check-existing-pr

What problem does it solves? Accidentally creating duplicate pull requests or not knowing if a PR already exists for a feature branch can lead to confusion, wasted effort, and merge conflicts. This Skill intelligently checks for existing PRs.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Current Branch Detection: Automatically identifies the current git branch to query for associated pull requests.
• GitHub CLI Integration: Leverages gh CLI to efficiently query GitHub for any existing PRs linked to the current branch.
• PR Status Analysis: Parses PR details (number, title, URL, state, draft status) and checks the status of associated CI checks.
• Resumption Recommendation: Provides a clear recommendation for workflow resumption based on the PR's status (e.g., "Monitor CI checks," "Fix failing CI checks," "Create pull request").
• Use Case: Before initiating a new Pull Request in a conductor workflow, use this Skill to verify if one already exists, preventing duplicates and guiding the workflow to the correct next step.
