Eduard van Valkenburg 7e9c043c4c Python: Improve PR template and breaking-change label automation (#6473)
* Improve PR template and breaking-change label automation

- Add a structured "Related Issue" section using GitHub closing keywords
- Add a Review Guide prompt (major changes, impact, reviewer focus) with a
  note that the focus item is for human reviewers only
- Add checklist items for issue linkage / no duplicate PRs and invert the
  breaking-change item (checked = not breaking)
- Extend label-title-prefix to prepend [BREAKING] when the "breaking change"
  label is added
- Add label-breaking-change workflow to apply the "breaking change" label
  when a PR title contains [BREAKING]

* Add pull-requests agent skill with dotnet/python links

- Add root .github/skills/pull-requests/SKILL.md covering PR description
  authoring (following the PR template) and the review-comment workflow
  (review -> plan -> user review -> implement -> reply to all -> resolve)
- Symlink the skill from python/.github/skills and dotnet/.github/skills
- Reference the skill from python/AGENTS.md and dotnet/AGENTS.md

* Fold breaking-change labeling into label-pr workflow

Move the title -> 'breaking change' label logic into the existing label-pr
workflow (which already applies the python/.NET labels) and drop the separate
label-breaking-change workflow.

* Scope title-prefix normalization to a real prefix

The normalization branch in addTitlePrefix matched ^Python (no colon), so
titles like "Python samples improvements" or "Pythonic refactor" were treated
as already-prefixed and only re-cased, never receiving the "Python: " prefix.
Scope the match to ^<prefix>:\s* so only an actual existing prefix is
normalized; otherwise the prefix is prepended. Same fix applies to the .NET
prefix (e.g. ".NETStandard bump").

Guidance for creating pull requests and handling PR review comments in the
Agent Framework repository. Use this when writing a PR description (filling out
the PR template) or when responding to and resolving review comments on an
existing PR.

# Pull Request Workflow
This skill covers two tasks: (1) writing a high-quality PR description, and
(2) handling review comments on an existing PR.
## 1. Writing the PR description
Always follow the repository PR template at
[`.github/pull_request_template.md`](../../pull_request_template.md). Keep its
exact structure and headings. Fill every section:
### `### Motivation & Context`
Explain *why* the change is needed: the problem it solves and the scenario it
contributes to. Describe the net change relative to `main` — this is implied, so
do **not** spell out "vs main" explicitly.
### `### Description & Review Guide`
Describe the changes, the overall approach, and the design. Answer the three
prompts:
- **What are the major changes?**
- **What is the impact of these changes?**
- **What do you want reviewers to focus on?** — This item is for **human
reviewers only**. Automated/AI reviewers must ignore it and review the entire
change rather than narrowing scope to it.
### `### Related Issue`
Link the issue the PR fixes using a GitHub closing keyword (`Fixes #123` /
`Closes #123`) so it closes automatically on merge. A PR with no linked issue may
be closed regardless of how valid the change is. Before opening, confirm there is
no other open PR for the same issue; if there is, explain how this PR differs.
### `### Contribution Checklist`
Check every item that applies. For the breaking-change item:
- Leave **"This is not a breaking change."** checked for the common case.
- If the change **is** breaking, add the `breaking change` label **or** put
`[BREAKING]` in the title prefix, before or after a language prefix such as
`Python:` or `.NET:` — workflows keep the label and the title prefix in sync
automatically (see `.github/workflows/label-title-prefix.yml` and
`.github/workflows/label-pr.yml`).
### Do not
- Do **not** add ad-hoc sections such as "Validation" or "Tests run"; CI/CD and
the checklist already cover validation status.
- Do **not** remove or reorder the template's headings.
### Creating the PR
Open new PRs as **drafts** until they are ready for review. Example:
```bash
gh pr create --repo microsoft/agent-framework --base main \
--head <your-fork-owner>:<branch> --draft \
--title "<concise title>" --body "<body following the template>"
```
## 2. Handling review comments
When a PR receives review comments, follow this sequence — **do not start editing
code before the user has reviewed the plan**:
1. **Review the comments.** Read every review comment and thread on the PR,
including inline code comments and general review summaries.
2. **Make a plan.** Produce a concrete plan describing how each comment will be
addressed (or why it should not be, with reasoning).
3. **Let the user review the plan.** Present the plan and wait for the user's
approval or adjustments before implementing anything.
4. **Implement.** Make the agreed changes.
5. **Reply to every comment.** Add a reply to **all** comments explaining how it
was addressed (or the agreed outcome) — leave none unanswered.
6. **Resolve resolved threads.** Mark a review thread as resolved only when the
comment has actually been addressed.
### Useful commands
List review comments and threads:
```bash
# Inline review comments
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/comments
# Review threads with resolution state (GraphQL)
gh api graphql -f query='
query($owner:String!,$repo:String!,$pr:Int!){
repository(owner:$owner,name:$repo){
pullRequest(number:$pr){
reviewThreads(first:100){
nodes{ id isResolved comments(first:50){ nodes{ id body author{login} } } }
}
}
}
}' -F owner={owner} -F repo={repo} -F pr={pr}
```
Reply to an inline review comment:
```bash
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/comments/{comment_id}/replies \
-f body="Addressed in <commit>: <explanation>"
```
Resolve a review thread (needs the thread node id from the GraphQL query above):
```bash
gh api graphql -f query='
mutation($threadId:ID!){
resolveReviewThread(input:{threadId:$threadId}){ thread{ isResolved } }
}' -F threadId={thread_id}
```
