Create a pull request from staged changes with a generated branch, title, and description.
Create a PR from staged changes with auto-generated branch, title, and description. Use this skill whenever the user wants to create a pull request, ship changes, open a PR, send code for review, or push staged work to GitHub — even if they don't explicitly say "PR".

Original instructions from the publisher’s SKILL.md
Create a pull request with automatically generated title and description based on staged changes.
Before starting, read relevant memory files (especially PR-related feedback
memories). Memory preferences override the defaults below.
**User instructions:** $ARGUMENTS
If user instructions are non-empty, parse them for the following hints (they are free-form text, not structured flags):
- **"draft"** → create the PR as a draft
- **"fork"** → push to the user's own fork instead of `origin`
- **"reuse-branch"** → reuse the current branch instead of creating a new one (default is to create a new branch)
- **A base branch** (e.g., "base: shreyan/project/pr1", "base is master") → use as the PR base branch instead of auto-detecting
- **A project name** (e.g., "project is spice", "project: resharding") → use as the project instead of auto-detecting
- **A change type** (e.g., "type: fix", "type is refactor") → use as the change type instead of auto-detecting
- **Any other text** → treat as extra context to incorporate into the PR description
Follow these steps in order:
1. **Validate:**
- Record the current branch name
- Run `git diff --cached` to capture the staged diff. If empty, warn the user and stop
- If there are unstaged changes, briefly warn the user that they won't be included in the PR
- Do NOT analyze unstaged changes
- Fetch the GitHub username by running: `gh api user --jq .login`
- **Determine `reuse-branch` and base branch:**
- If user instructions specify "reuse-branch", set `reuse-branch = true`.
- Otherwise, set `reuse-branch = false` (this is the default).
- **Base branch:** if user instructions specify a base branch, use that. If `reuse-branch` is true, use `master`. Otherwise, use the current branch.
- When `reuse-branch` is true, use the current branch name as the branch name.
- **Detect push remote:**
- If user instructions contain "fork", determine the user's fork remote:
1. List remotes: `git remote -v`
2. Look for a remote whose URL contains the GitHub username (e.g., `github.com/{username}/`). This is the fork remote.
3. Record the fork remote name for later use.
- If "fork" is not specified, the push remote is `origin`.
2. **Analyze staged changes** (reuse the diff output from Step 1):
- Read the modified files to understand the surrounding code context
- Identify the project/area (e.g., spice, resharding, state-sync, ci). If changes span multiple projects, pick the most dominant one. If user instructions specify a project, use that instead.
- Read the `CONTRIBUTING.md` "## Pull Requests" section for valid change types and PR title conventions
- Determine the change type (fix, feat, refactor, doc, test, chore, perf, revert). If multiple apply, pick the most dominant. If user instructions specify a type, use that instead.
- Generate a short hyphenated task name, 2-4 words (e.g., `add-metrics`, `fix-header-validation`, `refactor-chunk-apply`)
3. **Generate all details — do NOT run any state-modifying commands (no creating branches, committing, or pushing) in this step:**
- **Branch name (local)** and **remote branch name:**
- If `reuse-branch` is true: the local branch name is the current branch. Skip collision checks.
- Otherwise, generate a new local branch name:
- If pushing to a fork: `{project}/{task}`
- If pushing to origin: `{username}/{project}/{task}`
- Check for collisions: `git branch --list <name>` (local) and `git ls-remote --heads <push-remote> <name>` (remote)
- On collision, append `-2`, `-3`, etc.
- **Remote branch name:** when pushing to origin, the remote branch must have the `{username}/` prefix. If the local branch name already starts with `{username}/`, the remote name is the same. Otherwise, prepend it: `{username}/{local-branch-name}`. When pushing to a fork, the remote branch name is the same as the local branch name.
- **Commit message:** single line, same style as the PR title
- **PR title:** `<type>(<project>): <title>` — title must be lowercase (per `CONTRIBUTING.md`)
- Example: `feat(state-sync): add metrics tracking`
- **PR description:**
- Concise summary of what changed and why. Use prose, bullet points, or a mix — whatever fits the change best. A one-line description is fine for small changes.
- Incorporate any extra context from user instructions
- Do not include implementation details, test plan sections, or AI attribution
- **Draft:** true if user instructions contain "draft", false otherwise
- **Push remote:** the fork remote name if "fork" was specified, otherwise `origin`
4. **Confirm with user:**
- First, print the details in exactly this format (no horizontal rules, no extra fields):
```
Branch: <local-branch-name> (remote: <remote-branch-name>)
Push remote: <push-remote>
Base branch: <base-branch>
Draft: Yes/No
PR title: <title>
PR description:
<description>
```
- Then use `AskUserQuestion` with two options: "Yes, create PR" / "Abort"
- Do NOT put the details inside the `AskUserQuestion` options
- The user can select "Other" (built-in) to provide edits — apply their changes and re-confirm
- If "Abort": stop immediately. Nothing was modified, so no cleanup is needed.
5. **Execute — only after user confirms:**
- If `reuse-branch` is false, create the branch: `git checkout -b <branch-name>`
- Commit staged changes using a HEREDOC for the message:
```
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<commit message>
EOF
)"
```
- Push: `git push -u <push-remote> <local-branch-name>:<remote-branch-name>`
(If local and remote names are the same, `git push -u <push-remote> <branch-name>` is fine.)
- Create the PR using a HEREDOC for the body:
- If pushing to a fork, use `--head <username>:<remote-branch-name>`:
```
gh pr create --base <base-branch> --head <username>:<remote-branch-name> \
--title "<title>" \
--body "$(cat <<'EOF'
<description>
EOF
)"
```
- If pushing to origin, use `--head <remote-branch-name>`:
```
gh pr create --base <base-branch> --head <remote-branch-name> \
--title "<title>" \
--body "$(cat <<'EOF'
<description>
EOF
)"
```
Add `--draft` if the draft flag is set.
- Display the PR URL on success
- If push or PR creation fails but the branch was already created locally, tell the user the branch exists and suggest how to retry
