## What it does

The skill walks the agent through ten steps. It inspects the repo and any PR rules in `AGENTS.md` or `CONTRIBUTING.md`, computes the merge base and the exact `base...head` range, then reads the full diff and separates runtime code from generated files, lockfiles and snapshots. The change is classified as feature, fix, refactor, chore or docs, focused checks are run against the touched surfaces, and the commit history is reshaped into atomic Conventional Commits.

Every PR body gets `## Summary` and `## Verification` with the exact commands and their results. Everything else is optional and earns its place only when it helps a reviewer: a module-by-module change table, Mermaid diagrams for call order or state transitions, a risks table, before/after images. If the repo ships a PR template, its headings stay and the extra sections fill the gaps.

The skill bans words like "safe", "fixed" or "backward compatible" unless they point at evidence, and it asks the agent to mark what is verified, what is assumed and what is not. Screenshots never get committed; they are attached with `gh --attach`. You need `gh` with GitHub auth configured, or the create step fails.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add antfu/skills --skill antfu-create-pr -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/antfu-create-pr/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/antfu-create-pr/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add antfu/skills --skill antfu-create-pr -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/antfu-create-pr/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add antfu/skills --skill antfu-create-pr -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/antfu-create-pr/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install antfu/skills antfu-create-pr
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/antfu-create-pr/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add antfu/skills --skill antfu-create-pr -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/antfu/skills --path skills/antfu-create-pr
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/antfu-create-pr/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add antfu/skills --skill antfu-create-pr -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/antfu/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/antfu-create-pr/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- write a PR body a reviewer can follow without reading the diff
- bring the title and commits in line with Conventional Commits
- keep lockfiles and generated files out of the described change
- attach before/after screenshots for UI work
- record which checks ran and what they returned

## Example prompts
- Prepare a PR from the current branch following the repo rules
- Open a pull request with a Conventional Commits title and a body listing the checks
- Create the PR for this branch and attach before/after screenshots for the UI change

# Create Pull Request

Open a PR that a reviewer can understand from the body alone. Explain the changed behavior and why, not the list of changed files. Keep the body proportional to the change: a one-line fix gets a few sentences, a cross-module feature gets tables and diagrams.

## Workflow

1. Inspect the repo: `git status`, current branch, remotes, default branch, `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE*`, and `AGENTS.md` / `CONTRIBUTING.md` for PR rules.
2. Compute the merge base against the target branch and record the exact `base...head` range the PR publishes. If the branch is stacked on another unmerged branch, target that branch and describe only this PR's own changes.
3. Read the full diff. Separate runtime code from generated files, lockfiles, and snapshots. Trace changed code to its entry points, callers, and external boundaries so architecture claims are backed by file paths or symbols.
4. Classify the PR (feature, fix, refactor, chore, docs) and decide which optional body sections earn their place. See [pr-body](references/pr-body.md).
5. Run the checks that match the changed surfaces (focused tests, typecheck, lint). Record the exact commands and results.
6. If the diff changes user-visible UI, capture before/after evidence. See [visual-evidence](references/visual-evidence.md).
7. Review the commit history and reshape it into atomic Conventional Commits. See [Commits](#commits).
8. Write the body to a temporary file. Push the branch. Create the PR with `gh pr create --title ... --body-file ...` (add `--attach` for each screenshot). Use `--draft` when checks are still running or the work is not review-ready.
9. Open the created PR and verify title, base, head, rendered tables, diagrams, and images.
10. Address review comments: fix each confirmed issue, run focused checks, push, reply with evidence, and resolve the thread.

## Title

Use Conventional Commits, matching how the repo already writes commit messages:

```text
feat(scope): add retry to upload client
fix(scope): avoid double submit on enter
refactor: extract diff parsing from cli
chore(deps): update vite to v8
docs: clarify worktree setup
```

- Lowercase, imperative, no trailing period, under ~70 characters.
