Complete issue → PR → merge lifecycle with readiness checks.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## Context This skill is the **canonical Copilot-agent lifecycle for the Squad repository**. It covers the full path from picking up a GitHub issue to merging a PR. Where older docs (templates, copilot-instructions, CONTRIBUTING.md) conflict with this skill, **this skill takes precedence** for Copilot agents. For advanced scenarios (worktrees, multi-repo coordination), see `.copilot/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md`. ## Scope ✅ **THIS SKILL COVERS:** - Issue pickup and branch creation - Implementation, build, test, lint workflow - Pre-push safety verification - PR creation with correct target, title, body, and labels - All 11 PR readiness checks (what they check, how to pass, how to fix) - Post-creation maintenance (review feedback, rebasing, CI) - Merge preconditions and cleanup ❌ **THIS SKILL DOES NOT COVER:** - Worktree-based parallel work (see `git-workflow` skill) - Multi-repo coordinated PRs (see `git-workflow` skill) - Release process / publishing (see `.squad/skills/release-process`) - Reviewer lockout protocol (see `.copilot/skills/reviewer-protocol`) - Architectural or security review checklists --- ## Lifecycle Procedure ### Phase 1 — Issue Pickup …

How to install
mdr add bradygaster/squad/pr-lifecycle@sha256:5c7565dd855fabebThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260411.05e51e9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
