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 from the repository root:
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 --decoratefor 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>..HEADempty → pushed ✓- Shows commits → need to push first
Existing PR:
gh pr listreturns data → PR exists, offer to update- Empty → create new PR
Step 3: Push if Needed
git push -u origin HEAD
Step 4: Create PR
Normal PR:
gh pr create --draft --base main --title "title" --body "body"
Stacked PR:
gh 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:
Created PR
* Merge : `<branch>` into `main`
* PR URL: <url>
Stacked PR:
📚 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
