Commit Pr

When to Use

• User explicitly runs /commit-pr command
• User asks to "commit and create a PR"
• User wants to submit changes for review

Prerequisites

• gh CLI must be installed and authenticated
• Repository must be hosted on GitHub

# Verify gh is available and authenticated
gh auth status

Execution Flow

Step 1: Execute Commit Flow

First, execute the full /commit workflow:

1. Analyze changes (git status, git diff)
2. Generate commit message (Conventional Commits)
3. Stage and commit
4. Push to remote

See .claude/skills/commit/SKILL.md for details.

Step 2: Gather PR Context

# Get current branch
git branch --show-current

# Get base branch (usually main)
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD | sed 's@^refs/remotes/origin/@@'

# Get all commits in this branch (not in base)
git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline

# Get full diff against base
git diff origin/main...HEAD --stat

Step 3: Generate PR Content

Title: Based on the commit message or branch purpose

• If single commit: Use commit message as title
• If multiple commits: Summarize the feature/fix

Body: Structured summary using this template:

## Summary
<1-3 bullet points describing the changes>

## Test plan
- [ ] <Testing checklist items>

---

Step 4: Create Pull Request

gh pr create --title "<title>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
- <change 1>
- <change 2>

## Test plan
- [ ] <test item 1>
- [ ] <test item 2>

)"

Optional flags:

• --base <branch> - Target branch (default: main)
• --draft - Create as draft PR
• --label <label> - Add labels
• --assignee @me - Assign to self
• --reviewer <user> - Request review

Step 5: Verify and Report

# Get PR URL
gh pr view --web

Output Format

After successful execution, display:

Commit: <hash> <type>(<scope>): <subject>
Branch: <branch-name> -> main
PR: #<number> <title>
URL: https://github.com/<org>/<repo>/pull/<number>
Status: Ready for review

PR Title Guidelines

Rules:

• Capitalize first letter
• No period at end
• Be descriptive but concise
• Include scope if helpful

PR Body Guidelines

Summary Section

• 1-3 bullet points
• Focus on WHAT and WHY
• Link to issues if applicable: Closes #123

Test Plan Section

• List manual testing steps
• Note any automated tests added
• Include edge cases to verify

Example Body

## Summary
- Add ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 validation in CreateBookHandler
- Implement checksum verification for both formats
- Add descriptive error messages for invalid ISBNs

Closes #234

## Test plan
- [ ] Create book with valid ISBN-10

Edge Cases

PR Already Exists

# Check if PR exists for current branch
gh pr list --head $(git branch --show-current)

If PR exists, show link instead of creating new one.

Branch Not Pushed

The commit flow handles this automatically with git push -u origin <branch>.

No GitHub Remote

Error: Repository doesn't have a GitHub remote.
This command requires a GitHub-hosted repository.

gh Not Authenticated

Error: GitHub CLI not authenticated.
Run: gh auth login
