Create Pr

Create Pr

Overview

Create a PR using the standardized template from reductstore/.github, then record the PR number in CHANGELOG.md and commit the changelog without pushing.

Workflow

1) Preconditions

• Ensure gh auth status is logged in and the current branch is the intended PR branch.
• Ensure the working tree is clean (or only the intended changes are present).
• Use context from the current conversation to infer intent, scope, and any constraints.

2) Understand changes and rationale

• Compare the current branch against main to understand what changed and why (use this to derive the PR title, description, and rationale):
  • git fetch origin main
  • git log --oneline origin/main..HEAD
  • git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD
  • git diff origin/main...HEAD
• If the branch name starts with an issue number (e.g., 123-...), use that issue in the rationale and fill the Closes # line in the PR template.
• If the branch name does not include an issue number, infer the likely issue from changes and conversation context, or leave Closes # empty if unsure.

3) Fetch the PR template

Use the helper script to download the latest PR template from reductstore/.github:

./.kilo/skills/create-pr/scripts/fetch_pr_template.sh /tmp/pr_template.md

Fill in the template file with the relevant summary, testing, and rationale derived from the diff and conversation context.

4) Create the PR with gh

Use the filled template as the PR body:

gh pr create --title "<title>" --body-file /tmp/pr_template.md

Capture the PR number after creation:

gh pr view --json number -q .number

5) Update CHANGELOG.md

• Find the appropriate section (usually the most recent/unreleased section).
• Add a new entry following the existing style in the file.
• Include the PR ID as #<number> exactly as prior entries do.

6) Commit (no push)

Stage and commit the changelog update only:

git add CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "Update changelog for PR #<number>"

Do not push.
