What it does

Expertise in managing the Git and GitHub Pull Request lifecycle, including staging changes, generating PR descriptions, and branch management.

Skill: GitHub PR & Git Management

Goal

Standardize how the Gemini CLI Bot stages its changes, generates Pull Request descriptions, and manages the lifecycle of both new and existing PRs.

Staging & Patch Preparation (MANDATORY)

If you are proposing fixes and PR creation is enabled (per the System Directive):

  1. Surgical Changes: Only propose a single improvement or fix per PR.
    • No Bundling: You are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN from bundling unrelated changes. Changes are unrelated if they address different root causes.
    • Examples: Do not combine a script fix with a documentation update, an unrelated refactor, or a metrics script update. Metrics and fixes MUST be in separate PRs.
  2. Generate PR Description: Use the write_file tool to create pr-description.md.
    • Title: The very first line MUST be a concise, conventional title.
    • Body: The rest should be the markdown body explaining the change, why it is recommended, and the expected impact.
  3. Stage Fixes: You MUST explicitly stage your fixes using the git add <files> command.
  4. Internal File Protection (CRITICAL): You are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN from staging internal bot management files. If they are accidentally staged, you MUST unstage them using git reset <file>.
    • NEVER STAGE: pr-description.md, lessons-learned.md, branch-name.txt, pr-comment.md, pr-number.txt, issue-comment.md, or anything in history/.

Unblocking & PR Updates (Recovery)
