Create Pull Request
Create a pull request with a well-structured description based on the branch changes.
Instructions
1. Gather Context
First, collect information about the changes:
# Get current branch and verify it's not main
git branch --show-current
# Get commit history for this branch
git log --oneline main..HEAD
# Get detailed commit messages for context
git log --format="### %s%n%n%b" main..HEAD
# Get file change statistics
git diff --stat main..HEAD
# Get the actual diff for understanding changes
git diff main..HEAD
2. Analyze the Changes
Based on the gathered information, determine:
- What changed: Categorize changes (features, fixes, refactors, docs, tests)
- Why it changed: Infer motivation from commit messages and code changes
- Impact: Breaking changes, new dependencies, migrations needed
- Testing: What tests were added/modified, how to verify manually
3. Check for Related Issues
Look for issue references:
- In commit messages (e.g., "fixes #123", "closes #456")
- In branch name (e.g.,
fix/issue-123-description) - In code comments or TODOs addressed
4. Generate PR Description
Create the PR using this template structure:
gh pr create --title "<type>(<scope>): <description>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
<1-3 sentence overview of what this PR does and why>

5. Title Format
Use conventional commit format for the PR title:
feat(scope): add new featurefix(scope): correct bug behaviorrefactor(scope): restructure without behavior changedocs(scope): update documentationtest(scope): add or modify testschore(scope): maintenance tasks
6. Apply Labels
After creating the PR, apply appropriate labels based on the changes. Use gh pr edit <number> --add-label <label>.
Check the repository's available labels first:
gh label list
Common Type Labels
| Label | When to Use |
|---|---|
enhancement |
New features, capabilities, or improvements |
bug |
Bug fixes |
documentation |
Documentation-only changes |
breaking-change |
User-facing breaking changes requiring migration |
Breaking Change Criteria
Only apply breaking-change for user-facing changes that require users to modify their:
- Configuration files
- CLI invocations
- API integrations
Do NOT apply for internal refactors unless they affect external consumers.
7. After Creation
After creating the PR:
- Display the PR URL with applied labels
- Suggest adding reviewers if appropriate
- Note if any CI checks need to pass
Guidelines
DO:
- Be specific about what changed and why
- Include testing evidence
- Link related issues
- Note breaking changes prominently
- Remove empty optional sections
DON'T:
- Include irrelevant commits (keep PR focused)
- Leave placeholder text in the description
- Skip the testing section
- Create PRs without running local checks first
