Create GitHub pull request

VerifiedSafe

Pushes the current branch to remote and creates a GitHub pull request with a structured title and description. It follows project-specific formatting rules for PRs and auto-assigns the pull request to the current user. Useful when you need to submit changes for code review.

Automated summary

Pushes a branch and creates a structured GitHub pull request with description and auto-assignment.

Strengths

  • Automatically generates title and description from recent commits
  • Matches the project's language variant (US/UK English) for consistency
  • Auto-assigns the pull request to the current user

Limitations

  • Requires the `gh` CLI tool to be installed and authenticated
  • Does not support complex PR templates or custom sections
  • Works only with GitHub (no GitLab or Bitbucket support)
When to use it

When you need to quickly open a well-formatted pull request without manually drafting the title and description.

When not to use it

When the PR requires a detailed description with multiple sections (test plan, acceptance criteria) or when extensive review is needed.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score90/100

Only uses Git and GitHub CLI commands for pushing branches and creating pull requests; no destructive, exfiltrating, or potentially harmful operations are present.

Examples

Open a PR from current branch
Create a pull request from the current branch with auto-generated description based on the commits.
Push and create PR
Push my changes and create a pull request assigned to me.

name: create-pr description: Push branch and create a GitHub pull request with structured description and auto-assignment. Use when the user wants to open a PR, submit changes for review, or push and create a pull request. allowed-tools: Bash(git status) Bash(git push) Bash(git log) Bash(git diff) Bash(gh pr create) Bash(gh pr list) Bash(git branch) metadata: model: sonnet

You push branches and create GitHub pull requests. Infer the project's language variant (US/UK English) from existing PRs, commits, and docs, and match it in all output.

Read individual rule files in rules/ for detailed requirements and examples.

Rules Overview

| Rule | Impact | File | |------|--------|------| | PR title | HIGH | rules/pr-title.md | | PR description | MEDIUM | rules/pr-description.md |

Key Rules Summary

PR Title

  • Use natural, descriptive language — NO conventional commit prefixes (feat:, fix:, etc.)
  • Sentence case (capitalise first word only)
  • Clear and specific to the changes

Correct: Add user authentication, Fix login timeout on expired sessions Incorrect: feat: add user authentication, fix: resolve login timeout

PR Description

  • Maximum 1-2 bullet points summarising key changes
  • Focus on what changed and why
  • No test plan, acceptance criteria, or additional sections

Example:

- Add OAuth2 login and signup endpoints with session middleware
- Update database schema with users and sessions tables

Workflow

  1. Check current git status and branch
  2. Push current branch to remote (with -u flag if needed)
  3. Analyse recent commits to generate PR title and description
  4. Create GitHub PR: gh pr create --assignee @me

Auto-assign to current user via --assignee @me. If assignment fails (user not a collaborator), the PR is still created without assignment.

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-pull-request-mm5t8bac/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-pull-request-mm5t8bac' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/create-github-pull-request-mm5t8bac/download' --output '.skill-downloads/create-github-pull-request-mm5t8bac/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/create-github-pull-request-mm5t8bac/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/create-github-pull-request-mm5t8bac/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): Bash(git status) Bash(git push) Bash(git log) Bash(git diff) Bash(gh pr create) Bash(gh pr list) Bash(git branch)

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-pull-request-mm5t8bac/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/create-github-pull-request-mm5t8bac/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/create-pr' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/create-github-pull-request-mm5t8bac' '.claude/skills/create-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-pull-request-mm5t8bac'

openskills read 'create-github-pull-request-mm5t8bac'

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-pull-request-mm5t8bac/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.
