source content

Open a reviewable PR/MR for the current branch. The reviewer arrives cold — not a teammate who lived through the work, but someone handed an agent's output. The body is the only bridge between the agent's context and what the human needs to decide.

Multi-repo work is one PR per repo.

cd

into each repo root before the create command — git CLIs infer the remote project from cwd, not from arguments. Cross-reference paired PRs in the body.

Conventional commits

cat ~/.claude/skills/conventional-commits.md

CLI invocation

--fill

conflicts with explicit title/body in both

gh

and

glab

	Title	Body	Create	Cleanup flag
`gh`	`--title`	`--body`	`gh pr create`	`--delete-branch`
`glab`	`--title`	`--description`	`glab mr create`	`--remove-source-branch`

Pass the cleanup flag so the source branch is removed on merge.

Updating an existing PR:

gh pr edit --body

glab mr update --description

take the new body and overwrite — re-render from current truth, don't fetch-and-concat.

Task — issue link or one-line of what was asked.
Summary — what + why. Approach chosen and why over alternatives: "X over Y because Z." 2–4 lines.
Changes — one bullet per meaningful change, grouped by area. A change list, not a file list.
Self-Review — what the agent verified (
```
[x]
```
) vs. couldn't (
```
[ ]
```
). Name the evidence per item.
Human Review — specific things where human judgment is load-bearing.
