Github Pr Enhance

GitHub PR Enhancement Skill

Analyzes an existing pull request on the current branch, compares its description against the actual implementation, and enhances it with accurate details, examples, and diagrams.

Workflow

1. Get PR Info

Determine which PR to enhance based on user input:

Scenario A: Current branch PR (default)

gh pr view --json number,url,title,body,baseRefName,headRefName

If no PR exists for the current branch, inform the user and stop.

Scenario B: PR number for current repo User provides just a number (e.g., 123):

gh pr view 123 --json number,url,title,body,baseRefName,headRefName

Scenario C: Explicit repo + PR User provides one of:

• owner/repo#123 or owner/repo 123
• https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123

Parse owner, repo, and PR number, then:

gh pr view 123 --repo owner/repo --json number,url,title,body,baseRefName,headRefName

2. Gather PR Context

Step 1: Get the current diff

Option A: Local git (preferred when working in the PR's repo) If the current directory is a clone of the PR's repository:

git diff {baseRefName}...HEAD

Option B: GitHub API (for remote repos) If working outside the repo or the repo isn't cloned locally, use mcp__github__pull_request_read:

method: "get_diff"
owner: {repo_owner}
repo: {repo_name}
pullNumber: {pr_number}

Step 2: Get linked issues/PRs Scan the PR body for references like:

• #123, fixes #123, closes #123
• Full URLs to issues or PRs

For each reference, use mcp__github__issue_read or mcp__github__pull_request_read to fetch details.

Step 3: Get linked documents If the PR body contains URLs to documentation or specs, use WebFetch to retrieve relevant context.

3. Identify Gaps & Staleness

Compare the current PR description against the actual diff:

4. Enhance with Rich Content

API Examples: For PRs touching HTTP endpoints, REST APIs, or RPC methods:

**Request:**
POST /api/resource
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "field": "value"
}

**Response:**
HTTP 201 Created

{
  "id": "abc123",
  "field": "value"
}

Code Examples: For library/SDK changes, show usage:

// Before
let result = old_function(arg);

// After
let result = new_function(arg, options)?;

Mermaid Diagrams: For architectural changes, create a unified diagram:

flowchart LR
    A[Component A] --> B[Old Component]
    A --> C[New Component]
    C --> D[New Dependency]

    style B fill:#ffcccc,stroke:#ff0000
    style C fill:#ccffcc,stroke:#00ff00
    style D fill:#ccffcc,stroke:#00ff00

Legend:

• Red = Removed
• Green = Added

5. Draft and Review (REQUIRED)

IMPORTANT: Always present the proposed changes for review before updating.

Present in this format:

## PR Enhancement Draft

**Repository:** {owner}/{repo}
**PR:** #{number} - {title}

### Current Description
---
{current body}
---

### Proposed Description
---
{enhanced body with changes}
---

### Summary of Changes
- [List what was added/changed/removed]

Would you like me to update the PR with this enhanced description, or would you like to make any changes?

Wait for explicit user confirmation before proceeding.

6. Update the PR

Only after user confirmation, use mcp__github__update_pull_request with:

owner: {repo_owner}
repo: {repo_name}
pullNumber: {pr_number}
body: {enhanced_body}

Optionally update the title if it's also stale.

Report the updated PR URL when complete.
