push

A workflow for sending the current Git branch to the shared repository and creating or updating its GitHub pull request. A pull request is a review page for proposed code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when asked to push changes, publish a branch, or create or update the related pull request on GitHub.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes when publishing work, such as pushing to the wrong state or ignoring changes already made on the remote branch. It also specifies what to do when the push is rejected or authentication fails.

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

push 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 — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Push

Prerequisites

  • gh CLI is installed and available in PATH.
  • gh auth status succeeds for GitHub operations in this repo.

Goals

  • Push current branch changes to origin safely.
  • Create a PR if none exists for the branch, otherwise update the existing PR.
  • Keep branch history clean when remote has moved.
  • pull: use this when push is rejected or sync is not clean (non-fast-forward, merge conflict risk, or stale branch).

Steps

  1. Identify current branch and confirm remote state.

  2. Run local validation (make -C elixir all) before pushing.

  3. Push branch to origin with upstream tracking if needed, using whatever remote URL is already configured.

  4. If push is not clean/rejected:

    • If the failure is a non-fast-forward or sync problem, run the pull skill to merge origin/main, resolve conflicts, and rerun validation.
    • Push again; use --force-with-lease only when history was rewritten.
    • If the failure is due to auth, permissions, or workflow restrictions on the configured remote, stop and surface the exact error instead of rewriting remotes or switching protocols as a workaround.
  5. Ensure a PR exists for the branch:

    • If no PR exists, create one.
    • If a PR exists and is open, update it.
    • If branch is tied to a closed/merged PR, create a new branch + PR.
    • Write a proper PR title that clearly describes the change outcome
    • For branch updates, explicitly reconsider whether current PR title still matches the latest scope; update it if it no longer does.
  6. Write/update PR body explicitly using .github/pull_request_template.md:

    • Fill every section with concrete content for this change.
    • Replace all placeholder comments (<!-- ... -->).
    • Keep bullets/checkboxes where template expects them.
    • If PR already exists, refresh body content so it reflects the total PR scope (all intended work on the branch), not just the newest commits, including newly added work, removed work, or changed approach.
    • Do not reuse stale description text from earlier iterations.
  7. Validate PR body with mix pr_body.check and fix all reported issues.

  8. Reply with the PR URL from gh pr view.

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.

push is a skill published in the GitHub repository openai/symphony (26,987 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,050 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
