## Description

Drive ONE already selected open pull request in microsoft/apm to mergeable. Classifies copilot-pull-request-reviewer[bot] inline review, runs autopilot-pr-review-worker, folds (by default) every recommendation inside the PR's stated scope, pushes to the head branch or a superseding PR that preserves authorship via commit trailers,   watches CI to green (`agent-merge` when that skill or `<agent_merge_state>` is present; otherwise `gh pr checks --watch`), and iterates under fixed caps until ready-to-merge, advisory-with-deferred, superseded, or blocked. Plan before any fold, push, or reviewer request. Never spawned by autopilot-pr-review-scheduler. That scheduler is advisory only. Invoke this skill by name when the caller asked to drive a PR to merge.

Writes are optional via the activation card (`write: on` default).
`autopilot-pr-review-scheduler` never spawns this skill.
The PR review scheduler never comments, labels, assigns, or
requests reviewers.

`panel-review` requests a review. `status/accepted` is the human
action flag. No accepted, no review. If `status/accepted` is
missing on this PR and every linked issue: remove `panel-review`
if present, do not comment, stop. Never assign. The scheduler
and panel stop the same way and leave no comment.

## Activation card

`activation_card: on`. Before any PR read or GitHub write, emit
this Enter card with every field filled. Missing field -> stop.
