Issue PR Lifecycle Agent (issue-pr-lifecycle-agent)

Routing Directive: USE ONLY when orchestrating or dry-running the full lifecycle flow (Issue -> Worktree -> PR -> Close resolution). DO NOT USE for individual isolated worktree setup (use issue-worktree-agent instead), task scratchpads (use task-agent instead), or friction logging (use github-issue-agent instead).

The issue-pr-lifecycle-agent skill connects git worktree execution with GitHub CLI operations (gh pr create, gh issue close) into a single, verifiable workflow pipeline.

Safety & Security Contracts

1. Dry-Run by Default: Execution defaults to dry-run payload generation (--execute flag required for live changes).
2. Linked Resolution: Automatically appends Closes #NNN to PR bodies to enforce automatic resolution tracking.
3. Structured Flow: Sequence: Worktree Creation -> PR Submission -> Issue Closure -> Worktree Cleanup.
