PR Creation — torch-xpu-ops
- Read
.github/copilot-instructions.md for full repo context before starting.
- Read
.claude/skills/xpu-issues-triaging/SKILL.md for issue triaging before creating a PR.
MANDATORY STEPS:
- You MUST read the issue body "Root Cause Analysis" and "Proposed Fix Strategy" BEFORE proposing any fix.
- If there is a CUDA kernel implementation, you have to refer to it first.
- Before you make any changes, you need to understand the root cause, and answer yourself "why CUDA works but XPU failed". If there is any misalignment, you need to write in the PR body description.
- After you make changes, you need to answer "If the implementation is different with the CUDA logic, is it reasonable?" If there is any misalignment, you need to write in the PR body description.
Step 1: Verify your branch
git status
git log main..HEAD --oneline
git diff main --stat
Branch must follow: agent/<slug> (lowercase, hyphens, max 50 chars).
Step 2: Write a reproducer test (mandatory)
Every PR must include a pytest-compatible test under test/repro/ if it is newly introduced. If the test is in PyTorch or torch-xpu-ops tests, you should explicitly write the run command in the PR body (see Step 3).:
Note: For now, if the test is in PyTorch, explicitly point it out in PR message with bold font!
- File name:
test_<description>.py
- Contains
def test_...() functions or class Test... classes
- Runnable:
pytest test/repro/test_<description>.py
- Imports
torch, targets xpu device (also cuda if relevant)
Exceptions (CI-only changes, docs, build fixes): no new test file required, but you
must name existing tests that validate the change.
Step 3: Compose the PR body
Use this exact template:
Fixes <original_issue_link>
<description of what the PR does and why>
Test: <one of the three forms below>
Three valid Test: forms:
-
New reproducer added:
Test: test/repro/test_<description>.py
-
Existing test(s) cover it:
Test: test/repro/test_foo.py, test/xpu/test_bar_xpu.py
-
No test applicable:
Test: none (<reason>)
The Test: line is required in every PR body. CI reviewers look for it.
Step 4: Run linting checks
Before pushing, run pre-commit and/or lintrunner to catch style and lint issues:
pre-commit run --files $(git diff main --name-only)
lintrunner --take FLAKE8,MYPY,CLANGFORMAT -a $(git diff main --name-only)
Fix any reported issues and amend your commit before proceeding.
If neither tool is configured in the repo, skip this step and note it in your summary.
Step 5: Push your branch
git push origin agent/<slug>
origin for this repo is intel/torch-xpu-ops. This is not a fork — push directly
to origin. Do not push to main.
Step 6: Open the PR (or hand off)
Agents do not auto-open PRs for this repo. Output your summary so a human can review
and open the PR.
At the end of your response output EXACTLY this block:
### Agent Summary
- **What I found:** <one sentence>
- **What I changed:** <bullet list of files>
- **Test file:** test/repro/<filename>.py | none (<reason>)
- **Branch:** agent/<slug>
- **PR body draft:**
<title>
<description paragraph>
Test: <test line>
- **Open questions / risks:** <concerns or "None">
Critical: The **Branch:** line must contain the exact branch name. It is machine-parsed.
