Create PR from Commits

Overview

Automate pull request creation by extracting information from git commits and filling the repository's PR template. This eliminates manual repetition while ensuring PRs contain complete, accurate information.

When to Use

Use when:

• User asks to "create a PR"
• User says "make a pull request"
• User requests "submit this for review"
• You've created 2+ PRs in the session (proactively offer this workflow)

Don't use when:

• User wants to manually draft the PR description
• PR requires special context not in commits
• Repository has no PR template

Core Workflow

digraph pr_workflow {
    "User requests PR" [shape=doublecircle];
    "Gather git context" [shape=box];
    "Find PR template" [shape=box];
    "Analyze commits" [shape=box];
    "Fill template" [shape=box];
    "Create PR with gh pr create" [shape=box];
    "Return PR URL" [shape=doublecircle];

    "User requests PR" -> "Gather git context";
    "Gather git context" -> "Find PR template";
    "Find PR template" -> "Analyze commits";
    "Analyze commits" -> "Fill template";
    "Fill template" -> "Create PR with gh pr create";
    "Create PR with gh pr create" -> "Return PR URL";
}

Implementation

Step 1: Prompt for GUS ID (Internal Contributors Only)

For internal Tableau contributors, ask for the GUS work item ID:

What is the GUS work item ID for this PR? (Format: W-12345678)
If you're an external contributor, press Enter to skip.

GUS ID format:

• Starts with @W-
• Followed by 8 digits
• Example: @W-22802840

If the user provides just the number (e.g., "22802840"), prepend @W-. If they provide "W-12345678", prepend @.

If no GUS ID provided: Continue without it - external contributors don't need GUS IDs.

Step 2: Gather Git Context (parallel)

Run these commands in parallel with Bash tool:

# Get all commits since main
git log main..HEAD --format="%h %s%n%b"

# Get full diff
git diff main...HEAD

# Get changed files
git diff main...HEAD --stat

# Check branch tracking
git branch -vv
