GitHub Pull Request

Create pull requests using GitHub CLI with stacked PR detection.

Instructions

Step 1: Gather Context

Run the skill's context-gathering script:

Copy<skill-location-dir>/scripts/gather-pr-context.sh

The script outputs the current working directory first. Verify you are in the correct repository before proceeding.

Step 2: Analyze Context

From the script output, determine:

Stacked vs Normal PR:

• Parse git log --oneline --decorate for branch refs in parentheses
• First branch NOT current and NOT main/origin/main = parent branch
• Parent is main → Normal PR
• Parent is other branch → Stacked PR

Push status:

• git log origin/<branch>..HEAD empty → pushed ✓
• Shows commits → need to push first

Existing PR:

• gh pr list returns data → PR exists, offer to update
• Empty → create new PR

Step 3: Push if Needed

Copygit push -u origin HEAD

Step 4: Create PR

Normal PR:

Copygh pr create --draft --base main --title "title" --body "body"

Stacked PR:

Copygh pr create --draft --base <parent-branch> --title "title" --body "body"

Guidelines:

• Use ticket number from branch name as title prefix (e.g., PAT-123)
• Keep description short and proportional to changes
• For stacked PRs, describe only THIS branch's changes
• Create in draft mode unless explicitly requested otherwise

Step 5: Output

Normal PR:

CopyCreated PR
* Merge : `<branch>` into `main`
* PR URL: <url>

Stacked PR:

Copy📚 Stacked PR 📚
* Merge    : `<branch>` into `<parent>`
* New PR   : <url>
* Parent PR: <parent-url or "⚠️ No Parent PR">

Rules

• NEVER include attribution markers in PR titles or descriptions. This includes but is not limited to:
  • "Co-Authored-By" or "Co-authored-by" headers
  • "Generated by", "Created by", "Written by" followed by any AI/LLM name
  • Footers like "🤖 Generated with Claude Code" or similar
  • Any mention of AI tools: Claude, GPT, Copilot, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, or other LLMs/assistants
  • Any text or links indicating AI involvement in creating the PR

Requirements

• GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated
• Git remote configured
• Push access to repository
