# jackin-checkout-pr Moves the current repository to a pull request branch with gh pr checkout after checking for local changes.

Numbers and URLs go straight to `gh pr checkout`; a branch is resolved with `gh pr list --head --state all --json number -q '.[0].number'`. If no PR matches, it stops instead of falling back to raw `git checkout`. Before changing branches, it runs `git status --porcelain` and records the current branch. A dirty worktree stops the process and requires the operator to commit, stash, or discard the changes; the skill never stashes automatically. It checks the PR state, asks for confirmation on merged or closed requests, verifies the resulting branch, and reports `git switch ` as the way back. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add jackin-project/jackin-dev --skill jackin-checkout-pr -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/jackin-checkout-pr/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/jackin-checkout-pr/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add jackin-project/jackin-dev --skill jackin-checkout-pr -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/jackin-checkout-pr/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add jackin-project/jackin-dev --skill jackin-checkout-pr -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/jackin-checkout-pr/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install jackin-project/jackin-dev jackin-checkout-pr ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/jackin-checkout-pr/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add jackin-project/jackin-dev --skill jackin-checkout-pr -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/jackin-project/jackin-dev --path skills/jackin-checkout-pr ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/jackin-checkout-pr/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add jackin-project/jackin-dev --skill jackin-checkout-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/jackin-project/jackin-dev/tree/HEAD/skills/jackin-checkout-pr/SKILL.md ## When to use it - move a repository to a pull request branch - resolve a PR from its head branch - block checkout when local changes exist - check whether a PR is still open - show how to return to the previous branch ## Example prompts - Explicitly use `jackin-checkout-pr` to switch to pull request `123`. - Use `jackin-checkout-pr` to reach the pull request for branch `feature/login`. - Run `jackin-checkout-pr` with the pull request URL and check the worktree first. ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

Accepts a number, URL, or branch name. ## Process 1. **Resolve to a PR number.** Number or URL → pass to `gh pr checkout` directly. Branch name → `gh pr list --head --state all --json number -q '.[0].number'`; no match → STOP, do not fall back to raw `git checkout`. 2. **Guard the working tree.** `git status --porcelain` — if dirty, STOP and ask the operator to commit, stash, or discard first. Never auto-stash. Note `git branch --show-current` (the way back). 3. **Check the PR is open.** `gh pr view --json state,headRefName`. `MERGED` or `CLOSED` → warn (the branch may be stale) and confirm before proceeding. 4. **Switch.** `gh pr checkout `. Verify `git branch --show-current` matches `headRefName`. 5. **Report.** Switched from `` to `` (PR #N). Way back: `git switch `. ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 9b595a21c322ddf7 The third-party file has ended.
