Create a pull request for current branch targeting the repo's base branch.
When to invoke
User says: "/pr", "create a PR", "open a pull request", "push this up for review", or the current branch is ready to be reviewed against the base branch.
Not this: reviewing an existing PR → /review-pr.
Loom routing
Skip this section if your prompt contains LOOM-EXECUTOR — you are the executor; run the skill as specced below. Full protocol: .claude/context/loom.md.
- Resolve:
ROUTE=$(bash bin/loom.sh route pr), thenDECISION_ID=$(printf '%s\n' "$ROUTE" | jq -r '.decision_id // empty'). - If
mode≠delegate, or the user signalled depth ("deep", "think hard",--deep) → run this skill inline as normal. On a depth override, printbash bin/loom.sh footer pr --overrideafter the output and set"override":truein telemetry. - Otherwise delegate: spawn the Agent tool with
subagent_type: "loom-executor",model= the route'stier, prompt =LOOM-DECISION-ID: $DECISION_IDon its own first line, thenLOOM-EXECUTOR: Execute .claude/skills/pr/SKILL.md, plus the user's arguments and any context the spec needs from the session. Print the executor's final output verbatim, then print the output ofbash bin/loom.sh footer pr. - If the spawn fails or the executor's first line is
LOW_CONFIDENCE:— triage the reason: needs-user-interaction or a main-loop-only tool → take over and finish this skill inline (no escalation); genuine uncertainty or failure → reassignROUTE=$(bash bin/loom.sh escalate pr "<reason>"), refreshDECISION_IDfromROUTE, then re-spawn once on the new tier carrying the returned decision ID (sticky for this session). - Telemetry (fire-and-forget):
bash bin/telemetry.sh emit "command" '{"command":"pr","routed":true,"mode":"delegate","model":"<actual>","route_tier":"<table tier>","class":"<class>","escalated":<bool>,"override":<bool>,"source":"<source>"}' 2>/dev/null &
What to do
- Determine which repo — if the user mentions a managed repo (listed in
egregore.json→repos[]), create the PR there. Otherwise use the hub. - Resolve the target base branch:
- Egregore hub repo: call
_get_base_branch - Managed repos: call
_get_base_branch "$REPO" - Both use the validated
base_branchfromegregore.json; a valid config that omits it defaults to"develop", while resolution errors stop before Git changes.BASE_BRANCH=$(bash -c 'SCRIPT_DIR="$PWD"; CONFIG="$PWD/egregore.json"; . "$PWD/bin/lib/config.sh" && _get_base_branch "$1"' _ "${REPO:-}") || { echo "Could not resolve the configured base branch; stopping before Git changes." >&2; exit 1; }
- Egregore hub repo: call
- Summarize branch changes vs base branch
- Draft title and body per
.claude/context/pr-format.md:- Title:
type(scope): imperative summary(≤ 72 chars) — the same grammar as commit subjects (.claude/context/commit-format.md). A single-commit PR reuses its commit subject verbatim when it describes the whole PR. - Body:
## What(1–4 bullets) ·## Why(1–3 sentences) ·## Verification(how it was checked — required when the diff touches non-markdown files; be honest if unverified) ·## Risk/## Linkswhen real · attribution footer of the harness that authored the body (final non-blank line, e.g.🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)) - Show the draft to the user; apply their edits before creating
- Title:

gh pr create --base "$BASE_BRANCH" --title "$TITLE" --body "$BODY"— never--fill, never an empty body (thepr-formatCI check fails bare PRs) - Track PR in graph (fire-and-forget):
