PR Recreate Command

Recreate a PR with a clean history when it has too many try-and-error commits or review comments.

IMPORTANT: This command ALWAYS uses squash merge to discard try-and-error history and create clean, meaningful commits. Never use cherry-pick.

Usage

• /pr-recreate - Recreate PR for current branch
• /pr-recreate <PR_URL> - Recreate PR from specified URL

Steps

1. Identify Target PR

• If PR URL provided: Extract PR information using gh pr view <URL>
• If no URL: Get current branch and find PR using gh pr list --head <current-branch>

2. Analyze PR Information

Extract:

• Old branch name
• Base branch (CRITICAL: Extract from gh pr view --json baseRefName)
• PR title
• PR number
• Original issue reference

CRITICAL: ALWAYS use the exact base branch from the original PR - NEVER default to main or develop

3. Determine New Branch Name
