PR

Create a feature branch from current changes, commit, push, and open a pull request.

Usage

/pr

Process

  1. Check state: Run git diff, git diff --cached, git status -u to see all changes.
  2. Determine branch name: Analyze changes and generate a branch name (feat/xxx, fix/xxx, docs/xxx, refactor/xxx, chore/xxx). If already on a feature branch (not main), skip branch creation.
  3. Create branch: git checkout -b {branch} (from main).
  4. Stage & commit: Same rules as /commit — analyze changes, draft message, stage specific files, commit with Co-Authored-By.
  5. Push: git push -u origin {branch}
  6. Create PR: gh pr create with title and body.
    • PR title: same as commit first line (under 70 chars)
    • PR body: summary bullets + test plan

Commit Message Format

  • First line: type: short summary (under 72 chars)
    • Types: feat, fix, refactor, style, docs, chore
  • Blank line, then bullet-point details for non-trivial changes
  • End with Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
  • Write in English (per CLAUDE.md conventions)
  • Pass the message via HEREDOC for proper formatting

PR Body Format

## Summary
<1-3 bullet points>

## Test plan
<bulleted checklist>

Multiple commits on same branch

If already on a feature branch with an open PR:

  • Stage & commit only (no new branch, no new PR)
  • Push to update the existing PR

Safety

  • Never stage files that may contain secrets (.env, credentials, etc.)
  • Never use git add -A — always add specific files
  • Never force push
  • Always create PR to main, never push directly to main
