Problem

The code-review-fix skill's PR template used in commit messages and checkbox sections in PR bodies. GitHub's auto-close only reliably works when appears as a standalone keyword line in the PR body. This caused issue #69 to stay open after PR #103 was merged (the body said Fixes #67 and #69 — GitHub only recognized the first).

Changes

  • Added a critical format table documenting which Fixes keyword patterns work vs silently fail
  • Changed PR body template to put Fixes #<number> on its own line
  • Added Step 4b: post-merge verification to catch failed auto-closes
  • Added Closing Orphaned Issues section with procedure to find and close missed issues
  • Updated Safety Rules to enforce standalone Fixes #N lines
  • Added orphaned issue detection to Quick Reference Commands

Fixes #115

- Add critical guidance on Fixes #N keyword placement in PR bodies
- GitHub only recognizes standalone Fixes #N lines, not embedded in prose
- Add post-merge verification step to catch failed auto-closes
- Add orphaned issues section with procedure to find and close them
- Update PR body template to include Fixes #N on its own line
- Document known failure patterns (comma-separated, 'and' lists)
