Skills
This directory holds reusable "skills" — structured guidance and tooling that an AI coding assistant can load on demand, and that humans can read directly. The skills here focus on pull-request quality: making the high-quality path the easy path so PRs land traceable, tested, and safe to merge.
These skills are advisory. They help you author, review, and pre-merge gate a PR, but they do not approve or block on their own and never post to GitHub or Jira without your explicit approval.
PR-quality skills
| Skill | Use it when |
|---|---|
rocm-pr-quality/ |
Authoring, reviewing, or pre-merge gating any ROCm-library PR. This is the library-agnostic base — always start here. See SKILL.md and the detailed rubric in reference.md. |
therock-pr-quality/ |
A PR touches TheRock build repo: the superbuild / cmake/ / THEROCK_ENABLE_* options, submodules and patches, artifact-*.toml / BUILD_TOPOLOGY.toml, or reusable CI workflows. Extends the base — read the base first. See SKILL.md. |
Each skill exposes three actions you invoke in one sentence:
- Author assist — "help me write a PR worth reviewing."
- Review assist — "help me review this PR well."
- Pre-merge gate — "is it actually safe to press merge right now?"
Component repositories add their own thin overlays on top (for example, hipblaslt-pr-quality in
rocm-libraries). Overlays may tighten but never weaken the base rules.
Related automated check
therock_pr_bot/ is the enforcement counterpart to the advisory skills: an
automated policy check (branch-name convention, Conventional Commits PR title, and similar) defined in
policy.yml. FAQ.md explains what each check
means and how to fix a failure.
