# Prepare A PR For NeMo Relay Use this skill at the end of a contributor or maintainer change before opening a pull request. Also use it whenever a user asks to create, open, publish, update, or edit a NeMo Relay pull request, pull request description, or PR body. If this repo-local guidance conflicts with generic GitHub publishing, connector, or plugin guidance, this skill wins for PR body format, validation language, and review handoff details. ## Checklist - [ ] Branch scope is coherent and reviewable - [ ] Validation results accurately report checks already run and relevant omissions without widening validation solely for PR preparation - [ ] Pull request title follows Conventional Commit style and uses the correct type - [ ] Pull request body follows `.github/pull_request_template.md` - [ ] Breaking changes or renamed surfaces are called out explicitly ## Pull Request Title Use Conventional Commit style for PR titles: ```text <type>: <concise imperative summary> ``` Choose the type from the actual change surface, not from the impact of the review comment or CI outcome. Use `fix` only for an actual user-facing or runtime/product code bug fix. Never use `fix` for changes that are not related to product code behavior, including chores, CI configuration, docs, tests, packaging metadata, generated-output handling, or agent/skill guidance. Common examples: - `ci: update codecov coverage reporting` - `docs: clarify release workflow` - `enhancement: improve scope configuration` - `chore: refresh generated attribution data` - `skills: add a plugin-authoring guide` - `test: add Python scope regression coverage` - `fix: preserve scope-local middleware cleanup` ## Opening A Pull Request Always use `.github/pull_request_template.md` as the source of truth for the PR body. Before opening a PR, read the current template and preserve its headings, checkboxes, comments' intent, and related-issue guidance. This applies both when creating a new PR and when editing an existing PR description. Do not use a generic `Summary / Why / Validation` body unless the current repository template uses those headings. When using GitHub CLI, prefer: ```bash gh pr create --template .github/pull_request_template.md ``` If a tool cannot consume the template directly, create the PR body from the template content and then fill in every visible section before opening the PR. Do not replace the template with a freeform summary. After creating or editing a PR, fetch the rendered PR body and verify that the template's visible headings and checklist items are still present. The PR body must include: - `#### Overview` with a concise summary and both contribution confirmation checklist items preserved - `#### Details` with the concrete changes made - `#### Where should the reviewer start?` with the most useful file, test, or design decision - `#### Related Issues: (use one of the action keywords Closes / Fixes / Resolves / Relates to)` with an issue reference, or a clear `Relates to: none` entry when there is no related issue Only check the contribution confirmation boxes when they are true. If either confirmation cannot be made, stop before opening the PR and surface the blocker. ## References - `CONTRIBUTING.md` - `.github/pull_request_template.md`
