gh-create-pr - SKILL.md Agent Skill

name: gh-create-pr description: Create or update GitHub pull requests using the repository-required workflow and template compliance. Use when asked to create/open/update a PR so the assistant reads `.github/pull_request_template.md`, fills every template section, preserves markdown structure exactly, and marks missing data as N/A or None instead of skipping sections.

GitHub PR Creation

Workflow

Read .github/pull_request_template.md before drafting the PR body.
Collect PR context from the current branch (base/head, scope, linked issues, testing status, breaking changes, release note content).
Check if the current branch has been pushed to remote. If not, push it first:
- Default remote is origin, but ask the user if they want to use a different remote.
```
git push -u <remote> <head-branch>
```
Determine the base branch:
- For official repo(CherryHQ/cherry-studio) as origin: default base is main from origin, but allow the user to explicitly indicate a base branch.
- main is the active v2 development line. v1 maintenance fixes (head branch hotfix/*, critical user-facing bug fixes only) must target v1, not main — set the base to v1 for these.
- For fork repo as origin: check available remotes with git remote -v, default base may be upstream/main or another remote. Always assume that user wants to merge head to CherryHQ/cherry-studio/main, unless the user explicitly indicates a base branch.
- Ask the user to confirm the base branch if it's not the default.
Create a temp file and write the PR body:
- Use pr_body_file="$(mktemp /tmp/gh-pr-body-XXXXXX).md"
- Fill content using the template structure exactly (keep section order, headings, checkbox formatting).
- If not applicable, write N/A or None.
Preview the temp file content. Show the file path (e.g., /tmp/gh-pr-body-XXXXXX.md) and ask for explicit confirmation before creating. Skip this step if the user explicitly indicates no preview/confirmation is needed (for example, automation workflows).

After confirmation, create the PR:

gh pr create --base <base> --head <head> --title "<title>" --body-file "$pr_body_file"

Clean up the temp file: rm -f "$pr_body_file"
Report the created PR URL and summarize title/base/head and any required follow-up.

Constraints

Never skip template sections.
Never rewrite the template format.
Keep content concise and specific to the current change set.
PR title and body must be written in English.
Never create the PR before showing the full final body to the user, unless they explicitly waive the preview or confirmation.
Never rely on command permission prompts as PR body preview.

Release note & Documentation checkbox — both are driven by whether the change is user-facing. Use the table below:

Change type	Release note	Docs `[x]`
New user-facing feature / setting / UI	Describe the change	✅
Bug fix visible to users	Describe the fix	✅ if behavior changed
Behavior change / default value change	Describe + `action required`	✅
Security fix in a user-facing dependency	Describe the fix	✅ if usage changed
CI / GitHub Actions changes	`NONE`	❌
Internal refactoring (user cannot tell)	`NONE`	❌
Dev / build tooling changes	`NONE`	❌
Dev-only dependency bump	`NONE`	❌
Test-only / code style changes	`NONE`	❌

Command Pattern

# read template
cat .github/pull_request_template.md

# show this full Markdown body in chat first
pr_body_file="$(mktemp /tmp/gh-pr-body-XXXXXX).md"
cat > "$pr_body_file" <<'EOF'
...filled template body...
EOF

# run only after explicit user confirmation
gh pr create --base <base> --head <head> --title "<title>" --body-file "$pr_body_file"
rm -f "$pr_body_file"
