# Create Pull Request

[PROJ-XXXXX] Short imperative summary
```

- `[PM-12345] Add passkey support to vault item creation`
- `[CL-1124] Increase badge max-width`
- `[PM-33446] Ensure attachments are cleared on clone`

**Rules:**

- Include the Jira ticket prefix (e.g. `PM-`, `CL-`)
- Keep under 70 characters total
- Use imperative mood in the summary

---

## PR Body Template

**IMPORTANT:** Always follow the repo's PR template at `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`. Add TODO items to the screenshots section for each scenario that should be captured if any.

---

## Pre-PR Checklist

1. **All tests pass**: Run `npm test`
2. **Lint clean**: Run `npm run lint`
3. **No unintended changes**: Check `git diff origin/main...HEAD` for unexpected files
4. **Branch up to date**: Rebase on `main` if needed

---

## Creating the PR

```bash
# Ensure branch is pushed
git push -u origin <branch-name>

# Create PR as draft by default (body follows .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md)
gh pr create --draft --title "[PM-XXXXX] Short summary" --body "<fill in from PR template>"
```

**Default to draft PRs.** Only create a non-draft (ready for review) PR if the user explicitly requests it.

---

## Base Branch

- Default target: `main`
- Check with team if targeting a feature branch instead
