| description | Create or update a GitHub Pull Request — use ONLY when explicitly asked to create/submit/open a PR |
When to use
Only when the user explicitly asks to create, submit, or open a Pull Request.
Do NOT invoke this skill for plain commit or push requests.
Procedure
- Verify & clean — ensure changes are complete, correct, and free of debug artifacts
- Detect default branch — determine the repository default branch first, for example:
DEFAULT_BRANCH=$(GH_PAGER= gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef -q '.defaultBranchRef.name')
- Commit & push:
- If on
$DEFAULT_BRANCH, create a new feature branch first (avoid name conflicts)
- Commit all changes and push to remote
- Create or update PR:
- Check if current branch already has a PR (
gh pr list --head <BRANCH> --base "$DEFAULT_BRANCH")
- Exists: update title/description to reflect new commits
- None: create PR against
$DEFAULT_BRANCH with title/description derived from changes
Output
- What changed, why, impact, and how to verify
