What I do

• Run task validate before opening the PR.
• Inspect main...HEAD changes and recent commits to summarize the branch.
• Check whether a PR already exists for the current branch and stop if one is already open.
• Push the current branch, including setting upstream when needed.
• Build a PR title and description from .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md.
• Create the PR with gh pr create and return the URL.

When to use me

Use this when your branch is ready for review and you want a consistent GitHub pull request created automatically.

Process

1. Run task validate
2. Collect branch context:
   • git diff main...HEAD --stat
   • git diff main...HEAD
   • git log main...HEAD --oneline
3. Check whether a PR already exists for the current branch:
   • gh pr list --head "$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)" --json number,title,url
   • If one exists, report its URL and stop
4. Push the current branch:
   • If upstream is not set: git push -u origin HEAD
   • Otherwise: git push
5. Generate the PR title and description from .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
6. Fill the PR body with:
   • Summary of changes based on git diff main...HEAD --stat and git diff main...HEAD
   • Testing notes including task validate
   • Migration steps (if any)
   • Screenshots placeholders
   • Types of changes
   • Checklist items that are true
7. Create the pull request automatically with gh pr create
8. Return the PR URL after creation

PR template guidance

Use .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md as the base for the PR body.

Prefer to include:

• Testing: task validate
• Migration steps (if any)
• Screenshots placeholders

Example (copy/paste):

gh pr create --base main --head "$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)" \
  --title "<title>" \
  --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
