Create PR
A skill for creating pull requests with automatic bilingual documentation updates. This skill ensures that both English and Chinese documentation stay in sync when 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:
git status
git diff
git log --oneline main..HEADIdentify:
- 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:
# 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:
# 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 featurefix: Bug fix or correctiondocs: Documentation only changesrefactor: Code refactoringchore: Maintenance tasks
Step 4: Create the Pull Request
Run the following sequence:
# 1. Stage and commit changes
git add .
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)
After creating the PR, update both README files:
README.md (English):
- Add new skills to appropriate category table
- Update project structure if needed
- Keep language switch link at top
README.zh-CN.md (Chinese):
- Mirror all English changes
- Translate skill descriptions
- Maintain same structure and formatting
Step 6: Update Changelog (Optional)
For significant changes, add to CHANGELOG.md:
## [Version] - YYYY-MM-DD
### Added
- New skill: skill-name
### Fixed
- Fixed issue in skill-name
### Changed
- Updated skill-name with new featuresDocumentation Update Guidelines
Skills Catalog Update Template
When adding or modifying skills, use this format for the Skills Catalog:
English (README.md):
### Category Name
| Skill | Description | Auto-Trigger |
|-------|-------------|--------------|
| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | Brief description | Manual / Auto / Background / (keyword: "...") |Chinese (README.zh-CN.md):
### 类别名称
| 技能 | 描述 | 自动触发 |
|------|------|----------|
| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | 简短描述 | 手动 / 自动 / 后台 / (关键词："...") |Auto-Trigger Column Values
| Value | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
Manual | User must invoke | Most development skills |
Auto | Triggers automatically after any skill | session-logger |
Background | Runs non-blocking after related skill | self-improving-agent |
After skill updates | Only triggers when skills are modified | create-pr |
(keyword: "...") | Activates on specific keyword | prd-planner (keyword: "PRD") |
When to Update README
Always update when:
- Adding a new skill
- Removing a skill
- Changing skill names or descriptions
- Restructuring the skills directory
Consider updating when:
- Adding significant features to existing skills
- Changing installation instructions
- Modifying project structure
Skip updating when:
- Internal code refactoring with no user impact
- Minor typo fixes
- Test file changes
Bilingual Update Format
When adding a new skill to the skills table:
English (README.md):
| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | Brief skill description |Chinese (README.zh-CN.md):
| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | 技能简短描述 |Language Switch Link
Both README files must have the language switch at the top:
README.md:
English | [简体中文](./README.zh-CN.md)README.zh-CN.md:
[English](./README.md) | 简体中文PR Description Template
When creating a PR, use this template:

Quick Reference
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
git status | Check current state |
git diff | See unstaged changes |
git log main..HEAD | See branch commits |
git add. | Stage all changes |
git commit -m "msg" | Commit with message |

Tips
- Commit first, PR later: Always commit changes before creating PR
- Small PRs: Keep PRs focused on a single change
- Clear titles: Use Conventional Commits in PR titles
- Bilingual sync: Always update both README files together
- Test skills: Verify skills work before submitting PR
