Mark MR Ready for Review

Inputs

Input	Type	Default	Purpose
`mr_id`	string	required	MR ID (e.g., "1459" or "!1459")
`project`	string	automation-analytics/automation-analytics-backend	GitLab project
`issue_key`	string	-	Jira key to update (auto-extracted from MR if empty)
`update_jira`	bool	true	Update Jira to In Review
`run_linting`	bool	true	Run black/flake8 before marking ready
`repo`	string	""	Repo path for linting (auto-detected)
`check_docs`	bool	true	Run update_docs check

Workflow

1. Bootstrap

persona_load("developer")
knowledge_query(project="automation-analytics-backend", section="gotchas") — MR readiness patterns
check_known_issues("gitlab_mr_update")
Clean mr_id: strip "!" and whitespace

2. Get MR

gitlab_mr_view(project, mr_id) — get details
Parse: title, jira_key (from title or inputs), web_url via extract_mr_url

3. Linting (if run_linting)

Resolve repo from config (match project to gitlab) or inputs.repo
git_format(repo, tool="black", check_only=true) or run black --check
git_lint(repo, tool="flake8", max_line_length=100, ignore="E501,W503,E203")
Block if lint fails — show errors, suggest black . && flake8

4. Docs (if check_docs)

skill_run("update_docs", '{"repo": "...", "check_only": true}') — warn only
persona_load("developer") — restore after update_docs

5. Mark Ready

gitlab_mr_update(project, mr_id, draft=false)
Success if "Updated" or "success" in result

6. Notify & Jira

skill_run("notify_mr", '{"mr_id": X, "project": "...", "issue_key": "..."}') — posts to team Slack
persona_load("developer") — restore after notify_mr
If update_jira and mr_info.jira_key: jira_set_status(issue_key, "In Review")

7. Memory

memory_session_log("Marked MR !X ready for review", web_url)
memory_update("state/current_work", "last_updated", timestamp)
Update open_mrs: set is_draft=false, marked_ready, needs_review=true
Record in learned/patterns.mr_ready_actions

8. Failure Learning

"no such host" → learn_tool_fix("gitlab_mr_update", "no such host", "VPN", "vpn_connect()")
"merge request not found" → check mr_id and project
"not_in_channel" (Slack) → invite bot to team channel
