Create PR from uncommitted changes

name: pr description: Create a feature branch, commit changes, push, and open a PR against iopsystems/rezolus

Create a PR from the current uncommitted changes. Handles branching, committing, pushing, and opening the PR against the upstream repo.

Arguments

The skill accepts an optional branch name argument:

• If provided, use it as the branch name (e.g., /pr fix-socket-perms)
• If not provided, generate a descriptive kebab-case branch name from the changes

Steps

1. Verify prerequisites:

   • Working directory must have uncommitted changes (staged or unstaged)
   • Must not already be on a feature branch with unpushed commits for a different change

   git status
   git diff
   git diff --staged
   

   If there are no changes, stop and tell the user.

2. Analyze the changes:

   • Read the diff to understand what changed
   • Check recent commit messages for style conventions:

     git log --oneline -10
     

3. Create feature branch:

   • If currently on main, create a new branch:

     git checkout -b <branch-name>
     

   • If already on a feature branch, use the current branch

4. Sync docs version label (idempotent — runs every PR):

   ./scripts/sync-docs-version.sh
   

   Updates site/docs/*.html's sidebar version label to the latest stable release tag. If it modifies any file, include the change in the same commit. If nothing changes, no-op.

5. Stage and commit:

   • Stage the relevant changed files by name (avoid git add -A)
   • Write a commit message following the repo's conventional commit style (type(scope): description)
   • Common types: feat, fix, refactor, chore, docs, test
   • Include Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> trailer
   • Use a HEREDOC for the commit message

6. Push to origin:

   git push -u origin <branch-name>
   

7. Open PR against upstream:

   • The upstream repo is iopsystems/rezolus
   • The fork remote is origin (determine the owner from git remote -v)
   • Use gh pr create with --repo iopsystems/rezolus and --head <fork-owner>:<branch-name>

   gh pr create \
     --repo iopsystems/rezolus \
     --head <fork-owner>:<branch-name> \
     --draft \
     --title "<conventional commit style title>" \
     --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
   ## Summary
   <1-3 bullet points describing the changes>
   
   ## Test plan
   <bulleted checklist of testing done or needed>

8. Report the PR URL to the user.

Version bumps

Non-release PRs must never bump the major, minor, or patch version. Instead, bump only the pre-release revision number in Cargo.toml:

• Format: <major>.<minor>.<patch>-alpha.<revision>
• Example: 5.8.3-alpha.0 → 5.8.3-alpha.1 → 5.8.3-alpha.2
• Increment the revision (-alpha.N) by 1 from the current main branch version
• Check the current main branch version before committing:

  git show main:Cargo.toml | grep '^version'
  

Notes

• Keep PR titles under 70 characters
• PR title should follow the same conventional commit format as the commit message
• If cargo clippy, cargo test, or cargo fmt --check haven't been run yet during this session, run them before committing
• Never force push or amend existing commits
• The fork owner can be determined from the origin remote URL (e.g., git@github.com:brayniac/rezolus → brayniac)
• PRs are created as drafts by default. Mark ready via GitHub UI or gh pr ready
