/pre-submit-pr

Validate changes before submitting a pull request.

Usage

/pre-submit-pr

Instructions

  1. Lint & format (for changes under code/):

    cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/code" && uvx ruff@0.14.5 check . && uvx ruff@0.14.5 format --check .
    

    Auto-fix with uvx ruff@0.14.5 check --fix . and uvx ruff@0.14.5 format . if issues are found. The ruff@0.14.5 pin matches .github/workflows/lint.yml; unpinned uvx ruff can diverge from CI.

  2. Changelog (for changes under code/): CI requires code/CHANGELOG.md to be modified for any PR touching code/ (format is convention, not enforced). Check that an entry exists under ## Unreleased for this PR, format: - YYYY-MM-DD: [PR #N](https://github.com/natolambert/rlhf-book/pull/N) description.

  3. Run code review (for significant changes): Invoke pr-review-toolkit:review-pr for deeper analysis. Include findings in the report under a "### Code Review" section.

  4. Summarize PR readiness
