PR Summary Skill
Purpose
Generate a pull request description that follows the project's
.github/pull_request_template.md format. Analyzes all changes on the
current branch compared to main and produces a concise, ready-to-paste
PR body.
Workflow
Step 1: Gather Context
# Current branch name
git branch --show-current
# Commits on this branch vs main
git log main..HEAD --oneline
# Files changed with stats
git diff main...HEAD --stat
# Full diff for analysis
git diff main...HEAD
Step 2: Detect Issue Number
Look for the related issue number from (in priority order):
- Argument passed to the skill
- Branch name (e.g.,
fix/explore-hashtags-empty-view-> search issues) - Commit messages (e.g.,
Closes #1461)
Step 3: Analyze Changes
Read the diff and identify:
- What the change does (1-3 sentences max)
- Which type of change it is (bug fix, feature, refactor, etc.)
- Key architectural decisions (layers affected, new files, patterns used)
Step 4: Output
Output the PR body as a raw markdown code block so the user can copy-paste it directly into the GitHub PR description field.
Wrap the entire output in a fenced code block with the markdown language tag:
```markdown
<the PR body here>
```
Output Template
The content inside the code block must follow this structure exactly:
## Description
[1-3 sentence summary of what changed and why]
**Related Issue:** Closes #[number]
## Type of Change
- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
- [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
- [ ] Code refactor
- [ ] Build configuration change
- [ ] Documentation
- [ ] Chore
Only check the applicable type ([x]). Keep the description short and focused
on the "what" and "why", not implementation details. Reviewers can read
the diff for the "how".
Rules
- Output as code block: Always wrap the full PR body in a
```markdownfenced code block so the user can copy-paste directly into GitHub. - Be concise: 1-3 sentences for description. No implementation details.
- Follow the template exactly: Use the checkboxes from
pull_request_template.md. - Single type: Only check one type of change unless it genuinely spans multiple.
- Link the issue: Always include
Closes #Nif an issue is known. - No emoji in description: The template already has emoji in the type checkboxes.
- No file lists or tables: The diff is available for reviewers. Don't duplicate it.
