## When to use

**Only** when the user explicitly asks to create, submit, or open a Pull Request.
Do NOT invoke this skill for plain commit or push requests.

## Procedure

1. **Verify & clean** — ensure changes are complete, correct, and free of debug artifacts
2. **Detect default branch** — determine the repository default branch first, for example:
   - `DEFAULT_BRANCH=$(GH_PAGER= gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef -q '.defaultBranchRef.name')`
2. **Commit & push**:
   - If on `$DEFAULT_BRANCH`, create a new feature branch first (avoid name conflicts)
   - Commit all changes and push to remote
3. **Create or update PR**:
   - Check if current branch already has a PR (`gh pr list --head <BRANCH> --base "$DEFAULT_BRANCH"`)
   - **Exists**: update title/description to reflect new commits
   - **None**: create PR against `$DEFAULT_BRANCH` with title/description derived from changes

## Output

- What changed, why, impact, and how to verify
