## What it does

The skill walks through the usual PR steps: branch, commit, body, create, check the render. It commits inline, so no separate commit skill is involved. Repo rules live in `PULL_REQUESTS.md`, `BRANCHING.md`, `COMMITS.md` and the agent rules under `.github/`; they load on their own, and the skill only puts them in order.

\`cargo xtask pr body --base origin/main > /tmp/pr-body.md` prints the skeleton. A classified digest of the diff (rust, docs, capsule, schema plus the file list) goes to stderr; the template from `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` lands in the file with its verify-locally blocks already chosen. Checkout and isolation env are always in. Rust tests appear for a Rust change, docs checks and walk for `docs/**`, the jackin-capsule smoke for `crates/jackin-capsule/` (pass `--capsule` before `console` or `load`), and a migration smoke when a versioned schema is touched. The agent writes the prose sections, then runs `gh pr create --body-file`.

Committing straight to `main` is off the table. On that branch the skill makes a `fix/`, `chore/`, `docs/` or `refactor/` branch and asks for confirmation unless you pass `--auto-branch` or `--branch`. `--title` sets both the commit and PR title; without it the name is derived from the diff in Conventional Commits style. Commits carry a DCO sign-off via `git commit -s`. You need `cargo xtask` inside the jackin❯ repo and `gh` on the machine.

## When to use it
- open a PR for a one-line bugfix that has no roadmap item
- build the PR body with the right verify-locally blocks from the diff
- commit the change to a branch without touching `main`
- name the commit and PR title in Conventional Commits and sign it with DCO
- confirm the prose added to the PR body renders without stray escaping

## Example prompts
- Open a PR for this fix following `COMMITS.md`, pick the branch name yourself
- Create the PR with the title `fix: handle empty capsule manifest`
- Open a PR for the dependency bump in `Cargo.toml`

# jackin-create-pr

Open a PR for a **small fix** in the jackin❯ repo — typo, dependency bump, one-line bugfix, doc tweak — that needs no roadmap item. Also the shared PR-mechanics path other skills reuse. Commits inline; no separate commit skill.

jackin❯ rule files auto-load — `PULL_REQUESTS.md`, `.github/` agent rules, `BRANCHING.md`, `COMMITS.md`. This skill sequences them, never restates them. Read them for full rules.

## When to use

- Operator runs `jackin-create-pr`.
- Small, self-contained change (no design, no roadmap item).

## When NOT to use

- Feature/idea worth a roadmap item → `jackin-propose`.
- Implementing a finalized roadmap item → `/goal Implement <slug>.md`.

## Arguments

- `--branch <name>` — explicit branch name.
- `--auto-branch` — pick the branch name yourself, no confirmation.
- `--title <msg>` — commit + PR title (else derive from the diff, Conventional Commits).

## Process

1. **Branch.** Never commit to `main`. If on `main`, create a `fix/` / `chore/` / `docs/` / `refactor/`-prefixed branch named from the change. Suggest and confirm unless `--auto-branch` or `--branch` given.
2. **Commit.** Uncommitted changes → commit inline per `COMMITS.md`: Conventional Commits subject, DCO sign-off (`git commit -s`). Already committed → skip. Then `git push`.
