## What it does

The skill takes a Markdown spec, a GitHub issue or a decided task with acceptance checks and ships each one as a single pull request. It treats the spec as the ticket and does not invent a second definition of the work. When a consequential decision is missing, it hands back to `/spec` or reports what is needed instead of guessing.

The delivery loop is explicit. It reads repository instructions, architecture and tests, sets up an isolated branch and worktree, writes the code plus tests for changed behavior, then proves acceptance with `/test`. A Conventional Commit, a push and a PR built from the repository template follow. Review comes from a fresh subagent that did not touch the implementation. Valid findings get fixed, the affected checks and a new review run again, and the cycle repeats until CI and automated review are clean.

Ready PRs stay open for a human by default. Merging requires explicit `/factory` or `/codex-issue-coordinator` authority, or a direct request from the user. Automatic skill selection grants nothing, so a pending approval blocks the merge without counting as a failed implementation.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add owainlewis/blueprint --skill task-to-pr -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add owainlewis/blueprint --skill task-to-pr -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add owainlewis/blueprint --skill task-to-pr -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install owainlewis/blueprint task-to-pr
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add owainlewis/blueprint --skill task-to-pr -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/owainlewis/blueprint --path skills/task-to-pr
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add owainlewis/blueprint --skill task-to-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/owainlewis/blueprint/tree/HEAD/skills/task-to-pr/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- turn an accepted spec into one focused pull request
- drive the CI and review repair loop to a green state
- get an independent review from a subagent that wrote none of the code
- link the PR back to the tracker and update delivery status
- stack dependent tasks as branches in dependency order

## Example prompts
- Take the spec in `specs/billing-export.md` and deliver it as a PR
- Split this task with `/plan` and carry each piece to green CI
- Address the review findings on this PR and wait for a fresh `/review`

# Task to PR

Deliver each task as one focused pull request with proof. The spec is the ticket;
accept a Markdown spec, GitHub issue, or decided task with acceptance checks.
Do not create a second work definition.

Read required skills directly from their `SKILL.md` files as instructions for this workflow. Do not invoke them through a skill command that the client blocks.

## Prepare

1. Read the source, repository instructions, relevant requirements and architecture, code, and tests. Reuse an existing branch, worktree, and pull request when continuing work.
2. Confirm the outcome, scope, decisions, and checks are sufficient. If a consequential choice is missing, return to `/spec` or report the needed decision before implementing. Do not write specs for small, decided work.
3. Split larger specs with `/plan` when useful. Each task delivers one working result. Identify dependencies and start independent work together when useful.

## Deliver and repair

1. Create or reuse an isolated branch and worktree. Start independent work from the latest remote default branch. Follow repository naming and worktree rules.
2. Implement the task and meaningful tests for changed behavior and affected failures. Update requirements, architecture, and the spec when the change affects them. Keep intended architecture and implementation status accurate.
3. Use `/test` to prove acceptance and affected rules. Fix failures before committing.
4. Create a Conventional Commit, push, and open or update the pull request. Follow the repository PR template. Lead with the problem and result; include proof and the source link. Mark it ready for review and move a tracker ticket to Review when supported.
5. Use `/review` with a fresh subagent that did not implement the change. Wait for configured CI and automated review on the current commit.
6. Fix valid findings and failures caused by the change. Reply to review findings with the fix or evidence for making no change. Resolve a thread only when fully addressed.
7. After changing the implementation, repeat affected `/test` checks and fresh `/review`, commit, push, and wait for CI and automated review again. Update PR proof. Continue until all available checks pass and no actionable finding remains.
```
