shepherd-driver

shepherd-driver is a Pull requests & shipping skill for AI agents, published by microsoft in the apm repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates shepherd-driver D (69/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Use only as the composed drive-to-merge stage of an APM batch orchestrator (batch-bug-shepherd, apm-issue-autopilot) that has already selected ONE open pull request in microsoft/apm. Do NOT use for user-facing requests to triage issues, sweep a queue, or open PRs -- the parent orchestrator owns those. Spawn one shepherd-driver subagent per PR: it classifies copilot-pull-request-reviewer[bot] inline review, runs the apm-review-panel, folds (by default) every recommendation inside the PR's stated scope, pushes to the head branch or a superseding PR that preserves authorship via commit trailers, watches CI to green, and iterates under fixed caps until ready-to-merge, advisory-with-deferred, superseded, or blocked. Also provides the cross-PR conflict-resolution and mergeability-gate phase. This is NOT a standalone entrypoint.
