create-pr

A guide for creating a pull request, which is a request for teammates to review and merge code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a standard pull request title and body from the branch changes, then create the request when all required checks pass.
Why use it?
It gathers evidence from the branch and checks the request description before attempting to create the pull request.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

create-pr scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 183 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Pull Request

Create a pull request with a well-structured description based on the branch changes.

Instructions

Gates (run in order)

Do not draft or run gh pr create until each step passes.

  1. Branch gate: git branch --show-current is not the default branch (main, master, or the repo’s documented default). Pass: branch name is printed and satisfies this.
  2. Evidence gate: You have run the commands in Gather Context for the same main..HEAD (or origin/main..HEAD if local main is missing) range you will summarize. Pass: you can name at least one commit subject and one area of files changed without inventing details.
  3. Template gate: The final PR title and body contain no unreplaced placeholders (<...>, TODO, TBD). Optional sections with no content are removed, not left as stubs. Pass: a quick scan finds no angle-bracket placeholders or filler tokens.
  4. Create gate: gh pr create exits successfully and prints a PR URL (or the PR number/URL from gh output). Pass: URL (or id) is recorded; if the command fails, do not claim the PR was created.

1. Gather Context

First, collect information about the changes:

# Get current branch and verify it's not main
git branch --show-current

# Get commit history for this branch
git log --oneline main..HEAD

# Get detailed commit messages for context
git log --format="### %s%n%n%b" main..HEAD

# Get file change statistics
git diff --stat main..HEAD

# Get the actual diff for understanding changes
git diff main..HEAD

2. Analyze the Changes

Based on the gathered information, determine:

  • What changed: Categorize changes (features, fixes, refactors, docs, tests)
  • Why it changed: Infer motivation from commit messages and code changes
  • Impact: Breaking changes, new dependencies, migrations needed
  • Testing: What tests were added/modified, how to verify manually

3. Check for Related Issues

Look for issue references:

  • In commit messages (e.g., "fixes #123", "closes #456")
  • In branch name (e.g., fix/issue-123-description)
  • In code comments or TODOs addressed

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

create-pr is a skill published in the GitHub repository existential-birds/beagle (79 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 1,208 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
