SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Keeping an open pull request in sync with ongoing work requires several manual steps: pulling incoming changes, running compile and hygiene checks, committing new work, and updating the PR title and description. This Skill automates that entire update cycle for the current session's pull request. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Incoming Change Sync: Detects commits on the pull request that are missing locally, pulls them in, and resolves merge conflicts. - Build and Hygiene Validation: Runs compile and hygiene tasks and fixes any errors before pushing. - Automatic Commit and Metadata Refresh: Commits uncommitted changes via the /commit skill and updates the PR title and description when changes are significant. - Use Case: A reviewer left feedback on your PR and you have addressed it locally. Invoke this Skill to sync, validate, commit, and push the updates with a refreshed PR description in one flow. ## Quick Start Update the pull request for the current session with my latest changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update an existing pull request with new changes?▼

Invoke the update-pr skill for the current session. It pulls any incoming changes from the PR, runs compile and hygiene tasks, commits uncommitted work, and pushes the new commits to the existing pull request.

How to sync a pull request branch with remote commits?▼

The skill first checks for commits on the pull request that are not present on your current branch. It pulls those incoming changes into your branch and resolves any merge conflicts before proceeding with validation and push.

Does updating a pull request run build checks first?▼

Yes. Before pushing, the skill runs the compile and hygiene tasks and fixes any errors it encounters. This ensures the updated pull request only receives changes that pass local validation.

Will the pull request title and description change automatically?▼

Only when the outgoing commits introduce significant changes to the pull request. In that case the skill updates the PR title and description to reflect the new scope; minor updates leave the existing metadata untouched.

What happens if there are merge conflicts when updating a PR?▼

The skill pulls the incoming changes and resolves merge conflicts as part of the sync step. After conflicts are resolved, it continues with compile checks, committing, and pushing the updated branch.
