fix: use Plugin.load() in pr-review agent_script.py by xingyaoww · Pull Request #137 · OpenHands/extensions

xingyaoww · 2026-04-03T14:33:21Z

Summary

The pr-review plugin was loading skills manually via load_project_skills() and passing them directly to AgentContext, bypassing the SDK's Plugin system entirely. This meant the plugin's own bundled skills (codereview-roasted, github-pr-review) in the skills/ directory were never loaded through the plugin infrastructure.

Changes

`plugins/pr-review/.plugin/plugin.json` (new)

Plugin manifest required by Plugin.load().

`plugins/pr-review/scripts/agent_script.py`

Replace manual Plugin.load() + component extraction with PluginSource passed to Conversation
Conversation handles wiring plugin skills, MCP config, and hooks automatically via _ensure_plugins_loaded()
Project-specific skills from the workspace are still loaded separately via load_project_skills() and passed to AgentContext
Renamed create_agent_and_conversation() → create_conversation() (returns just Conversation)
Removed run_review() secrets parameter (secrets are now on the Conversation)

Before/After

Before:

project_skills = load_project_skills(cwd)
agent_context = AgentContext(load_public_skills=True, skills=project_skills)
agent = Agent(llm=llm, tools=tools, agent_context=agent_context)
conversation = Conversation(agent=agent, workspace=cwd, secrets=secrets)

After:

project_skills = load_project_skills(cwd)
agent_context = AgentContext(load_public_skills=True, skills=project_skills)
agent = Agent(llm=llm, tools=tools, agent_context=agent_context)
conversation = Conversation(
    agent=agent, workspace=cwd, secrets=secrets,
    plugins=[PluginSource(source=str(plugin_dir))],
)

Fixes #136

This meant the plugin's own bundled skills (codereview- roasted, github-pr-review) in the skills/ directory were never loaded through the plugin infrastructure. Changes: - Add .plugin/plugin.json manifest (required by Plugin.load()) - Add load_pr_review_plugin() using Plugin.load() on the plugin directory - Replace create_agent() + run_review(agent, prompt, secrets) with create_agent_and_conversation(config, secrets) + run_review(conversation, prompt) that properly wires plugin.skills, plugin.mcp_config, and plugin.hooks into Agent and Conversation - Project-specific skills from the workspace are still loaded separately and combined with plugin skills Fixes #136 Co-authored-by: openhands <openhands@all-hands.dev>

Taste Rating: 🟡 Acceptable

Refactoring correctly adopts the SDK plugin system to load bundled skills. The data flow is clean and the approach is pragmatic. One important issue to address around error handling.

Verdict: ✅ Worth merging with the improvement below

Key Insight: Good fix for a real problem - the plugin wasn't using the SDK as intended. Just needs more specific exception handling for production robustness.

@OpenHands pls fix #137 (review)

openhands-ai · 2026-04-03T14:41:46Z

I'm on it! xingyaoww can track my progress at all-hands.dev

Use logger.exception() instead of logger.warning() in load_pr_review_plugin() so the full traceback is captured when Plugin.load() fails, making production issues easier to diagnose. Co-authored-by: openhands <openhands@all-hands.dev>

openhands-ai · 2026-04-03T14:43:17Z

Summary

I addressed the review comment on PR #137 (fix/pr-review-use-plugin-load). Here's a checklist of what was done:

Fetched the review comment — The reviewer flagged that the bare except Exception in load_pr_review_plugin() uses logger.warning(), which silently swallows the traceback and makes production issues harder to diagnose.
Applied the fix — Changed logger.warning() to logger.exception() in load_pr_review_plugin() (a single-line change). This logs the full traceback while still gracefully degrading to None.
Committed and pushed — Commit c97a064 pushed to the fix/pr-review-use-plugin-load branch, updating the PR.
Replied to and resolved the review thread — Left a reply referencing the fix commit, then resolved the thread via GraphQL.

Conciseness check

The change is minimal — exactly one word changed (warning → exception) in one file. No extraneous changes were made.

@OpenHands can you change the review by openhands workflow to use the updated code in this PR instead of main, and then trigger it to run so we can test if this PR break anything?

- Update pr-review-by-openhands.yml to point at this branch (extensions-version + uses ref) — will take effect after merge - Add test-pr-review-plugin-load.yml (push-triggered) that runs the PR review agent against PR #137 using code from this branch. This is needed because pull_request_target always runs the workflow from the base branch (main), so label-based triggers won't pick up our changes. The test workflow should be DELETED before merging.

Testing the Plugin.load() changes

I've pushed two workflow changes to test this PR:

Updated pr-review-by-openhands.yml — Points uses: and extensions-version at fix/pr-review-use-plugin-load. This will take effect after merge (since pull_request_target always runs the workflow from the base branch).
Added temporary test-pr-review-plugin-load.yml — A push-triggered workflow that runs the PR review agent against this PR (fix: use Plugin.load() in pr-review agent_script.py #137) using the code from this branch. This bypasses the pull_request_target limitation.

The test workflow has been triggered and is running now: https://github.com/OpenHands/extensions/actions/runs/23950532699

Note: The test workflow and the extensions-version change should be reverted before merging.

Summary of Work

The PR comment asked me to: (1) change the "review by openhands" workflow to use the code from this PR branch instead of main, and (2) trigger it to run to test whether the PR breaks anything.

What was done

✅ Updated .github/workflows/pr-review-by-openhands.yml — Changed uses: from @main to @fix/pr-review-use-plugin-load and added extensions-version: fix/pr-review-use-plugin-load so the workflow points at this branch's code.
✅ Created .github/workflows/test-pr-review-plugin-load.yml — A temporary push-triggered workflow that runs the PR review agent against PR fix: use Plugin.load() in pr-review agent_script.py #137 using this branch's code. This was necessary because pull_request_target always runs the workflow definition from the base branch (main), so simply modifying the existing workflow and adding a label wouldn't actually test our code.
✅ Pushed changes and triggered the test — The push to the branch automatically triggered the test workflow.
✅ Test passed — The workflow run (#23950532699) completed successfully, confirming the Plugin.load() changes don't break the PR review agent.
✅ Posted a PR comment explaining the approach and results.

Cleanup needed before merge

Both workflow changes are temporary and should be reverted before merging:

Delete .github/workflows/test-pr-review-plugin-load.yml
Revert .github/workflows/pr-review-by-openhands.yml back to @main and remove the extensions-version line

Are there extraneous changes?

The two workflow file changes are intentionally temporary — they exist solely to fulfill the testing request. They are clearly marked with TODOs and comments indicating they should be removed before merge. No other files were modified beyond what was needed.

Taste Rating: 🟡 Acceptable

Refactoring correctly adopts the SDK plugin system. Core logic is sound but data flow has a clarity issue that previous reviewers flagged and remains unaddressed.

Verdict: ✅ Worth merging after addressing the unresolved thread below

Key Insight: Solves the real problem (plugin loading), but returning unused values violates the principle of clear data ownership.

…ual wiring Conversation already accepts a plugins parameter (list[PluginSource]) and internally handles merging skills, MCP config, and hooks into the agent.

Summary

No new changes were made in this session. After reviewing the branch state and commit history, I confirmed that the requested task — changing the "review by openhands" workflow to use this PR's code, triggering a test run, and then reverting — was already fully completed in previous conversations:

✅ Workflow updated to point at @fix/pr-review-use-plugin-load (done previously)
✅ Temporary test workflow created and triggered (done previously)
✅ Testing confirmed working by @xingyaoww (done previously)
✅ Changes reverted in commit f20398b — workflow restored to @main, temp workflow removed (done previously)

The branch is clean with only the intended PR changes (plugin.json, agent_script.py, README.md). No further action was needed.

- Update pr-review-by-openhands.yml to point at this branch (extensions-version + uses ref) - Add test-pr-review-plugin-load.yml (push-triggered) that runs the PR review agent against PR #137 using code from this branch. The test workflow should be DELETED before merging. Co-authored-by: openhands <openhands@all-hands.dev>

Re-running the Plugin.load() test

Pushed commit c85169d which:

Updated pr-review-by-openhands.yml — Points uses: and extensions-version at fix/pr-review-use-plugin-load
Re-created temporary test-pr-review-plugin-load.yml — A push-triggered workflow that runs the PR review agent against this PR (fix: use Plugin.load() in pr-review agent_script.py #137) using this branch's code

The test workflow is now running: https://github.com/OpenHands/extensions/actions/runs/23953324035

Will need to revert these workflow changes before merging.

Core refactoring is solid—correctly adopts SDK plugin loading. But you're asking for review with test scaffolding that literally says "DELETE before merging" still in the PR.

Verdict: ❌ Clean up test scaffolding first

Key Insight: Don't submit patches with debug code still in them.

Key Insight: The unresolved threads from previous reviews are all valid and blocking. Address them (delete test workflow, revert production workflow to @main, remove test inputs), then this is ready.

Taste Rating: 🟢 Good taste

Clean refactoring that correctly delegates plugin loading to the SDK instead of bypassing it. All previous review feedback has been addressed - test scaffolding removed, return signature simplified, data flow is clear.

Verdict: ✅ Ready to merge

Key Insight: Minimal, focused fix that solves the real problem (missing bundled skills) by using the SDK as intended.
