Gh Issue Fix Flow

Overview

Resolve a GitHub issue from intake through fix, validation, and push using gh, local edits, XcodeBuildMCP, and git.

Workflow

1) Intake and issue context

1. Use gh issue view <id> --repo <owner/repo> --comments to get the full issue context.
2. If the repo is unclear, run gh repo view --json nameWithOwner to confirm.
3. Capture reproduction steps, expected behavior, and any maintainer notes.

2) Locate the code path

1. Use rg -n to locate likely files and entry points.
2. Read the relevant code paths with sed -n or rg -n context.
3. Follow repo-specific conventions (AGENTS/CLAUDE instructions).

3) Implement the fix

1. Edit the minimal set of files.
2. Keep changes aligned with existing architecture and style.
3. Add tests when behavior changes and test coverage is practical.

4) Build and test

1. Use XcodeBuildMCP for required builds/tests:

• Set defaults once: mcp__XcodeBuildMCP__session-set-defaults.
• Build: mcp__XcodeBuildMCP__build_macos or mcp__XcodeBuildMCP__build_sim.
• Tests: prefer targeted schemes (e.g., mcp__XcodeBuildMCP__test_sim).

1. If macOS tests fail due to deployment target mismatches, run the equivalent iOS simulator tests.
2. Report warnings or failures; do not hide them.

5) Commit and push

1. Check for unrelated changes with git status --short.
2. Stage only the fix (exclude unrelated files).
3. Commit with a closing message: Fix … (closes #<issue>).
4. Push with git push.

6) Report back

1. Summarize what changed and where.
2. Provide test results (including failures).
3. Note any follow-ups or blocked items.
