# Template: merge a PR (eligible reviewer only)

Copy, fill the `<...>` fields, and paste as the task prompt.

```text
Task: merge PR #<pr> for issue #<n> if it is eligible and checks pass.

Rules (llm-project-workflow):
- Only an eligible, NON-author reviewer merges. If authenticated user == PR
  author → STOP.
- Do not merge unless the PR is open, mergeable, and its checks/review pass.
- No force-merge, no bypassing branch protections.
- If the PR is closed but `merged=false`, STOP and run reconciliation. Do not clean up.

Steps:
1. Verify authenticated identity + active profile.
2. Confirm PR #<pr>: author (not you), state open, mergeable, review approved.
3. If any gate fails → STOP and report.
4. Merge with explicit confirmation (e.g. confirmation="MERGE PR <pr>"),
   optionally pinning the reviewed head SHA / changed-file set.
5. Confirm remote master now contains the merge commit.

Then run the cleanup template (worktree-cleanup.md):
- close/release issue #<n>, remove status:in-progress (if it cannot be removed, report why)
- delete remote branch, remove local branch + worktree folder
- fetch/prune; confirm main checkout is clean and current (0 0).

Handoff: reviewer identity, merge result + commit, cleanup done, issue closed, PR metadata state/merged flag/hash, remote master hash & Git content check.
