What does the Cpr skill do?

Clean the diff, then open or refresh the PR/MR — one pass, ending in the linked URL. Use for /cpr, "clean and PR", "tidy it up and push the PR", or any handoff where polish and the PR should happen together. It is listed under Coding & Dev Tools on SkillMD.

File contents

CPR (clean → PR)

clean then pr-update, in that order, without asking between them. Use it when the work is done and the branch should end up as a PR someone can read.

Run the two skills for real — this file is the sequence, not a replacement for their contents.

Steps

Clean (clean). Re-read the diff, cut dead code and debug logging, extend existing helpers instead of paralleling them, match neighboring style. Polish only — this is not a test/tsc/lint run.
Shape + publish (pr-update). Topical commits, title and body that describe the change as a whole, media in an existing body preserved verbatim, prose through no-tropes.
End with the PR/MR as a markdown link — number and full forge URL.

Order matters

Clean first, always. Committing then cleaning means the commit split describes code you already threw away, and the PR body describes a diff that no longer exists.

Stop conditions

UI work: don't start until the user likes the UI (ui-only).
Nothing to clean is a valid outcome — say so in one line and go to step 2.
Don't stall on a clean pass. If polish keeps expanding, that's scope creep; ship the narrow version.

Scope

In: polish the diff, shape commits, create or update the PR/MR, print the link.
Out: CI and review threads (pr-ready), triage/salvage (pr-triage), stacked bases (stacked-pr), merging.
