Automated summary

This skill pushes local commits to remote and creates a pull request with a structured summary, changes list, and test plan.

Strengths

  • Automates PR creation with a standardized format (summary, changes, test plan)
  • Checks for uncommitted changes and handles them gracefully
  • Detects existing PRs to avoid duplicates
  • Uses conventional commit types for clear PR titles

Limitations

  • Requires `gh` (GitHub CLI) to be installed and authenticated
  • Only works with GitHub repositories
  • The generated summary quality depends on commit message clarity
When to use it

Use this skill when you want to quickly push changes and create a well-structured pull request without manually writing the body.

When not to use it

Avoid using it if you prefer to craft the PR message manually or if you are using a repository hosted outside GitHub.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score90/100

The skill automates a standard PR workflow using git and GitHub CLI with no destructive or exfiltrating actions. It includes safety prompts (e.g., asking before committing) and restricts itself to safe operations.

PR Push

Instructions

  1. Gather Info: git status, git log origin/<branch>..HEAD --oneline, git remote -v
  2. Check Uncommitted: If exist, ask user whether to commit first
  3. Push: git push -u origin <current-branch>
  4. Check Existing PR: Run gh pr view --json url -q .url 2>/dev/null to check if a PR already exists for this branch
    • If PR exists: inform user and provide the PR URL, skip PR creation
    • If no PR exists: proceed to create one
  5. Analyze Diff: Compare branch vs base (main/master/develop)
  6. Create PR: Use gh pr create with structured body

Commands Reference

# Check commits to push
git log origin/<branch>..HEAD --oneline

# Compare with base branch
git log <base>..HEAD --oneline
git diff <base>...HEAD --stat
git diff <base>...HEAD

# Push with upstream
git push -u origin <branch>

# Check if PR already exists for current branch
gh pr view --json url -q .url 2>/dev/null

# Create PR with heredoc
gh pr create --title "<type>: <subject>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'

PR Message Format

## Summary
Brief description of what this PR accomplishes.

## Changes
- Bullet points of specific changes
- Reference actual files/functions modified
- Group related changes together

## Test Plan
How to verify the changes work correctly.

PR Title Convention

| Type | Use Case | |------|----------| | feat: | New feature | | fix: | Bug fix | | docs: | Documentation | | refactor: | Code restructuring | | test: | Test changes | | chore: | Build/config |

Guidelines

  • Always write PR messages in English
  • Be specific, reference actual changes from diff
  • Avoid verbosity - focus on what/why
  • No co-author credits or "Generated with..." tags

Edge Cases

| Situation | Action | |-----------|--------| | No commits to push | Inform user | | Push fails | Report error, suggest solutions | | Uncommitted changes | Ask user to commit first | | No base branch | Ask user which branch to compare | | PR already exists | Inform user and provide PR URL, skip creation |

Examples

Example 1: Feature PR

Title: feat(auth): add JWT token refresh mechanism

Body:

## Summary
Implement automatic JWT token refresh to prevent session expiration during active use.

## Changes
- Add `refreshToken()` method in `auth/token.go`
- Implement secure cookie storage for refresh tokens
- Add retry logic with exponential backoff
- Update auth middleware to trigger refresh

## Test Plan
1. Login and wait for token to near expiration
2. Verify automatic refresh occurs without logout
3. Check refresh token rotates correctly

Example 2: Bug Fix PR

Title: fix(api): handle empty response body gracefully

Body:

## Summary
Fix null pointer exception when API returns empty body instead of JSON.

## Changes
- Add nil check in `parseResponse()` before JSON unmarshal
- Return empty struct instead of error for 204 responses
- Add unit test for empty body case

## Test Plan
1. Send request that returns 204 No Content
2. Verify no panic, returns empty result

Example 3: Refactor PR

Title: refactor(streamer): consolidate test mocks

Body:

## Summary
Extract common mock implementations to reduce duplication across test files.

## Changes
- Move `mockGRPCStreamClient` to `mock_query.go`
- Remove 4 duplicate mock definitions
- Update all test files to use shared mock

## Test Plan
Run `make test` - all tests should pass unchanged.

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/push-pr-with-structured-summary-mmio71c8/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/push-pr-with-structured-summary-mmio71c8' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/push-pr-with-structured-summary-mmio71c8/download' --output '.skill-downloads/push-pr-with-structured-summary-mmio71c8/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/push-pr-with-structured-summary-mmio71c8/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/push-pr-with-structured-summary-mmio71c8/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.

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.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/push-pr-with-structured-summary-mmio71c8/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/push-pr-with-structured-summary-mmio71c8/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/pr-push' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/push-pr-with-structured-summary-mmio71c8' '.claude/skills/pr-push'

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/push-pr-with-structured-summary-mmio71c8'

openskills read 'push-pr-with-structured-summary-mmio71c8'

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/push-pr-with-structured-summary-mmio71c8/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.
