadley:
gh pr edit --add-assignee tbroadley - Add an OKR label (choose the most relevant from available labels starting with
OKR-):# List available OKR labels gh label list --search "OKR-" # Add the appropriate label using the API (gh pr edit --add-label can fail due to deprecated Projects classic) gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{pr_number}/labels -f "labels[]=okr-..."
If PR exists but is not a draft:
- Continue with the existing PR
8. Wait for CI and Ensure It Passes (Feature Branches Only)
First, check if the repo has GitHub Actions workflows:
# Check for workflow files
if ! ls .github/workflows/*.yml .github/workflows/*.yaml 2>/dev/null | head -1 > /dev/null; then
echo "No GitHub Actions workflows found, skipping CI wait"
# Skip to step 9
fi
If no workflows exist, skip waiting for CI and proceed to step 9.
Before waiting for CI, check for merge conflicts:
Merge conflicts prevent CI from running. Check immediately after pushing:
gh pr view --json mergeable,mergeStateStatus
- If
mergeableisfalseormergeStateStatusisDIRTY, there are merge conflicts - If
mergeableisUNKNOWN, wait a few seconds and check again (GitHub is still computing)
If merge conflicts exist, resolve them before waiting for CI (see "If CI cannot run" below).
If no conflicts, monitor CI status:
gh pr checks --watch
If CI cannot run (e.g., merge conflict):
- Identify the blocker:
gh pr view --json mergeable,mergeStateStatus - If merge conflict:
git fetch origin $base_branch git rebase origin/$base_branch # Resolve conflicts git add . git rebase --continue - Run local validation again (steps 1-2)
- Force push:
git push --force-with-lease - Wait for CI again
If CI fails:
- Check which jobs failed:
gh pr checks - Get failure details:
gh run view <run_id> --log-failed - Fix the failing tests/checks locally
- Run local validation again (steps 1-2)
- Commit the fixes and push
- Repeat until CI passes
9. Respond to PR Comments (Feature Branches Only)
IMPORTANT: Never leave top-level comments on the PR (via gh pr comment or the issues comments API). Only reply directly within review comment threads using the replies API. Top-level comments like "Addressed review feedback" clutter the PR.
If there are existing PR review comments, check if pushed changes address them.
Fetch review comments:
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/comments --paginate
For each unresolved comment that was addressed:
-
Leave a reply:
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/comments/{comment_id}/replies \ -f body="Claude Code: <explanation of how this was addressed>" -
Resolve the thread:
gh api graphql -f query=' mutation { resolveReviewThread(input: {threadId: "<thread_id>"}) { thread { isResolved } } } '
To get thread IDs:
gh api graphql -f query='
query {
repository(owner: "{owner}", name: "{repo}") {
pullRequest(number: {pr_number}) {
reviewThreads(first: 100) {
nodes {
id
isResolved
comments(first: 1) {
nodes {
id
databaseId
body
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
'
Re-request review: After addressing all comments from a reviewer, request their re-review:
gh pr edit --add-reviewer <reviewer-username>
To find reviewers who left comments:
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/reviews --jq '.[].user.login' | sort -u
10. Wait for CI on Direct Push (Main Branch Only)
First, check if the repo has GitHub Actions workflows:
# Check for workflow files
if ! ls .github/workflows/*.yml .github/workflows/*.yaml 2>/dev/null | head -1 > /dev/null; then
echo "No GitHub Actions workflows found, skipping CI wait"
# Task complete - no CI to wait for
fi
If no workflows exist, the task is complete.
If workflows exist, monitor CI using the workflow run:
# Watch the CI run for the latest commit
gh run watch
If CI fails:
- Check which jobs failed:
gh run view --log-failed - Fix the failing tests/checks locally
- Run local validation again (steps 1-2)
- Commit the fixes and push
- Repeat until CI passes
Notes
- Always run local validation before pushing to catch issues early
- Steps 6-9 only apply to feature branches (not main/master)
- Step 10 only applies when pushing directly to main/master
- Only respond to PR comments that were actually addressed by the changes
- Prefix all GitHub comments with "Claude Code: "
- If CI keeps failing after multiple attempts, report the issue to the user
- The goal is green CI before considering the task complete (on a draft PR for feature branches, or on the commit for direct pushes to main)
