Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads creating-pr automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Creating a PR
Package work into a pull request that's easy to review and merge.
Workflow
1. Prepare the Branch
Before creating the PR:
# Ensure branch is up to date with base
git fetch origin
git rebase origin/main # or merge, depending on project convention
# Check what will be in the PR
git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline
git diff origin/main --stat
Squash fixup commits if the project prefers clean history. Keep logical commits separate if the project prefers granular history.
2. Write the Title
Format: <type>: <short description>
| Type | When |
|---|---|
feat | New feature |
fix | Bug fix |
refactor | Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature |
docs | Documentation only |
test | Adding or fixing tests |
chore | Build, CI, deps, or tooling |
perf | Performance improvement |
Examples:
feat: add dark mode toggle to settings pagefix: prevent duplicate form submissions on checkoutrefactor: extract auth middleware into shared module
3. Write the Description
Use this structure:
## Summary
1-3 sentences explaining what this PR does and why.
Closes #123
## Changes
- Added `ThemeToggle` component with system/light/dark options
- Updated `Layout` to read theme from context
- Added theme persistence to localStorage
## Test Plan
- [ ] Toggle between light/dark/system themes
- [ ] Refresh page — theme persists
- [ ] Check no flash of unstyled content on load
4. Self-Review
Before requesting review:
- Read every line of the diff yourself
- Remove debug code (
console.log,TODO, commented-out code) - Verify tests pass:
npm test - Verify types:
npx tsc --noEmit - Verify lint:
npm run lint - Check for files that shouldn't be committed (
.env, lockfile conflicts)
5. Create the PR
git push -u origin HEAD
gh pr create --title "<title>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
...
## Changes
...
## Test Plan
...
EOF
)"
6. Request Review
- Tag the appropriate reviewers (code owners, domain experts)
- If the PR is large (>400 lines), add a comment explaining the best order to review files
- If the PR depends on another PR, note it in the description
- Label the PR appropriately (feature, bug, breaking change, etc.)
Tips
- Small PRs get reviewed faster — aim for <300 lines changed
- If a PR is too big, split it into stacked PRs
- Screenshots/recordings for UI changes make review much faster
- Draft PRs are useful for early feedback before the work is complete
