# create-pr

A skill that walks the agent through opening a pull request and keeps the English and Chinese READMEs in sync. Useful when the skill catalog changes and the docs have to follow.

## What it does

The skill fires when you ask to create a PR, submit changes for review, or push and open a pull request. The agent inspects the branch first: `git status`, `git diff`, and the commit list, sorting changes into modified, new, and deleted files.

Documentation gets its own pass. If the skill catalog moved, the agent updates the table in `README.md` and `README.zh-CN.md`, including the Auto-Trigger column when `metadata.hooks` changed. Internal refactors and small fixes with no user impact are skipped. The commit follows the `commit-helper` format, then `git push` and `gh pr create`.

You need the `gh` CLI authenticated, or the PR step fails outright. The skill declares `Read`, `Write`, `Edit`, `Bash`, `Grep`, and `AskUserQuestion` — lock Bash down and the git steps stop working.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add zhaono1/agent-playbook --skill create-pr -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add zhaono1/agent-playbook --skill create-pr -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add zhaono1/agent-playbook --skill create-pr -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install zhaono1/agent-playbook create-pr
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add zhaono1/agent-playbook --skill create-pr -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/zhaono1/agent-playbook --path skills/create-pr
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add zhaono1/agent-playbook --skill 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/zhaono1/agent-playbook/tree/HEAD/skills/create-pr/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- turn branch changes into a pull request
- keep the English and Chinese READMEs in sync when the skill catalog changes
- update the Auto-Trigger column after hooks change
- write the commit message in one consistent format
- see which files actually landed in the branch

## Example prompts
- create a PR from my changes
- submit my changes for review
- I added a new skill — open a PR and update both READMEs

# Create PR

A skill for creating pull requests with bilingual documentation checks. This skill ensures that English and Chinese documentation stay in sync before code changes are submitted.

## When This Skill Activates

This skill activates when you:
- Ask to create a pull request or PR
- Say "submit my changes" or "push and create PR"
- Mention "make a PR" or "open a pull request"
- Want to submit code for review

## PR Creation Workflow

### Step 1: Analyze Changes

Examine all changes in the current branch:

```bash
git status
git diff
git log --oneline main..HEAD
```

Identify:
- **Modified files**: What was changed?
- **New files**: What was added?
- **Deleted files**: What was removed?
- **Impact area**: Which skills or features are affected?

### Step 2: Determine Documentation Updates

### Check for Skill Changes

First, detect if any skills were changed:

```bash
# Check if skills/ directory has changes
git diff --name-only main..HEAD | grep "^skills/"
```

### Decision Matrix

| Change Type | Documentation Action |
|-------------|---------------------|
| New skill added | Add to skills table in both EN and CN README |
| Skill description changed | Update description in skills table |
| Skill removed | Remove from skills table |
| Skill hooks changed | Update Auto-Trigger column in skills table |
| Internal skill logic only | Skip README update |
| Bug fix with no user impact | Skip README update |

### Auto-Trigger Changes Require Update

If a skill's `metadata.hooks` front matter was modified, the **Auto-Trigger** column in the Skills Catalog must be updated:

```bash
# Check if hooks were modified
git diff main..HEAD -- skills/*/SKILL.md | grep -E "^\+.*metadata:|^\+.*hooks:|^\+.*trigger:"
```

If hooks changed → Update README.md and README.zh-CN.md Auto-Trigger column.

### Step 3: Draft Commit Message

Use the `commit-helper` format:

```
<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body>

<footer>
```

Types:
- `feat`: New skill or feature
- `fix`: Bug fix or correction
- `docs`: Documentation only changes
- `refactor`: Code refactoring
- `chore`: Maintenance tasks

### Step 4: Create the Pull Request

Run the following sequence:

```bash
# 1. Stage only the intended files
git add <changed-files>
git commit -m "commit message"

# 2. Push to remote
git push -u origin <branch-name>

# 3: Create PR using gh CLI
gh pr create \
  --title "PR title" \
  --body "PR description"
```

### Step 5: Update Documentation (If Required)

Before committing or creating the PR, update both README files when the change
````
