Pr

Creating and updating Pull Requests

Orchestrator: collect data, generate the body, create or update the PR. Runs autonomously — no confirmation prompts.

Input

$ARGUMENTS — optional flags (--draft, --base <branch>).

Step 1 — Collect

One call (returns small fields and file paths, not contents):

bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/pr-collect.sh

Parse the structured block. Single-value fields are KEY: value; list fields (COMMITS, AVAILABLE_LABELS) span from the line after KEY: to the next top-level KEY:.

Also read the flow map for the base branch: bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/flow-read.sh — key BRANCH_CASCADE (a branch chain or none).

Step 2 — Decide

Blocking errors (from ERRORS) — report and stop:

• gh: not_installed → "Install gh CLI: https://cli.github.com"
• gh: not_authenticated → "Authenticate: gh auth login"
• on default branch → "PR from the default branch is not possible"
• no commits → "No commits. Push first: /yoke:gp"

Decisions:

• MODE — PR_EXISTS = true → UPDATE; otherwise CREATE.
• DATA_SOURCE — REVIEW_FILE ≠ NOT_FOUND → yoke_full; REVIEW_FILE = NOT_FOUND and REPORT_FILE ≠ NOT_FOUND → yoke_partial; neither → fallback.
• IS_DRAFT (CREATE only) — true if $ARGUMENTS contains --draft, else false. Do not ask.
• BASE_BRANCH — --base <branch> from $ARGUMENTS wins; else, when BRANCH_CASCADE ≠ none, the cascade's first branch (where PRs land); else DEFAULT_BRANCH.

Step 3 — Generate body

Run pr-body-generator (Sonnet) via the Agent tool:

• Agent: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/pr/agents/pr-body-generator.md
• Pass: DATA_SOURCE, MODE, TICKET_ID, REVIEW_FILE, REPORT_FILE, PR_TEMPLATE, PR_BODY_FILE, PR_HAS_YOKE_MARKERS, COMMITS, DIFF_STAT

The agent reads the artifact files itself (by path) and returns ready markdown. Large content never enters the orchestrator.

Step 4 — Execute

Write the returned markdown to a temp file (e.g. /tmp/yoke-pr-body.md) and use --body-file to avoid shell-escaping issues.

Title — <TICKET_ID> <subject of the first commit in COMMITS> (omit ticket if none; derive it from data the orchestrator already has, not from the generated body). On UPDATE, keep the existing title and leave the draft state unchanged.

CREATE:

gh pr create --title "$TITLE" --body-file /tmp/yoke-pr-body.md --base "$BASE_BRANCH" [--draft]

UPDATE:

gh pr edit "$PR_NUMBER" --body-file /tmp/yoke-pr-body.md

Labels — map COMMIT_TYPES → labels, add only those present in AVAILABLE_LABELS:

gh pr edit <NUMBER> --add-label "<label>"

Notify (final artifact of the cycle):

bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/notify.sh --type STAGE_COMPLETE --skill pr --title "PR $MODE" --body "$PR_URL"

Print:

PR <created|updated>: <URL>
  Title: <title>
  Labels: <labels>
  Ticket: <TICKET_ID>
  Source: <DATA_SOURCE>

Do not ask a follow-up question.

Rules

• Runs autonomously: no confirmation prompts.
• Delegate body synthesis to pr-body-generator (Sonnet); it reads artifact files itself, so large content never enters the orchestrator.
• Wrap the PR body in <!-- yoke:start/end --> markers; on update, preserve text outside them.
• Assign only labels that exist in the repository.
• Limit: max 30 commits.

Reference files

• reference/pr-body-format.md — PR body format, section mapping, markers, template integration, auto-link, auto-labels (read by the generator).
