create-pr

A procedure for opening a pull request, which is a proposed change submitted for review in a code repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps prepare and submit pull requests that follow the project’s review and automation rules.
Why use it?
It checks the repository’s CI rules, title requirements, branch restrictions, and local checks before creating the 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 yesterday.

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

Create Pull Request

Audit the repository's PR configuration, verify CI is green, then open the PR.


Phase 1 — Audit PR requirements

Read the repository's PR configuration before touching git.

1a. Read all workflow files

find .github/workflows -name "*.yml" -o -name "*.yaml" | sort

For each workflow file, identify:

  • Jobs triggered by pull_request events
  • Any title validation steps (e.g. pr-title-checker, action-semantic-pull-request)
  • Required status checks that must pass

1b. Check PR title format

Look for .github/pr-title-checker-config.json and read it to extract the allowed prefix pattern.

If not found, check for a workflow step that enforces title format and read its config.

1c. Check branch rules

Read .github/rulesets/*.json if present. Note:

  • Required merge method (Specs projects use merge commits only — no squash/rebase)
  • Required status checks

1d. Summarise before proceeding

Report:

  • What CI jobs will run on this PR
  • Required title format / prefix
  • Any merge restrictions

Phase 2 — Run CI checks locally

Invoke the ci-green-check skill — it runs whatever checks are discovered in Phase 1 that can run locally, and hands off to php-checks in Laravel/PHP projects.

Do not proceed to Phase 3 if any check fails.


Phase 3 — Ensure branch and commits are ready

  • Confirm the working tree is clean (git status)
  • Confirm not on main/master/develop — if so, create a branch first:
    git checkout -b kebab-case-description
    
    Use the Linear issue slug as the branch name if one was provided.
  • Commit messages must be a single subject line — no body, no bullet points.
  • Never add a Co-Authored-By trailer or mention Claude in any commit message.

Phase 4 — Create the PR

git push -u origin HEAD
gh pr create --title "PREFIX: short description" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
- ...
EOF
)"

Title rules

  • Match the format discovered in Phase 1
  • If a Linear issue number was provided: PREFIX-543: description
  • If no issue number is available: fall back to 000 as the issue number, e.g. PREFIX-000: description. This is the standard fallback — do not ask the user for an issue number when one wasn't provided. Derive PREFIX from the title-checker config pattern, or from the prefix used by existing branches/PRs.
  • Never omit the colon and space after the prefix

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 specsnl/agent-specs (2 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 763 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
