# Pull Request Creator
This skill guides the creation of high-quality Pull Requests that adhere to the
repository's standards.
## Workflow
Follow these steps to create a Pull Request:
1. **Branch Management**: Check the current branch to avoid working directly
on `main`.
- Run `git branch --show-current`.
- If the current branch is `main`, create and switch to a new descriptive
branch:
```bash
git checkout -b <new-branch-name>
```
2. **Locate Template**: Search for a pull request template in the repository.
- Check `.github/pull_request_template.md`
- Check `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`
- If multiple templates exist (e.g., in `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/`),
ask the user which one to use or select the most appropriate one based on
the context (e.g., `bug_fix.md` vs `feature.md`).
3. **Read Template**: Read the content of the identified template file.
4. **Draft Description**: Create a PR description that strictly follows the
template's structure.
- **Headings**: Keep all headings from the template.
- **Checklists**: Review each item. Mark with `[x]` if completed. If an item
is not applicable, leave it unchecked or mark as `[ ]` (depending on the
template's instructions) or remove it if the template allows flexibility
(but prefer keeping it unchecked for transparency).
- **Content**: Fill in the sections with clear, concise summaries of your
changes.
- **Related Issues**: Link any issues fixed or related to this PR (e.g.,
"Fixes #123").
5. **Preflight Check**: Before creating the PR, run the workspace preflight
script to ensure all build, lint, and test checks pass.
```bash
npm run preflight
```
If any checks fail, address the issues before proceeding to create the PR.
6. **Create PR**: Use the `gh` CLI to create the PR. To avoid shell escaping
issues with multi-line Markdown, write the description to a temporary file
first.
```bash
# 1. Write the drafted description to a temporary file
# 2. Create the PR using the --body-file flag
gh pr create --title "type(scope): succinct description" --body-file <temp_file_path>
# 3. Remove the temporary file
rm <temp_file_path>
```
- **Title**: Ensure the title follows the
[Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) format if the
repository uses it (e.g., `feat(ui): add new button`,
`fix(core): resolve crash`).
## Principles
- **Compliance**: Never ignore the PR template. It exists for a reason.
- **Completeness**: Fill out all relevant sections.
- **Accuracy**: Don't check boxes for tasks you haven't done.
