Create GitHub Pull Request

Execute automated PR creation workflow with comprehensive quality validation and security scanning.

Context

• Current git status: !git status
• Current branch: !git branch --show-current
• Unpushed commits: !git log --oneline -5
• GitHub authentication: !gh auth status
• Repository changes: !git diff --stat HEAD~1..HEAD

Requirements Summary

Ensure repository readiness with clean state and authentication. Complete all quality checks (lint, test, build, security) before PR creation. Link related issues with auto-closing keywords and apply accurate labels. See references/requirements.md for complete checklist.

Phase 1: Validation and Analysis

Goal: Validate repository state, analyze changes, detect templates, and identify blockers.

Actions:

1. Verify GitHub authentication from context
2. Check branch status and unpushed commits
3. Analyze commit history for conventional commit compliance
4. Identify changed files and determine PR scope
5. Check for contributing guidelines (CONTRIBUTING.md) and follow its requirements
6. Detect PR templates (.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md or root/docs locations)
7. Detect potential blockers (merge conflicts, missing tests, etc.)

See references/repository-templates.md for template detection and compliance details.

Phase 2: Quality and Security Checks

Goal: Execute comprehensive quality validation and security scanning.

Actions:

1. Run project-specific quality checks (see references/quality-validation.md for commands)
2. Execute security scanning for sensitive files and hardcoded secrets
3. Validate commit message format against standards
4. If checks fail: follow failure resolution process in references/failure-resolution.md
5. Re-run all checks until passing

Phase 3: PR Assembly and Creation

Goal: Create pull request with proper structure, metadata, and links.

Actions:

1. Identify and link related issues using GitHub CLI
2. Generate PR title (≤70 chars, imperative, no emojis)
3. Assemble PR body following template in references/pr-structure.md
4. Apply automated labels based on file changes
5. CRITICAL: Auto-closing keywords (Closes/Fixes/Resolves #N) only trigger when the PR merges into the repository's default branch. If targeting a non-default branch (e.g. develop), explicitly warn the user that linked issues will NOT close automatically on merge and must be closed manually.
6. Create PR using gh pr create with all metadata
   • Use --draft if the PR requires early feedback or is not fully complete
   • Set reviewers with --reviewer and assignees with --assignee when requested
   • Fill title/body automatically using --fill for simple changes
7. Check remote CI status with gh pr checks <pr-number> --watch to ensure all checks pass remotely
8. Report final PR URL and status to user
9. If $ARGUMENTS contains --monitor, proceed to Phase 4

Phase 4: Post-PR Monitoring and Auto-Fix (Optional)

Trigger: $ARGUMENTS contains --monitor

Goal: Use the Monitor tool to watch BOTH CI checks and new PR comments in one persistent background watch, auto-fix what is actionable, and surface ambiguous items to the user — without busy-polling in the foreground.

Actions:

1. Launch a single Monitor with persistent: true whose command emits one tagged stdout line per new event: [ci] <name>: <bucket> for checks reaching a terminal bucket, and [comment] ... for new issue comments, inline review comments, and review summaries. Use the consolidated script in references/post-pr-monitoring.md — do not run a foreground while loop.
2. React as each Monitor event arrives (the watch runs across turns):
   • [ci] failure → analyze logs via gh run view --log-failed, apply the fix, commit, push. The push triggers a fresh CI run that the same Monitor re-emits — no relaunch needed.
   • [comment] batch arrives → CRITICAL: Spawn an independent review-triage agent to evaluate every comment. The main conversation context is biased by the PR creation flow — it authored the code and tends to either defend or over-correct. The triage agent starts with a clean context, reads the diff and each comment independently, and returns a verdict per comment: fix / reject (with reason) / escalate. Apply ONLY the fix verdicts. See references/post-pr-monitoring.md for the agent prompt template and verdict format.
   • [comment] escalated (design disagreement, scope change, unclear intent) → send a PushNotification and report the comment body, author, and file context to the user; do not guess.
3. Stop the Monitor with TaskStop when all [ci] checks are terminal AND passing, no actionable comments remain, and the user no longer wants live coverage. If a PR has no CI and no reviewers (terminal immediately), report that and skip launching the watch rather than polling an empty signal.

See references/post-pr-monitoring.md for the consolidated Monitor script, comment parsing rules, triage agent prompt, and verdict format.
