# Reconcile Beads Workflow

This skill reconciles beads that are in `in_review` status with their corresponding PRs. If a PR has been merged, the bead is closed.

## Prerequisites

- Custom status `in_review` must be configured: `bd config set status.custom "in_review"`
- Beads in `in_review` status should have a PR URL in their notes

## Workflow

### Step 1: Find beads in review

```bash
bd list --status=in_review
```

### Step 2: For each bead, check PR status

1. **Get the PR URL from bead notes**:
   ```bash
   bd show [BEAD_ID] --json | jq -r '.[0].notes'
   ```
   Note: `bd show --json` returns an array, so use `.[0]` to access the first element.
   Extract the PR URL (look for lines starting with "PR:" or containing pull request URLs).
   Extract the PR number: `echo "$NOTES" | grep -oP '/pulls/\K\d+'`

2. **Detect hosting provider**:
   - Run `git remote get-url origin`
   - If URL contains `github.com`, use `gh`; otherwise use `tea` (Gitea/Forgejo)

3. **Check PR status**:
   - For GitHub:
     ```bash
     gh pr view [PR_NUMBER] --json state,merged
     ```
   - For Gitea:
     ```bash
     tea pr list --state=closed
     ```
     Look for the PR number in the INDEX column with STATE "merged".
     Note: `tea pr view [PR_NUMBER]` lists all PRs, not a specific one. Use `tea pr list --state=closed` and look for your PR number in the results.

### Step 3: Close merged beads

If the PR is merged:
```bash
bd close [BEAD_ID] --reason="PR merged: [PR_URL]"
```

### Step 4: Report summary

Present results:

## Beads Reconciliation Summary

### Closed (PR Merged)
| Bead | PR | Title |
|------|-----|-------|
| beads-abc | #123 | Feature X |
| beads-xyz | #456 | Bug fix Y |

### Still in Review
| Bead | PR | Status | Title |
|------|-----|--------|-------|
| beads-def | #789 | Open | Feature Z |

### Issues Found
- beads-ghi: No PR URL found in notes
- beads-jkl: PR #999 not found (may have been deleted)
```

## Error Handling

- **Missing PR URL**: Skip the bead and report it
- **PR not found**: Report the error but continue with other beads
- **API errors**: Report and continue

## Notes

- This skill complements `/parallel_beads` which sets beads to `in_review` status
- Run this skill periodically or after merging PRs to keep beads in sync
- Beads with closed (but not merged) PRs are not automatically closed - they may need rework
