GitHub PR Creation

Creates Pull Requests with task validation, test execution, and Conventional Commits formatting.

Quick Start

# 1. Verify GitHub CLI
gh --version && gh auth status

# 2. Gather information
git log develop..HEAD --oneline
git diff develop --stat
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD

# 3. Run project tests
make test  # or: pytest, npm test

# 4. Create PR
gh pr create --title "..." --body "..." --base develop --label feature

Core Workflow

1. Verify Environment

gh --version && gh auth status

If not installed: brew install gh then gh auth login

2. Confirm Target Branch

Always ask user:

I'm about to create a PR from [current-branch] to [target-branch]. Is this correct?
- feature branch → develop (90% of cases)
- develop → master/main (releases)

3. Gather Information

# Current branch
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD

# Commits since base branch
git log [base-branch]..HEAD --oneline

# Files changed
git diff [base-branch] --stat

# Remote tracking status
git status -sb

4. Search for Task Documentation

Look for task files in these locations:

1. .kiro/specs/*/tasks.md
2. docs/specs/*/tasks.md
3. specs/*/tasks.md
4. Any tasks.md in project root

5. Analyze Commits

For each commit, identify:

• Type: feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore, ci, perf, style
• Scope: component/module affected (kebab-case)
• Task references: look for task X.Y, Task X, #X.Y patterns
• Breaking changes: exclamation mark (!) or BREAKING CHANGE in body

6. Run Tests

Detect and run project tests:

• Makefile: make test
• package.json: npm test
• Python: pytest

Tests MUST pass before creating PR.

7. Determine PR Type

8. Generate PR Content

Title format: <type>(<scope>): <description>

• Type: dominant commit type (feat > fix > refactor)
• Scope: most common scope from commits (kebab-case)
• Description: imperative, lowercase, no period, max 50 chars

Body structure:

## Summary
- Key change 1
- Key change 2

## Changes
- List of specific changes

## Test Plan
- [ ] Unit tests passing
- [ ] Integration tests passing
- [ ] Manual testing done

## Related
- Refs: Task N, Issue #X

9. Suggest Labels

Check available labels: gh label list

10. Create PR

Show content to user first, then:

gh pr create --title "[title]" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
[body content]
EOF
)" --base [base_branch] --label [labels]

Information Gathering Checklist

Before generating PR, ensure you have:

• Current branch name
• Base branch confirmed with user
• List of commits with types and scopes
• Files changed summary
• Task documentation (if exists)
• Test results (must pass)
• Available labels in repo

Important Rules

• NEVER modify repository files (read-only analysis)
• ALWAYS confirm target branch with user
• ALWAYS run tests before creating PR
• ALWAYS show PR content for approval before creating
• NEVER create PR without user confirmation
• ALWAYS use HEREDOC for body to preserve formatting
