SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing clear pull request descriptions is repetitive and often skipped, leaving reviewers without context. This Skill automates gathering branch context, drafting a structured PR description, and opening the PR creation page in your browser. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Context Gathering: Collects the base branch, git diff, commit messages, and changed files to understand the full scope of changes. - Structured PR Description: Generates a description following a Summary, Changes, and Testing template grounded in conversation context. - Browser-Based PR Creation: Pushes the branch and opens the GitHub PR creation page via gh pr create --web instead of creating the PR directly. - Use Case: After finishing a feature branch, invoke the Skill to commit pending changes, draft a reviewer-ready description, and land on the pre-filled GitHub PR page for final review. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to open a PR for the current branch against main using the changes made in this session.
