Address Findings

Fix and resolve the open review findings on an Entire trail. A finding is a review comment posted to a trail on entire.io: it has a file/line location, a body, a severity, and sometimes a suggested unified-diff patch. This skill fetches the open findings, applies or hand-fixes each one in the current worktree, and marks it resolved on the trail.

When to use / not use

Use when the user points at a trail — a URL like https://<host>/<forge>/<owner>/<repo>/trails/<number>/<slug>, or a bare trail number or branch — and asks to address / fix / resolve its findings or review comments.

Do not use this skill for:

• A code review of the current diff — that is the review skill (read-only).
• Creating new findings — use entire trail finding add.

Response Format

Begin the first response to this skill invocation with the line:

Entire Address Findings:

followed by a blank line, then the content. Apply the header to the first response only. Omit it on error / early-exit responses (CLI missing, not authenticated, trail not found, branch mismatch, no open findings).

Rules

1. Make the smallest correct change that addresses each finding. Do not expand scope.
2. Only mark a finding resolved when you actually addressed it. If a finding is

ambiguous or needs a human decision, leave it open and report it.

1. Do not commit or push. Leave changes in the working tree for the user to review.
2. Never weaken a test or assertion just to clear a finding.

Process

1. Verify the CLI

Run entire version. If the command is not found, stop and tell the user: "The Entire CLI is required but not installed. Install it from https://entire.io/docs/cli and try again."

2. Resolve the trail selector

• If the argument is a trail URL, take the number from the /trails/<number>/

path segment and use that number.

• If it is a bare trail number, id, or branch name, use it as-is.
• If you cannot determine a trail, stop and ask the user for the trail URL or number.

Use this value as the <trail> selector for every command below. entire trail accepts a trail number, id, or branch name interchangeably, so no number lookup is needed — a branch name works directly.

3. Fetch open findings

entire trail finding list <trail> --json --status open

• If the output reports that authentication is required, stop and tell the user:

"entire trail finding list requires authentication. Run entire login and try again."

• If the trail finding subcommand is unavailable, or the API reports the

feature is not enabled, stop and tell the user that trail findings may not be enabled for this account or repository. Do not invent findings.

• Parse the JSON. Each finding has an id, a severity, a status, a body, a

location (file path + line range), and may include a suggested change (a unified diff).

• If there are no open findings, report "No open findings on this trail." and stop.

4. Branch guard (you must be on the trail's branch)

entire trail finding apply edits the local worktree, so you must be on the trail's branch before changing files.

git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD                # current branch
entire trail list --json --status any -n 200   # locate the trail's branch

Find the trail whose number or branch matches your selector and read its branch.

• If the trail's branch differs from the current branch, stop and tell the user:

"Trail <trail> targets branch <trail-branch>, but you are on <current-branch>. Check it out first (entire trail checkout <trail>) and re-run." Do not edit files.

• If you cannot find the trail in the list (e.g. pagination), do not hard-fail:

warn that you could not verify the branch, and ask the user to confirm they are on the trail's branch before you continue.

5. Address each finding

Process findings highest severity first (high → medium → low). For each:

1. If it has a suggested unified-diff change, dry-run it first:

``bash entire trail finding apply <trail> <finding-id> --check ``

If it applies cleanly, apply and resolve in one step:

``bash entire trail finding apply <trail> <finding-id> --resolve ``

1. Otherwise (no patch, the patch conflicts, or the fix needs reasoning):

read the finding body, open the file at its location, and make the smallest correct edit that addresses it. If a fast, relevant local check exists for the touched code (a build or a focused test), run it. Then resolve:

``bash entire trail finding resolve <trail> <finding-id> -m "<one line: what you changed>" ``

1. If you cannot confidently address it (ambiguous, needs a product/design

decision, or out of scope): leave it open, do not resolve it, and record it for the report.

6. Report

Summarize:

• Resolved via suggested patch — list finding ids and files.
• Resolved via manual edit — list finding ids, files, and a one-line of what changed.
• Left open for your decision — list finding ids and why.
• Any errors encountered.

Remind the user the changes are uncommitted and ready for review.

Failure modes

• CLI not installed → install message (step 1).
• Not authenticated → "entire trail finding list requires authentication. Run entire login and try again."
• Trail findings not enabled / API error → tell the user the feature may be

unavailable; do not fabricate findings.

• Trail not found → tell the user to check the URL or number; suggest

entire trail list --status any.

• Wrong branch → stop with the checkout instruction (step 4).
• Patch does not apply → fall back to a manual edit; if you cannot fix it

confidently, leave the finding open and report it.

• Not a git repository → stop and tell the user to run from inside the trail's repo.
