Run all quality checks (tests, lint, typecheck), fix failures, update the changelog, commit, push, and create/update the pull request or merge request.

Verify and Ship After implementing your changes, follow these steps to verify quality and ship the work. 1. Acceptance Criteria Validation (CRITICAL) Use the issue tracker get issue tool to fetch the current issue details. Extract ALL acceptance criteria from the issue description and verify each one is satisfied by the implementation. If no explicit criteria exist, validate against the implied requirements from the issue title and description. 2. Quality Checks Choose validation by changed behavior, risk, and existing coverage. Verification is required; new automated tests and a full suite run are not required for every change. Follow repository specific checks and CI gates where applicable. Direct verification — For routine release scripts, packaging/build metadata, CI, documentation, and instruction edits, prefer syntax checks, a safe dry run, artifact inspection, an isolated install smoke check, or a consistency review when those are sufficient. Record the command/result or review performed in the PR; no new test file or validation report is needed merely to show work. Automated tests — Run relevant existing tests. Add or retain a regression test only when it catches a concrete consequential failure and its protection justifies its maintenance. Examples include publishing the wrong artifact, unintentionally moving stable tags, or accepting invalid release evidence. Explain the failure each new test catches. Do not add brittle assertions on documentation wording or source text, tests that mirror implementation, or elaborate scaffolding for low risk edits. A script filename alone neither requires tests nor exempts consequential behavior from protection. Scope — Broaden testing when shared behavior, failures, or unresolved risk warrants it; do not automatically run the full suite or generate coverage reports. Once sufficient checks pass, stop repeating them unless changes or new evidence justify another run. Investigate relevant failures rather than retrying unchanged commands. Report any unresolved failures honestly. Lint, types, build — Run checks relevant to the changed files and required repository gates. Fix introduced failures. Review — Check correctness, scope, and maintainability, including whether proposed tests provide useful protection. Where the repository uses F1, apply its canonical skills/f1 test drive/SKILL.md applicability policy before invoking a drive or requesting evidence. Nonapplicable changes need proportionate checks and a brief PR note, without an F1 run or report. Do not infer an F1 requirement from this skill. Preserve existing safeguards for consequential failures. 3. Changelog Update Check if the project has changelog files: If changelog files exist, diff against the base branch to detect entries already added by this branch: Handling existing entries: If the diff shows this branch already added a changelog entry for the current issue (matching the issue identifier), update that entry in place (e.g., to add the PR/MR link or refine the description). Do NOT add a duplicate entry. If the diff shows this branch added changelog entries for a different issue or no entries at all, add a new entry. Adding or updating entries: Place entries under [Unreleased] in the appropriate subsection ( Added , Changed , Fixed , Removed ) Focus on end user impact — be concise but descriptive Include the Linear issue identifier and PR/MR link (format: ([ISSUE ID](linear url), [ NUMBER](PR OR MR URL)) ) Follow [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/) format 4. Commit and Push Stage all relevant changes (including changelog updates) Commit with clear, descriptive messages following the project's commit conventions Push to the remote repository 5. Create or Update PR/MR Determine the platform from the repository context ( <github url or <gitlab url in the issue context). Use the appropriate tool for the platform. GitHub (when <github url is present) GitLab (when <gitlab url is present) PR/MR Description Update the PR/MR with a comprehensive description: Assignee attribution : If <github username is available in the assignee context, add Assignee: @username ([Display Name](linear profile url)) at the top of the body. If only a linear profile URL is available, use Assignee: [Display Name](linear profile url) . Summary of changes, implementation approach, and testing performed Link to the Linear issue Cyrus marker : Include <! generated by cyrus as a hidden HTML comment at the end of the body Interaction tip : Add this at the end (before the marker), using the bot username from <github bot username or <gitlab bot username in the <agent context block of the system prompt. If <agent context is not present, default to cyrusagent : Remove any "WIP:" or "Draft:" prefix from the title. Check <agent guidance — only mark the PR/MR as ready if guidance does NOT specify keeping them as drafts. Verify the PR/MR targets the correct base branch from <base branch in the issue context.
