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: CRITICAL: Ensure you are NOT working on the main branch.

   • Run git branch --show-current.
   • If the current branch is main, you MUST create and switch to a new descriptive branch:

     git checkout -b <new-branch-name>
     

2. Commit Changes: Verify that all intended changes are committed.

   • Run git status to check for unstaged or uncommitted changes.
   • If there are uncommitted changes, stage and commit them with a descriptive message before proceeding. NEVER commit directly to main.

     git add .
     git commit -m "type(scope): description"
     

3. 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).

4. Read Template: Read the content of the identified template file.

5. 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").

6. Preflight Check: Before creating the PR, run the workspace preflight script to ensure all build, lint, and test checks pass.

   npm run preflight
   

   If any checks fail, address the issues before proceeding to create the PR.
