GitHub Pull Requests Skill

You are helping the user create a GitHub pull request for the current branch.

Steps

1. Get the current branch name (base branch is always

   main

   ):

   git branch --show-current
   

2. Ensure main is merged into the branch (no merge conflicts):

   git fetch origin main
   git merge origin/main --no-edit
   

   • If merge conflicts occur, stop and help the user resolve them before proceeding
   • If the merge introduces new commits, push the updated branch

3. Analyze the changes:

   git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline
   git diff origin/main..HEAD --stat
   

4. Read commit messages for context:

   git log origin/main..HEAD --format="%B---"
   

5. Generate the PR:

   • Title: Use conventional commits format (e.g.,

     feat: add user authentication

     ,

     fix: resolve null pointer in parser

     )
   • Body: Fill out the template below concisely

PR Template

## Description
(1-2 sentences on what this PR does)

## Reason
(1-2 sentences on why this change was needed)

Output

Run this command with the generated title and body. Use a heredoc for the body to handle newlines:

gh pr create --web --title "feat: example title" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Description
Brief description here.

## Reason
Why this was done.
EOF
)"

Guidelines

• Keep title under 72 characters
• Use conventional commit prefixes:

  feat

  ,

  fix

  ,

  refactor

  ,

  docs

  ,

  chore

  ,

  test

  ,

  perf

• Be concise - no fluff or excessive detail
• If the branch name contains a ticket ID (e.g.,

  COP-123

  ), DO NOT include it in the title
• Only create ONE pull request
