Swarm PR - Managing Swarms through Pull Requests

Overview

Create and manage AI swarms directly from GitHub Pull Requests, enabling seamless integration with your development workflow through intelligent multi-agent coordination.

Core Features

1. PR-Based Swarm Creation

# Create swarm from PR description using gh CLI
gh pr view 123 --json body,title,labels,files | npx ruv-swarm swarm create-from-pr

# Auto-spawn agents based on PR labels
gh pr view 123 --json labels | npx ruv-swarm swarm auto-spawn

# Create swarm with PR context
gh pr view 123 --json body,labels,author,assignees | \
  npx ruv-swarm swarm init --from-pr-data

2. PR Comment Commands

Execute swarm commands via PR comments:

<!-- In PR comment -->
/swarm init mesh 6
/swarm spawn coder "Implement authentication"
/swarm spawn tester "Write unit tests"
/swarm status

3. Automated PR Workflows

# .github/workflows/swarm-pr.yml
name: Swarm PR Handler
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, labeled]
  issue_comment:
    types: [created]

jobs:
  swarm-handler:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Handle Swarm Command
        run: |
          if [[ "${{ github.event.comment.body }}" == /swarm* ]]; then
            npx ruv-swarm github handle-comment \
              --pr ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }} \
              --comment "${{ github.event.comment.body }}"
          fi

PR Label Integration

Automatic Agent Assignment

Map PR labels to agent types:

{
  "label-mapping": {
    "bug": ["debugger", "tester"],
    "feature": ["architect", "coder", "tester"],
    "refactor": ["analyst", "coder"],
    "docs": ["researcher", "writer"],
    "performance": ["analyst", "optimizer"]
  }
}

Label-Based Topology

# Small PR (< 100 lines): ring topology
# Medium PR (100-500 lines): mesh topology  
# Large PR (> 500 lines): hierarchical topology
npx ruv-swarm github pr-topology --pr 123

PR Swarm Commands

Initialize from PR

# Create swarm with PR context using gh CLI
PR_DIFF=$(gh pr diff 123)
PR_INFO=$(gh pr view 123 --json title,body,labels,files,reviews)

npx ruv-swarm github pr-init 123 \
  --auto-agents \
  --pr-data "$PR_INFO" \
  --diff "$PR_DIFF" \
  --analyze-impact

Progress Updates

# Post swarm progress to PR using gh CLI
PROGRESS=$(npx ruv-swarm github pr-progress 123 --format markdown)

gh pr comment 123 --body "$PROGRESS"

# Update PR labels based on progress
if [[ $(echo "$PROGRESS" | grep -o '[0-9]\+%' | sed 's/%//') -gt 90 ]]; then
  gh pr edit 123 --add-label "ready-for-review"
fi

Code Review Integration

# Create review agents with gh CLI integration
PR_FILES=$(gh pr view 123 --json files --jq '.files[].path')

# Run swarm review
REVIEW_RESULTS=$(npx ruv-swarm github pr-review 123 \
  --agents "security,performance,style" \
  --files "$PR_FILES")

# Post review comments using gh CLI
echo "$REVIEW_RESULTS" | jq -r '.comments[]' | while read -r comment; do
  FILE=$(echo "$comment" | jq -r '.file')
  LINE=$(echo "$comment" | jq -r '.line')
  BODY=$(echo "$comment" | jq -r '.body')
  
  gh pr review 123 --comment --body "$BODY"
done

Advanced Features

1. Multi-PR Swarm Coordination

# Coordinate swarms across related PRs
npx ruv-swarm github multi-pr \
  --prs "123,124,125" \
  --strategy "parallel" \
  --share-memory

2. PR Dependency Analysis

# Analyze PR dependencies
npx ruv-swarm github pr-deps 123 \
  --spawn-agents \
  --resolve-conflicts

3. Automated PR Fixes

# Auto-fix PR issues
npx ruv-swarm github pr-fix 123 \
  --issues "lint,test-failures" \
  --commit-fixes

Best Practices

1. PR Templates

<!-- .github/pull_request_template.md -->
## Swarm Configuration
- Topology: [mesh/hierarchical/ring/star]
- Max Agents: [number]
- Auto-spawn: [yes/no]
- Priority: [high/medium/low]

## Tasks for Swarm
- [ ] Task 1 description
- [ ] Task 2 description

2. Status Checks

# Require swarm completion before merge
required_status_checks:
  contexts:
    - "swarm/tasks-complete"
    - "swarm/tests-pass"
    - "swarm/review-approved"

3. PR Merge Automation

# Auto-merge when swarm completes using gh CLI
# Check swarm completion status
SWARM_STATUS=$(npx ruv-swarm github pr-status 123)

if [[ "$SWARM_STATUS" == "complete" ]]; then
  # Check review requirements
  REVIEWS=$(gh pr view 123 --json reviews --jq '.reviews | length')
  
  if [[ $REVIEWS -ge 2 ]]; then
    # Enable auto-merge
    gh pr merge 123 --auto --squash
  fi

Questions about swarm-pr.

Which coding agents can use swarm-pr?
swarm-pr installs in Claude Code and Cursor: each loads subagents from .claude/agents, so copy the file there. Flowy's auto-invocation runs in Claude Code only.
