Contributor PR skill (external)

This skill is for external contributors to prisma/orm who are using an LLM-based agent to author or finalize a PR. It is intentionally separate from the maintainer-facing create-pr skill: it does not depend on Linear access, internal plan/spec documents, or any private context. It encodes the expectations laid out in CONTRIBUTING.md as a runnable workflow, so the PR you produce matches the shape maintainers expect on the first review round.

If the user is a maintainer with access to internal Linear tickets, use create-pr instead.

When to use

Trigger this skill when the user says any of:

• "Open a PR for this contribution"
• "Submit this as a PR to prisma/orm"
• "I'm contributing to Prisma 8, finalize my change"
• "Help me get this PR ready for review"

If the user has clearly already followed the contribution flow and just needs the gh pr create invocation, you may skip directly to step 5.

Operating principle

Verify the result, not the authorship. The maintainers do not ask whether the change was AI-assisted; they verify that:

1. It is scoped to one logical concern.
2. The right test suite is green.
3. The PR explains why the change exists, not file-by-file what.
4. Every commit is signed off (DCO).
5. The PR title is in conventional-commit form.

This skill is a pit of success, there is no CI gate that checks you used it. Following it is the cheapest way to land the PR cleanly.

Workflow

Step 1, Read the contribution contract

Before doing anything else, read the project's contribution docs:
