Copilot AI commented Nov 12, 2025

The add_command.go file contained 7 functions unrelated to workflow addition: 5 agent setup utilities, 1 git operation, and 1 PR creation helper. This violated separation of concerns and made code discovery difficult.

Changes

Moved to copilot-agents.go:

  • ensureCopilotInstructions - creates/updates Copilot instruction files
  • ensureAgenticWorkflowPrompt - removes deprecated prompt files
  • ensureAgenticWorkflowAgent - ensures create-agentic-workflow agent exists
  • ensureSharedAgenticWorkflowAgent - ensures shared workflow agent exists
  • ensureSetupAgenticWorkflowsAgent - ensures setup guide agent exists

Moved to git.go:

  • checkCleanWorkingDirectory - validates no uncommitted changes

Moved to pr_command.go:

  • createPR - creates pull request via GitHub CLI

Impact

  • add_command.go: 1,018 → 858 lines (-160)
  • Removed unused imports: encoding/json, os/exec
  • No functional changes, all tests pass
  • Functions remain package-visible, no API changes

Each file now has a single clear domain: workflow addition, agent setup, git operations, or PR management.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>[task] Move misplaced functions from add_command.go to appropriate files</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Objective
Improve file cohesion by relocating misplaced functions from pkg/cli/add_command.go to their appropriate domain files.

Context

The add_command.go file contains several functions that don't belong there, violating separation of concerns and making code harder to find and reuse. These functions handle setup, git operations, and PR creation - responsibilities that should live in dedicated files.

Related to #3713 - Outlier Functions Issues #1, #2, and #3.

Approach

  1. Move setup functions (Lines 819-907):

    • ensureCopilotInstructions
    • ensureAgenticWorkflowPrompt
    • ensureAgenticWorkflowAgent
    • ensureSharedAgenticWorkflowAgent
    • ensureSetupAgenticWorkflowsAgent
    • Create new file pkg/cli/agent_setup.go or add to pkg/cli/copilot_setup.go
  2. Move git operation (Line 912):

    • checkCleanWorkingDirectory
    • Move to pkg/cli/git.go (existing file)
  3. Move PR operation (Line 934):

    • createPR
    • Move to pkg/cli/pr_command.go or create pkg/cli/pr_helpers.go
  4. Refactor compilation logic:

    • compileWorkflow and compileWorkflowWithTracking
    • Extract shared utilities to avoid duplication with compile_command.go
  5. Update all references to moved functions

Files to Create

  • pkg/cli/agent_setup.go (or decide to use existing copilot_setup.go)
  • Possibly pkg/cli/pr_helpers.go if PR operations need dedicated file

Files to Modify

  • pkg/cli/add_command.go - Remove misplaced functions
  • pkg/cli/git.go - Add checkCleanWorkingDirectory
  • pkg/cli/pr_command.go - Add createPR (or create pr_helpers.go)
  • Any files that reference the moved functions - Update imports

Acceptance Criteria

  • All 5 setup functions moved to appropriate setup file
  • checkCleanWorkingDirectory moved to git.go
  • createPR moved to appropriate PR file
  • Compilation logic refactored to use shared utilities
  • All function references updated with correct imports
  • All tests pass without modification
  • File cohesion improved - each file has single, clear purpose
  • No functionality changed - only code organization improved

Pull Request Overview

This PR refactors add_command.go by moving 7 misplaced functions to their appropriate domain-specific files, improving code organization and maintainability. The refactoring reduces add_command.go from 1,018 to 858 lines and removes two unused imports (encoding/json and os/exec).

  • Five agent setup functions moved to copilot-agents.go for better cohesion with existing agent management code
  • One git operation function moved to git.go to group with other git utilities
  • One PR creation function moved to pr_command.go to consolidate PR-related operations
