# 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.  **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`).

2.  **Read Template**: Read the content of the identified template file.

3.  **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").

4.  **Preflight Check**: Before creating the PR, run the workspace preflight
    script to ensure all build, lint, and test checks pass.
    ```bash
    npm run preflight
    ```
    If any checks fail, address the issues before proceeding to create the PR.

5.  **Create PR**: Use the `gh` CLI to create the PR. To avoid shell escaping
    issues with multi-line Markdown, write the description to a temporary file
    first.
    ```bash
    # 1. Write the drafted description to a temporary file
    # 2. Create the PR using the --body-file flag
    gh pr create --title "type(scope): succinct description" --body-file <temp_file_path>
    # 3. Remove the temporary file
    rm <temp_file_path>
    ```
    - **Title**: Ensure the title follows the
      [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) format if the
      repository uses it (e.g., `feat(ui): add new button`,
      `fix(core): resolve crash`).

## Principles

- **Compliance**: Never ignore the PR template. It exists for a reason.
- **Completeness**: Fill out all relevant sections.
- **Accuracy**: Don't check boxes for tasks you haven't done.
