Our review
Creates a pull request from the current branch using GitHub CLI with a structured format and pre-flight checks.
Strengths
- Automates PR creation with GitHub CLI and a standardized format.
- Includes pre-flight checks (commits, push) to prevent errors.
- Generates a concise title and structured body with summary and test plan.
Limitations
- Requires GitHub CLI to be installed and authenticated.
- Only creates PRs against the 'main' branch by default.
- Does not support adding reviewers, labels, or other advanced options.
Use this skill after committing changes on a branch when you want to open a pull request with a clean format.
Avoid using it if you need complex PR setup (reviewers, milestones) or if you are not using GitHub.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill runs standard git and gh commands for creating a pull request. It does not execute destructive actions, expose secrets, or use obfuscated payloads. Pre-flight checks ensure changes are committed and pushed, making it a safe automation.
