raise-pr

name: raise-pr description: Create a GitHub PR for FlashList. Ensures no AI/Claude attribution in commits or PR body, follows repo conventions for title, description, and test plan.

Raise a FlashList PR

Prerequisite: Run the review-and-test skill first. All checks must pass and device testing must be done before raising a PR. DO NOT SKIP.

Rules

1. NEVER push directly to main — always create a branch and open a PR.
2. NEVER mention Claude, AI, or any AI tool in commit messages, PR title, PR body, or comments. No Co-Authored-By AI lines. The PR must read as if written entirely by a human.
3. Only raise a PR when explicitly asked by the user (exception: on CI, raise directly as part of the fix workflow).

Step 0 — Kill Background Processes (MANDATORY on CI)

Before creating the branch and PR, kill any background processes you started (Metro, emulators, etc.). On CI, leftover processes prevent the GitHub Actions job from exiting.

lsof -ti:8081 | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null || true

Step 1 — Create Branch and Commit

Branch naming

fix/issue-<number>-<short-slug>
feat/<short-slug>
refactor/<short-slug>

Commit message format

fix(<scope>): <concise description>

Fixes #<number>

Scope examples: layout, hooks, scroll, sticky-headers, recycling, viewability.

Do NOT include:

• Co-Authored-By lines
• Any mention of Claude, AI, Anthropic, or automated tools
• Generated by or Assisted by attributions

Commands

git checkout -b fix/issue-<number>-<short-slug>
git add <specific files>
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
fix(<scope>): <description>

Fixes #<number>
EOF
)"
git push -u origin fix/issue-<number>-<short-slug>

Step 2 — Self-Review

Run git diff HEAD~1 and check for:

• Leftover debug code — console.log, fetch("http://localhost:..."), temporary comments
• Unrelated changes — files or hunks that aren't part of the fix
• Co-Authored-By lines — check with git log -1 --format=full
• Fixture index.js left with forceRTL(true) — always revert before committing

Quick check:

grep -r "console\.\(log\|warn\)\|localhost:9876\|forceRTL(true)" src/ fixture/react-native/index.js --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.js"

Fix any issues found, then amend the commit before proceeding.

Step 3 — Create the PR

PR title

• Under 70 characters
• Same format as commit: fix(<scope>): <description>

PR body template

Always use --body-file — inline --body with markdown # headers triggers Claude Code permission checks and wastes turns. Use the Write tool to create the file (not cat, echo, or touch, which may be blocked by sandbox on CI).

Write the following to /tmp/pr-body.md using the Write tool:

## Description

<1-3 sentences: what the bug was and how the fix works>

Fixes #<number>

## Reviewers' hat-rack :tophat:

<What reviewers should focus on — layout logic, hook behavior, edge cases, etc.>

## Screenshots or videos

<Before/after screenshots if applicable>

## Test plan

- [ ] Unit tests pass (`yarn test`)
- [ ] Type check passes (`yarn type-check`)
- [ ] Lint passes (`yarn lint`)
- [ ] Verified on iOS simulator
- [ ] No regressions on related screens
      EOF

GH_TOKEN="$AGENT_PR_TOKEN" gh pr create \
 --title "fix(<scope>): <description>" \
 --body-file /tmp/pr-body.md

CRITICAL — TOKEN VERIFICATION (read this before running gh pr create)

1. First, verify the token is available: [ -n "$AGENT_PR_TOKEN" ] && echo "token ok" || echo "TOKEN MISSING" — do NOT echo the token value itself.
2. You MUST use GH_TOKEN="$AGENT_PR_TOKEN" gh pr create ... — never bare gh pr create.
3. PRs created with the default GITHUB_TOKEN show as app/github-actions and cannot be merged.
4. After creating the PR, verify the author: gh pr view --json author --jq '.author.login' — it must NOT be app/github-actions.

If AGENT_PR_TOKEN is empty, try SHOPIFY_GH_ACCESS_TOKEN as fallback: GH_TOKEN="${AGENT_PR_TOKEN:-$SHOPIFY_GH_ACCESS_TOKEN}" gh pr create ...

Before running gh pr create, double-check:

• Token is verified (see above)
• No mention of Claude, AI, Anthropic, or any AI tool anywhere
• Description explains the "what" and "why" clearly
• Test plan is specific to the change

Step 4 — Post-Creation

Return the PR URL to the user.

If the user asks to update the PR (interactive only — not available on CI):

git add <files>
git commit --amend --no-edit
git push --force-with-lease

On CI, create a new commit instead of amending — force-push is not permitted.
