What it does

Prepare local changes for review with an intentional commit, push, and ready PR for fallow. Use when the user wants to publish work, open a PR, or turn local changes into a reviewable branch.

Open Review PR

This skill keeps its historical file/name for compatibility, but fallow PRs are ready for review by default. Do not open draft PRs unless the user explicitly asks for a draft.

Workflow:

  1. Review the changed files and confirm the scope.
  2. Run the smallest relevant validation for the touched area.
  3. Prepare a concise conventional commit message.
  4. Commit with -S -s (signature and DCO sign-off) if committing is requested.
  5. Push the branch. GitHub refuses a PR for a branch with no commits; make an intentional empty coordination commit before the first push when the branch is fresh.
  6. Write the PR body to a file and run the CI deferral check on it: PR_BODY="$(cat body.md)" GITHUB_REPOSITORY=fallow-rs/fallow node .github/scripts/check-pr-deferrals.mjs. The check fails a body that defers work without an issue link, for example a "Follow-up" or "Not in this change" section. Link an issue, or add "No follow-up planned." to an intentional non-goal. Call a docs change a companion fallow-docs PR, not a follow-up.
  7. Open a ready PR with a high-signal conventional title and that body. After a later body edit, do not rerun the failed commit-message job: the edited event starts a new run with the new body.

Requirements:

  • Use conventional commits.
  • Use signed commits with a DCO sign-off: git commit -S -s.
  • Use a descriptive non-codex/ branch name, for example feat/<slug>, fix/<slug>, refactor/<slug>, docs/<slug>, or chore/<slug>.
  • Do not pass --draft to gh pr create unless the user explicitly asks for a draft.
  • Do not add AI attribution.
  • Summarize validation honestly if some checks were not run.
