create-pull-request

A procedure for creating a GitHub pull request, which is a request to merge code changes into a shared branch, using the project's preferred command-line workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when the user explicitly asks to open a pull request from the current branch.
Why use it?
It checks that the branch is current and makes the pull request title match the actual commits, avoiding stale or misleading requests.

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-pull-request 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.

What it actually says

Create Pull Request

Use the code:cli, git-workflow, and git-commit skills when available. Only create a PR when the user has explicitly asked for one.

Confirm the branch is on top of upstream main

Fetch first, then test whether the branch already contains the tip of origin/main:

git fetch origin
git merge-base --is-ancestor origin/main HEAD
  • Non-zero means the branch is behind. Offer to rebase onto origin/main before creating the PR rather than opening a stale PR.

Set the title from the actual commit message

Never type the title from memory. Read it from git in a subshell so it matches exactly.

First count the commits the branch adds over origin/main:

git rev-list --count origin/main..HEAD
  • if one commit, then the title is that commit's message.

    git log -1 --pretty=%s
    
  • More than one: write a short one-sentence summary title — same style as a commit message (present-tense verb, one line, no trailing paragraphs).

Keep the body empty

Always pass an explicit empty string for the body so gh does not prompt or auto-fill.

--body ""

Create the PR

When a browser is available, open the prefilled page for final review:

gh pr create --web --title "$(git log -1 --pretty=%s)" --body ""

On a headless system without a browser, drop --web:

gh pr create --title "$(git log -1 --pretty=%s)" --body ""
Changes

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.
