Every task completed by a build agent produces a pull request. The AI never pushes directly to main — you always have the opportunity to review, request changes, or reject code before it’s merged.

PR Workflow

What Each PR Contains

  • Feature branch — Named after the task (e.g., predev/setup-user-auth)
  • Implementation code — All files created or modified for the task
  • Tests — Unit tests covering the new functionality
  • Diff summary — Clear view of what changed and why
  • Verification status — All acceptance criteria results

Branch Strategy

pre.dev follows a clean branch strategy: Each task gets its own feature branch. You can merge them individually or batch them.

Reviewing PRs

When reviewing agent-generated PRs:
  1. Check the diff — Verify the implementation matches what you expected
  2. Review acceptance results — All automated checks should show PASSED
  3. Test locally (optional) — Pull the branch and run it yourself
  4. Merge or request changes — If something’s off, the agent can iterate

Merge Strategies

You control how PRs are merged:
  • Merge immediately — For tasks you’re confident about
  • Batch merge — Let several PRs accumulate, review them together, merge in order
  • Cherry-pick — Merge only specific PRs while skipping or reworking others

Code Quality

Because every PR passes acceptance verification before it’s opened, you’re reviewing verified, working code — not hoping it compiles.
  • Types compile cleanly
  • Linting rules pass
  • Tests pass
  • UI renders correctly (for frontend tasks)

PR History

Your project’s PR history serves as a detailed log of how the codebase was built:
  • Each PR maps to a specific task in the spec
  • PRs are opened in milestone order
  • The commit history tells the story of the project’s construction
This makes it easy to understand why any piece of code exists — trace it back to the task and user story in the spec.
