Pull Request

Create a pull request from the current branch with a well-structured description derived from commits and diffs.

Step 1: Read Local Repo Conventions

Before doing anything, check for repo-specific instructions that override the defaults below:

# Check for conventions in order of priority
cat CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null || cat AGENTS.md 2>/dev/null || cat .github/CONTRIBUTING.md 2>/dev/null

Look for:

• Branch naming rules
• PR title format
• Required PR template sections
• Base branch (default: main)
• Ticket/issue reference format

Step 2: Verify Branch

git branch --show-current
git status
git log main..HEAD --oneline

• Confirm there are commits ahead of the base branch
• If on main directly, stop and ask the user to create a feature branch first
• Branch prefix should match the change type: feat/, fix/, chore/, ci/, docs/, test/, refactor/
• Use no-jira/ or no-ticket/ when there is no associated issue

Step 3: Push Branch

git push origin <branch_name>

Always use the explicit branch name (not HEAD).

Step 4: Build PR Title

Use Conventional Commits format — NO scopes in parentheses. CI rejects feat(scope):, only feat: is valid.

<type>: <description>

Types: feat, fix, docs, chore, refactor, test, perf, ci

Step 5: Build PR Description

If the repo has a PR template

Read it and replace all placeholder text with content derived from commits and diffs:

cat .github/pull_request_template.md

Fill in every section. Leave any screenshots/video section for the author to populate.

If there is no PR template

Use this structure:

## Background

- {Why this change is needed}

## What Has Changed

- {What this PR introduces or modifies}

## Screenshots/Video

- {Leave for author}

## Checklist

- [ ] Self-review completed
- [ ] Tests added or updated
- [ ] Tested locally

## Reference Issue

- Closes #{issue-number} ← only include if there is an associated issue

Checklist rules

• Leave all checklist items unchecked — never check boxes on the author's behalf

Reference Issue rules

• If the branch name contains a ticket/issue number, include a closing reference
• If there is no ticket, omit the section entirely

Step 6: Create the PR

gh pr create \
  --title "<title>" \
  --body "<description>" \

After creating the PR, do not perform any additional commits.

Step 7: Return the PR URL

Share the URL so the user can review it immediately.
