Create Pull Request Skill

Create GitHub pull requests by analyzing branch diff and following the project template.

Prerequisites

• On a feature branch (not main)
• Changes committed locally
• GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated

Workflow

1. Gather Context

# Get current branch name
git branch --show-current

# Check if branch is pushed
git status

# Get diff against main
git diff main...HEAD --stat
git diff main...HEAD

# Get commit history for this branch
git log main..HEAD --oneline

2. Analyze Changes

Review the diff to understand:

• What: Files changed, functions modified, features added/removed
• Why: The purpose behind the changes (bug fix, feature, refactor)
• Testing: What tests were added or should be run

3. Create PR

Use gh pr create with the project template structure:

gh pr create --title "<type>: <description>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
Fixes #issue-number-here

# What

- [Describe specific changes made]
- [List modified components/files]

# Why

- [Explain the motivation]
- [Reference related issues]

# Testing done

- [List tests run]
- [Describe manual testing]

# Decisions made

- [Document any non-obvious choices]

# Checks

- [x] I have tested this code
- [x] I have reviewed my own PR
- [ ] I have created an issue for this PR
- [x] I have set a descriptive PR title compliant with conventional commits

# Reviewing tips

- [Guidance for reviewers]

# User facing release notes

- [Changes visible to end users, if any]
EOF
)"

Conventional Commit Types

Examples

Feature PR

gh pr create --title "feat: add user authentication" --body "..."

Bug Fix PR

gh pr create --title "fix: resolve timeout in consensus worker" --body "..."

With Issue Link

gh pr create --title "fix: handle empty contract data" --body "Fixes #123..."

Tips

• Keep PR title under 72 characters
• Reference issue numbers with Fixes #N or Closes #N for auto-close
• For WIP, use gh pr create --draft
• Push branch first if needed: git push -u origin $(git branch --show-current)
