Automated summary

Creates a GitHub pull request from a specific worktree by committing changes, pushing to origin, and using GitHub CLI.

Strengths

  • Automates the PR creation workflow from a worktree
  • Supports draft PRs
  • Requires minimal input (worktree name and optional draft flag)

Limitations

  • Requires GitHub CLI to be installed and authenticated
  • Only works if the worktree has a remote branch to push to
  • Assumes all uncommitted changes should be committed
When to use it

Use when you have changes in a worktree and need to create a pull request efficiently.

When not to use it

Do not use when you need to review changes before committing, or when the worktree is not associated with a remote repository.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score90/100

The skill only calls a predefined MCP tool for creating PRs via GitHub CLI. It does not run arbitrary shell commands, handle secrets, or disable safety measures. No destructive or network-exfiltration patterns are present.

How this analysis is made

Examples

Create PR for project ticket
/wt-pr PROJ-123
Create draft PR for feature
/wt-pr auth draft

name: wt-pr description: Create a GitHub PR from a worktree. Use when asked to create a PR, pull request, or submit changes from a worktree. argument-hint: "<name> [draft]" allowed-tools: mcp__worktree-maestro__create_pr

Use the create_pr MCP tool to create a GitHub pull request.

Parse $ARGUMENTS to extract:

  • name (required) - Worktree name, ticket ID, or partial match
  • draft (optional) - Set to true if "draft", "true", "yes", "1", or "-d" is present

Examples

  • /wt-pr PROJ-123 → create PR for worktree matching PROJ-123
  • /wt-pr auth draft → create draft PR for worktree matching "auth"

Actions

The tool will:

  1. Commit any uncommitted changes
  2. Push the branch to origin
  3. Create the PR via GitHub CLI

Report

Report the PR URL when complete.

Note: Requires GitHub CLI (gh) to be installed and authenticated.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/create-github-pr-from-worktree-mm5t8arl/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/create-github-pr-from-worktree-mm5t8arl' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/create-github-pr-from-worktree-mm5t8arl/download' --output '.skill-downloads/create-github-pr-from-worktree-mm5t8arl/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/create-github-pr-from-worktree-mm5t8arl/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/create-github-pr-from-worktree-mm5t8arl/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): mcp__worktree-maestro__create_pr

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

test -f '.skill-downloads/create-github-pr-from-worktree-mm5t8arl/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/create-github-pr-from-worktree-mm5t8arl/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/wt-pr' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/create-github-pr-from-worktree-mm5t8arl' '.claude/skills/wt-pr'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/create-github-pr-from-worktree-mm5t8arl'

openskills read 'create-github-pr-from-worktree-mm5t8arl'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/create-github-pr-from-worktree-mm5t8arl/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
