SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing thorough pull request descriptions is repetitive and often skipped, leaving reviewers without context on what changed, why, and how to verify it. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Template-Driven Descriptions: Reads the repository's PR template at thoughts/shared/pr_description.md and fills every section based on actual diff analysis. - Automated Verification: Runs checklist verification commands (like test suites) and marks items checked or explains failures. - End-to-End PR Update: Saves the description to thoughts/shared/prs/{number}_description.md, syncs thoughts, and updates the PR via gh pr edit. - Use Case: After pushing a feature branch, ask the agent to describe the PR; it analyzes the full diff, runs verification steps, and publishes a complete description to GitHub. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to generate a PR description for the current branch's pull request following the repository template.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a PR description automatically with GitHub CLI?▼

Run this skill on a branch with an open PR. It fetches the diff and commits via gh pr diff and gh pr view, analyzes the changes, fills the repository template, and updates the PR body with gh pr edit.

How to fill a pull request template from code changes?▼

The skill reads thoughts/shared/pr_description.md as the template, analyzes the full PR diff and referenced files, then writes a completed description covering each template section including verification checklists.

What happens if the PR description template is missing?▼

The skill checks for thoughts/shared/pr_description.md first. If it does not exist, it stops and instructs you to create the template, since the humanlayer thoughts setup is incomplete.

Can it run verification steps before updating the PR?▼

Yes. It attempts to run runnable checklist commands like test suites and marks items checked on success. Manual verification steps such as UI testing are left unchecked with a note for the user.

Why does gh pr diff fail with no default remote repository?▼

This error occurs when the GitHub CLI has no default remote configured. Run gh repo set-default and select the appropriate repository, then retry the description generation.
