# Generate PR Description

You are tasked with generating a comprehensive pull request description following the repository's standard template.

## Steps to follow:

1. **Read the PR description template:**
   - First, check if `thoughts/shared/pr_description.md` exists
   - If it doesn't exist, inform the user they need to create a PR description template at `thoughts/shared/pr_description.md`
   - Read the template carefully to understand all sections and requirements


2. **Identify the PR to describe:**
   - Check if the current branch has an associated PR: `gh pr view --json url,number,title,state 2>/dev/null`
   - If no PR exists for the current branch, or if on main/master, list open PRs: `gh pr list --limit 10 --json number,title,headRefName,author`
   - Ask the user which PR they want to describe

3. **Check for existing description:**
   - Check if `thoughts/shared/prs/{number}_description.md` already exists
   - If it exists, read it and inform the user you'll be updating it
   - Consider what has changed since the last description was written

4. **Gather comprehensive PR information:**
   - Get the full PR diff: `gh pr diff {number}`
   - If you get an error about no default remote repository, instruct the user to run `gh repo set-default` and select the appropriate repository
   - Get commit history: `gh pr view {number} --json commits`
   - Review the base branch: `gh pr view {number} --json baseRefName`
   - Get PR metadata: `gh pr view {number} --json url,title,number,state`

4b. **Gather reasoning history (if available):**
   - Check if reasoning files exist: `ls .git/claude/commits/*/reasoning.md 2>/dev/null`
   - If they exist, aggregate them: `bash "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/scripts/aggregate-reasoning.sh" main`
   - This shows what approaches were tried before the final solution
   - Save the output for inclusion in the PR description
