# GitHub Pull Request Create or update pull requests using GitHub CLI. Tickets are optional, and a ticket platform must never be assumed without project-specific evidence. ## Instructions ### Step 1: Gather Context Run the skill's context-gathering script: ```bash <skill-location-dir>/scripts/collect-context.sh ``` The script outputs the current working directory first. Verify you are in the correct repository before proceeding. Pass a remote name as the first argument when the intended PR repository differs from the automatically selected remote, for example in a fork workflow. GitHub lookups and the base comparison use that selected remote. A failed lookup means the PR state is unknown, not that no PR exists; resolve reported errors before creating a PR. Comparisons use locally available refs, which may need refreshing. ### Step 2: Analyze Context From the script output, determine: **Base branch:** - Prefer the base of an existing PR for the current branch. - For a new PR, use the remote's detected default branch. - Use another branch as the base only when the user says the work is stacked or repository metadata clearly identifies the parent branch. Do not infer a stack solely by parsing decorated `git log` output. **Push status:** - The context script reports the PR remote, upstream, and commits absent from the locally known push destination. The upstream and push destination can differ. - If the push destination is unknown, verify the intended head remote and branch before deciding whether a push is needed. Local refs may be stale. **Existing PR:** - The script lists branch-name matches. Verify the head repository and branch against the intended push destination before treating a PR or its displayed base as a match; different forks can use the same branch name. - Exactly one verified matching PR → update it within the requested scope. - A successful lookup finds no matching PR → create a new PR. - A failed lookup or multiple matches → resolve the uncertainty first. **Ticket system:** Detect ticket usage before adding any ticket identifier: 1. Prefer an explicit ticket ID or URL supplied by the user. 2. Otherwise inspect repository evidence such as `CONTRIBUTING`, the PR template, branch naming, recent PR titles, and provider configuration or URLs. 3. Identify a provider only from evidence such as a provider URL or integration config. A token like `ABC-123` alone is a generic ticket candidate, not proof of Linear, Jira, YouTrack, or another platform. 4. If the project has no clear ticket convention, omit ticket metadata. Never ask for or invent a ticket merely to create the PR. ### Step 3: Push if Needed Push to the verified remote and branch hosting the PR head. In a fork workflow, this may differ from both the upstream and the remote used for the base comparison. ```bash git push -u <head-remote> HEAD:refs/heads/<head-branch> ``` ### Step 4: Create or Update PR Use the verified base repository explicitly in both cases. For a new PR, specify the verified head branch with `--head`; qualify it with the fork owner when needed. ```bash gh pr create --repo <base-repository> --head <head-selector> --draft --base <base-branch> --title "title" --body-file <body-file> --assignee "@me" ``` For an existing PR, edit the verified PR number instead of creating another one. Pass only the fields that the task requires changing; creation defaults do not reset its existing assignees, base, or draft status. ```bash gh pr edit <pr-number> --repo <base-repository> --title "title" --body-file <body-file> ``` **Guidelines:** - Use Conventional Commits for the title, with the linked ticket ID as the scope when available, e.g. `feat(PRO-123): add import functionality`. Follow repository-specific title conventions when present. - Use the repository PR template when present; otherwise use the bundled `template.md` fallback. - Write for senior developers. Keep the description short and proportional to the changes, preferably one concise bullet per major change. Omit details reviewers can infer from the diff or linked ticket. - Link the ticket by its ID instead of duplicating its description. Use a verified ticket URL; never invent a provider or link. - For stacked PRs, describe only this branch's changes. - Use the assignee specified by the user or repository. Otherwise assign the authenticated GitHub user with `--assignee "@me"`, as in the example above. - Create in draft mode unless explicitly requested otherwise. - Write the description to a temporary file and pass it with `--body-file` to preserve multiline Markdown and avoid shell interpolation. ### Step 5: Output Read back the created or updated PR to verify its repository, head, base, and requested metadata changes. Always return its URL. ``` Created or updated PR * Merge: `<branch>` into `<base-branch>` * PR URL: <url> * Ticket: <id and provider, only when detected> ``` ### Finalization When the PR is the final version with no further iterations expected, and a ticket is linked, propose these state changes for explicit approval: 1. Change the PR from draft to ready for review. 2. Move the linked ticket to In Review, when the corresponding integration is available. Execute only the changes explicitly approved by the user. Approval already given in the conversation counts; do not request it again. Skip changes already applied and skip the proposal entirely when there is no linked ticket or the user has indicated that the PR is still a work in progress. ## Rules - Never add AI-attribution signatures, footers, or suffixes to PR titles or descriptions. Factual mentions of AI tools that are relevant to the changes are allowed. ## Requirements - GitHub CLI (`gh`) installed and authenticated - Git remote configured - Push access to repository
