fork-manager
Manage forks with open PRs - sync upstream, rebase branches, track PR status, and maintain production branches with pending contributions. Use when syncing forks, rebasing PR branches, building production branches that combine all open PRs, reviewing closed/rejected PRs, or managing local patches kept outside upstream.

About this skill
Fork Manager Skill
Manage forks where you contribute PRs but also use improvements before they're merged upstream. Includes support for local patches — fixes kept in the production branch even when the upstream PR was closed/rejected.
When to use
- Sync a fork with upstream
- Check status of open PRs
- Rebase PR branches onto latest upstream
- Build a production branch combining all open PRs + local patches
- Review recently closed/rejected PRs and decide whether to keep locally
- Manage local patches (fixes not submitted or rejected upstream)
When NOT to use
- General GitHub queries (issues, PRs, CI status on any repo) → use
githubskill instead - Triaging/ranking/prioritizing issues → use
issue-prioritizerskill instead - Reviewing code changes before publishing a PR → use
pr-reviewskill instead - Creating new PRs from scratch (not fork sync) → use
gh pr createdirectly
Execution Model — Orchestrator + Worker
A skill NUNCA deve ser executada inline pelo agente principal. Sempre usar o padrão orchestrator/worker:
Fluxo
- Orchestrator (agente principal) — prepara o contexto e spawna um subagente:
sessions_spawn( task: "<prompt completo com contexto do repo, config, último history>", model: "<model adequado>", mode: "run" ) - Worker (subagente) — executa o full-sync/status/rebase/etc. Lê a SKILL.md, segue o fluxo, escreve history.
- Monitoramento — o orchestrator checa progresso a cada 4 minutos via
sessions_list/sessions_history:- Se o worker estiver ativo e progredindo → aguarda
- Se o worker estiver parado/travado (sem output novo por 2 checks consecutivos) →
subagents kill+ spawna novo worker - Se o worker completou → lê o resultado e reporta ao usuário
- Fallback — se o worker falhar (crash, timeout, erro):
- Orchestrator verifica o estado do repo (
git status, último checkpoint) - Spawna novo worker com contexto atualizado incluindo o ponto onde parou
- Máximo de 2 retries antes de reportar falha ao usuário
- Orchestrator verifica o estado do repo (
Contexto para o Worker
O orchestrator deve incluir no prompt do worker:
- Path da SKILL.md (para o worker ler e seguir)
- Config do repo (inline ou path)
- Última entrada do history (resumo ou path)
- Modo de execução (full-sync, status, rebase-all, etc.)
- Se é cron mode ou manual
- Quaisquer instruções específicas do usuário
Por que subagente?
- Resiliência: se o worker falha, o orchestrator pode recuperar
- Context window: a skill é pesada (145+ PRs = muito output). O worker gasta seu context sem poluir o agente principal
- Paralelismo futuro: permite spawnar workers para repos diferentes simultaneamente
Cron Mode
When invoked by a cron job (automated recurring sync), follow these guidelines for efficient execution:
- Skip interactive prompts — auto-resolve decisions that don't require human input:
- Rebases: attempt automatically, report failures
- Closed PRs: report but defer decision (don't drop or keep without human input)
- Audit findings: report but don't act
- Compact output — use the summary format, not full verbose report:
🍴 Fork Sync Complete — <repo> Main: synced N commits (old_sha → new_sha) PRs: X open, Y changed state - Rebased: A/B clean (C conflicts) Production: rebuilt clean | N conflicts Notable upstream: [1-3 bullet highlights] - Checkpoint on failure — if a rebase fails or production build has conflicts, write state to
repos/<name>/checkpoint.jsonso the next run (or manual invocation) can resume - Time budget — target <10 minutes total. If rebasing 20+ PRs, batch push at the end instead of per-branch
Configuration
Configs are organized per repository in repos/<repo-name>/config.json relative to the skill directory:
fork-manager/
├── SKILL.md
└── repos/
├── project-a/
│ └── config.json
└── project-b/
└── config.json
Formato do config.json:
{
"repo": "owner/repo",
"fork": "your-user/repo",
"localPath": "/path/to/local/clone",
"mainBranch": "main",
"productionBranch": "main-with-all-prs",
"upstreamRemote": "upstream",
"forkRemote": "origin",
"autoResolveConflicts": false,
"openPRs": [123, 456],
"prBranches": {
"123": "fix/issue-123",
"456": "feat/feature-456"
},
"localPatches": {
"local/my-custom-fix": {
"description": "Breve descrição do que o patch faz",
"originalPR": 789,
"closedReason": "rejected|superseded|duplicate|wontfix",
"keepReason": "Motivo pelo qual mantemos localmente",
"addedAt": "2026-02-07T00:00:00Z",
"reviewDate": "2026-03-07T00:00:00Z"
}
},
"lastSync": "2026-01-28T12:00:00Z",
"notes": {
"mergedUpstream": {},
"closedWithoutMerge": {},
"droppedPatches": {}
}
}
Resolução automática de conflitos (autoResolveConflicts)
A resolução automática pode ser ativada de duas formas (qualquer uma basta):
- Flag de invocação (ad-hoc, por execução):
/fork-manager --auto-resolve /fork-manager full-sync --auto-resolve - Config persistente (sempre ativo pra aquele repo):
{ "autoResolveConflicts": true }
| Fonte | Comportamento |
|---|---|
| Nenhuma (default) | Conflitos são reportados mas não resolvidos. Relatório inclui "⚠️ Conflitos requerem aval do desenvolvedor." |
--auto-resolve OU config.autoResolveConflicts: true | Spawna subagentes Opus para resolver conflitos. Resultados classificados como trivial/semântico/irresolvível. |
Precedência: --auto-resolve na invocação ativa a resolução mesmo se o config diz false. Não existe --no-auto-resolve — se o config diz true e o usuário não quer resolver, basta não rodar o passo manualmente.
Para usuários do ClawHub: basta passar --auto-resolve no comando. Nenhuma configuração de repo necessária.
Campos de localPatches
Cada entry em localPatches é uma branch local mantida na production branch mas sem PR aberto no upstream.
| Campo | Descrição |
|---|---|
description | O que o patch faz |
originalPR | Número do PR original que foi fechado (opcional se criado direto como patch) |
closedReason | Por que o PR foi fechado: rejected (mantenedor recusou), superseded (outro PR resolve parcialmente mas não totalmente), duplicate (fechamos nós mesmos), wontfix (upstream não vai resolver) |
keepReason | Por que precisamos manter localmente |
addedAt | Data em que foi convertido para local patch |
reviewDate | Data para reavaliar se ainda é necessário (upstream pode ter resolvido) |
Histórico de Execuções
Cada repositório gerenciado tem um arquivo history.md que registra todas as execuções da skill como um livro de registro append-only:
fork-manager/
└── repos/
├── project-a/
│ ├── config.json
│ └── history.md
└── project-b/
├── config.json
└── history.md
Regra: Ler último output antes de começar
Antes de qualquer operação, ler o history.md do repositório alvo e extrair a última entrada (último bloco ---). Isso dá contexto sobre:
- O que foi feito na última execução
- Quais PRs tinham problemas
- Quais decisões foram tomadas
- Se ficou alguma ação pendente
# Ler última entrada do history (tudo após o último "---")
tail -n +$(grep -n '^---$' "$SKILL_DIR/repos/<repo-name>/history.md" | tail -1 | cut -d: -f1) "$SKILL_DIR/repos/<repo-name>/history.md"
Se o arquivo não existir, criar com o header e prosseguir normalmente.
Regra: Registrar output ao finalizar
Ao final de toda execução, fazer append ao history.md com o resultado completo. Formato:
---
## YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC | <comando>
**Operator:** <claude-code | openclaw-agent | manual>
### Summary
- Main: <status do sync>
- PRs: <X open, Y merged, Z closed, W reopened>
- Local Patches: <N total, M com review vencida>
- Production: <rebuilt OK | not rebuilt | build failed>
### Actions Taken
- <lista de ações executadas, ex: "Synced main (was 12 commits behind)">
- <"Rebased 21/21 branches clean">
- <"PR #999 closed → kept as local patch local/my-fix">
- <"PR #777 reopened → restored to openPRs (was in droppedPatches)">
### Pending
- <ações que ficaram pendentes, ex: "PR #456 has conflicts — needs manual resolution">
- <"3 local patches with expired reviewDate — run review-patches">
### Full Report
<o relatório completo que seria mostrado ao usuário, colado aqui na íntegra>
Importante: O bloco Full Report contém o relatório completo sem abreviação. Isso garante que o próximo agente que ler o history tenha toda a informação, não apenas o resumo.
Fluxo de Análise
1. Carregar config e histórico
Resolve the skill directory (where SKILL.md lives):
# SKILL_DIR is the directory containing this SKILL.md
# Resolve it relative to the agent's workspace or skill install path
SKILL_DIR="<path-to-fork-manager-skill>"
# Load config for the target repo
cat "$SKILL_DIR/repos/<repo-name>/config.json"
# Ler último output do history para contexto
HISTORY="$SKILL_DIR/repos/<repo-name>/history.md"
if [ -f "$HISTORY" ]; then
# Extrair última entrada (após último ---)
LAST_SEP=$(grep -n '^---$' "$HISTORY" | tail -1 | cut -d: -f1)
if [ -n "$LAST_SEP" ]; then
tail -n +"$LAST_SEP" "$HISTORY"
fi
fi
2. Navegar para o repositório
cd <localPath>
3. Fetch de ambos remotes
git fetch <upstreamRemote>
git fetch <originRemote>
4. Analisar estado do main
# Commits que upstream tem e origin/main não tem
git log --oneline <originRemote>/<mainBranch>..<upstreamRemote>/<mainBranch>
# Contar commits atrás
git rev-list --count <originRemote>/<mainBranch>..<upstreamRemote>/<mainBranch>
5. Verificar PRs abertos via GitHub CLI
# Listar PRs abertos do usuário
gh pr list --state open --author

Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports both text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing with configurable resolution (1K default, 2K, or 4K for high resolution). DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.
pdf-to-markdown
aliceisjustplaying
Convert entire PDF documents to clean, structured Markdown for full context loading. Use this skill when the user wants to extract ALL text from a PDF into context (not grep/search), when discussing or analyzing PDF content in full, when the user mentions "load the whole PDF", "bring the PDF into context", "read the entire PDF", or when partial extraction/grepping would miss important context. This is the preferred method for PDF text extraction over page-by-page or grep approaches.
