Mpt Ext Workflow Send To Review

Send To Review

Purpose

Coordinate the path from completed local implementation to a review-ready pull request and Jira handoff.

Use When

• The user has finished implementation and wants to publish the current branch for review.
• The task requires repository checks, commit creation, PR publication, and Jira transition to Code Review.
• The work should stop once the branch is ready for human or bot review.

Do Not Use When

• The task is only to run checks, create a commit, or open a pull request.
• The task is to process review comments on an existing PR.
• The task is to move Jira to QA after merge.
• The task is to wait for review or merge inside the same workflow.

Inputs

• Current repository worktree and branch context.
• Jira issue key for the work being published.
• Repository contribution, validation, commit, and PR rules from repo docs.
• GitHub authentication that can push the branch and create or update pull requests.
• Jira authentication for the Code Review transition and Jira-linked reporting.
• Local Git identity and repository access needed to commit and push changes.
• Installed shared package root:

${MPT_EXTENSION_SKILLS_HOME:-$HOME/.mpt-extension-skills}/current

Assumptions

• Implementation is complete enough to enter review.
• The repository state is clean enough to run validation and create the intended commit, or the user is available to resolve blockers surfaced by the underlying tasks.
• The workflow should stop after review handoff instead of waiting for comments or merge.

Workflow

1. Build repository context first.

• Read the target repository AGENTS.md once per session. If you already loaded it earlier in this session and still have its full contents, reuse them instead of re-reading; if the context was summarized or you are unsure it is complete, read it again. Do not pre-load shared docs in this step; read them lazily only when the repository points to them.
• Read repository-specific docs when they exist, because they may extend or override shared guidance.
• Read shared docs only when the repository explicitly points to them. Resolve those shared docs from ${MPT_EXTENSION_SKILLS_HOME:-$HOME/.mpt-extension-skills}/current when available; otherwise read them from the main branch of the shared GitHub repository.

2. Bring documentation up to date for the change.

• Use mpt-ext-task-update-docs-from-changes against the uncommitted change set to map the change to affected documents and edit them. That task does not stage; then stage only those updated documentation files here so docs are validated and committed together with the change.
• The task no-ops when the change has no documentation impact, so this step is safe to always run.
• Call the task directly here; do not enter a separate documentation workflow, to avoid nested workflow loading and repeated context rebuilds.

3. Run repository validation.

• Use mpt-ext-task-run-repository-checks to execute the repository-required local validation flow for the current change scope.
• If repository checks or tests fail, hand the failing output to mpt-ext-task-fix-repository-check-failures once; that task owns the bounded fix-and-rerun loop. Do not re-loop it from here.
• Act on its returned outcome: continue only on fixed; on any other outcome stop and report the blocker, redirecting back to implementation when the work is not yet ready to publish.

4. Create the commit.

• Use mpt-ext-task-commit-changes to stage the intended files and create a repository-compliant commit.
• If the commit is blocked by automatic pre-commit hook failures or hook-generated file rewrites, hand control to mpt-ext-task-fix-pre-commit-failures once; that task owns the bounded fix-and-retry loop. Do not re-loop it from here.
• Act on its returned outcome: continue only on committed; on any other outcome stop and report the blocker.

5. Publish the branch for review.

• Push the committed branch before creating or updating the PR so review state is based on the published branch instead of unpublished local history. For a branch not yet published, use a normal push; when the commit was amended on an already-published branch, push with git push --force-with-lease (never a bare git push --force, which can clobber concurrent remote commits).
• Stop and report the blocker when branch push permissions, remote configuration, or branch protection prevent publication.

6. Open or update the pull request.

• Use mpt-ext-task-open-pull-request to create or update the PR for the current branch.
• Keep PR formatting, base-branch rules, and reporting format delegated to the task skill and repository docs.

7. Move Jira to Code Review.

• Use mpt-ext-task-move-jira-to-code-review after the PR is ready for review.
• Stop if the issue should not move to review yet.

8. Report the handoff clearly.

• State that the branch is now ready for review.
• Follow the reporting format defined by mpt-ext-task-open-pull-request so the user receives the PR URL, Jira item URL when available, and testing status in a compact final message.
• Surface blockers clearly when repository rules, Git push permissions, Jira workflow, GitHub permissions, or failing validation stop the flow.

Guardrails

• Never duplicate the lower-level instructions already owned by the task skills used in this workflow.
• Never skip repository-required validation before commit and PR creation.
• Never publish a change that affects documented behaviour without updating documentation first; delegate the update to mpt-ext-task-update-docs-from-changes.
• Never retry failing validation or pre-commit loops blindly without routing through the relevant failure-handling task.
• Never wrap a fix task that already owns its bounded loop in a second retry loop; invoke it once, consume its classified outcome, and stop on anything other than success.
• Never rely on unpublished local commits when opening or updating the review PR; publish the branch first.
• Never move Jira to Code Review without a review-ready PR.
• Never continue into review-comment or post-merge handling inside this workflow.
• Prefer the narrower task skill when the user request is only for one step of the workflow.

Expected Outcome

Completed implementation is validated, committed, published in a compliant PR, and handed off in Jira for review, with clear blocker reporting when any step cannot proceed.
