Create Pull Request

This skill guides you through creating a well-structured GitHub pull request that follows project conventions and best practices.

Prerequisites Check

Before proceeding, verify the following:

1. Check if gh CLI is installed

gh --version

If not installed, inform the user:

The GitHub CLI (gh) is required but not installed. Please install it:

• macOS: brew install gh
• Other: https://cli.github.com/

2. Check if authenticated with GitHub

gh auth status

If not authenticated, guide the user to run gh auth login.

3. Verify clean working directory

git status

If there are uncommitted changes, ask the user whether to:

• Commit them as part of this PR
• Stash them temporarily
• Discard them (with caution)

Gather Context

1. Identify the current branch

git branch --show-current

Ensure you're not on main or master. If so, ask the user to create or switch to a feature branch.

2. Find the base branch

git remote show origin | grep "HEAD branch"

This is typically main or master.

3. Analyze recent commits relevant to this PR

git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline --no-decorate

Review these commits to understand:

• What changes are being introduced
• The scope of the PR (single feature/fix or multiple changes)
• Whether commits should be squashed or reorganized

4. Review the diff

git diff origin/main..HEAD --stat

This shows which files changed and helps identify the type of change.

Information Gathering

Before creating the PR, you need the following information. Check if it can be inferred from:

• Commit messages
• Branch name (e.g., fix/issue-123, feature/new-login)
• Changed files and their content

If any critical information is missing, use ask_followup_question to ask the user:
