Git Pull Request Workflow for @j0kz/mcp-agents

Complete workflow from committing changes to creating pull requests with quality gates.

When to Use This Skill

• Creating feature branches and commits
• Preparing code for pull request
• Running pre-push quality checks
• Creating PRs with gh CLI
• Synchronizing wiki documentation
• Following conventional commit standards

Evidence Base

Current State:

• 25+ version releases with extensive PR history in CHANGELOG
• Conventional commits used throughout (feat:, fix:, docs:, refactor:, test:, chore:)
• GitHub Actions CI/CD (.github/workflows/)
• Wiki publishing workflow (publish-wiki.ps1)
• Code review patterns visible in release notes

Core Workflow

1. Feature Branch Creation

# Create feature branch from main
git checkout main
git pull origin main
git checkout -b feat/your-feature-name

# Or for fixes
git checkout -b fix/issue-description

2. Conventional Commits

cat .claude/skills/git-pr-workflow/references/conventional-commits-guide.md

3. Pre-Push Quality Checks

Run ALL checks before pushing:

# 1. Build everything
npm run build

# 2. Run all tests (632+ tests)
npm test

# 3. Smart code review
npx @j0kz/smart-reviewer@latest review *.ts --severity=moderate

# 4. Security scan
npx @j0kz/security-scanner@latest scan . --severity=medium

# 5. Check for circular dependencies
npx @j0kz/architecture-analyzer@latest analyze . --detect-circular

4. Push & Create PR

# Push branch
git push -u origin feat/your-feature-name

# Create PR with gh CLI
gh pr create \
  --title "feat: add your feature description" \
  --body "$(cat <<'EOF'

Quick Commands Reference

# View PR status
gh pr status

# List PRs
gh pr list

# View specific PR
gh pr view 123

# Check CI status
gh pr checks

# Merge PR (after approval)
gh pr merge --squash --delete-branch

Wiki Synchronization

After PR merge, update wiki if docs changed:

# Run from Windows PowerShell
powershell.exe -File publish-wiki.ps1

# Or manually
cd wiki
git add .
git commit -m "docs: sync wiki with main branch updates"
git push

Common Issues & Solutions

Issue: Push Rejected

# If push rejected, pull and rebase
git pull --rebase origin main
git push --force-with-lease

Issue: PR Checks Failing

# Check specific failures
gh pr checks

# Re-run failed checks
gh pr checks --watch

Issue: Merge Conflicts

Best Practices

1. Always run full quality checks before pushing
2. Use conventional commits for clear history
3. Keep PRs focused (one feature/fix per PR)
4. Update tests for any logic changes
5. Synchronize wiki after documentation changes
6. Request reviews from relevant maintainers
7. Address review feedback promptly

Complete Example Workflow

# 1. Start fresh
git checkout main && git pull

# 2. Create feature branch
git checkout -b feat/add-bilingual-support

# 3. Make changes
# ... edit files ...

# 4. Stage and commit
