IronClaw Workflow Orchestrator

Overview

Use this skill to install and maintain a complete project workflow as routines, not core code changes. It maps GitHub webhook events plus scheduled checks into plan/update/implement/review/merge loops with explicit staging-batch analysis.

Workflow

  1. Gather workflow parameters.
  2. Verify runtime prerequisites.
  3. Install or update routine set from templates.
  4. Run a dry test with event_emit.
  5. Monitor outcomes and tune prompts/filters.

Parameters

Collect these values before creating routines:

  • repository: owner/repo (required)
  • maintainers: GitHub handles allowed to trigger implement/replan actions
  • staging_branch: default staging
  • main_branch: default main
  • batch_interval_hours: default 8
  • implementation_label: default autonomous-impl

Prerequisites

Before installing routines, verify:

  • Routines system enabled.
  • GitHub tool authenticated (for issue/PR/comment/status operations).
  • GitHub webhook delivery configured to POST /webhook/tools/github.
  • Webhook HMAC secret configured in the secrets store as github_webhook_secret (required for GitHub webhook delivery).
  • Events can also be emitted via event_emit tool calls for testing or when webhook ingestion is not yet configured.

Install Procedure

  1. Open workflow-routines.md.
  2. For each template block:
  • replace placeholders ({{repository}}, {{maintainers}}, branch names)
  • call routine_create
  1. If a routine already exists:
  • use routine_update instead of creating duplicates
  • keep names stable so long-lived metrics/history stay intact
  1. Confirm install with routine_list and routine_history.

Routine Set

Install these routines:

  • wf-issue-plan: on issue.opened or issue.reopened, generate implementation plan comment/checklist.
  • wf-maintainer-comment-gate: on maintainer comments, decide update-plan vs start implementation.
  • wf-pr-monitor-loop: on PR open/sync/review-comment/review, address feedback and refresh branch.
  • wf-ci-fix-loop: on CI status/check failures, apply fixes and push updates.
  • wf-staging-batch-review: every 8h, review ready PRs, merge into staging, run deep batch correctness analysis, fix findings, then merge staging -> main.
  • wf-learning-memory: on merged PRs, extract mistakes/lessons and write to shared memory.

Event Filters

Prefer top-level filters for stability:

  • repository_name (string, e.g. owner/repo)
  • sender_login (string)
  • issue_number / pr_number
  • ci_status, ci_conclusion
  • review_state, comment_author

Use narrow filters to avoid accidental triggers across repos.

Operating Rules

  • All implementation work must occur on non-main branches.
  • PR loop must resolve both human and AI review comments.
  • On conflicts with origin/main, refresh branch before continuing.
  • Staging-batch routine is the only path for bulk correctness verification before mainline merge.
  • Memory update routine runs only after successful merge.

Validation

After install, run:

  1. event_emit with a synthetic issue.opened payload for the target repo.
  2. Confirm at least one routine fired.
  3. Check corresponding routine_history entries.
  4. Confirm no unrelated routines fired.

When To Update Templates

Update this skill when:

  • GitHub event names/payload fields change.
  • Team review policy changes (e.g., staging cadence, maintainer gates).
  • New CI policy requires different failure routing.
