PR Preparation Skill

Systematic PR preparation that validates tests and generates high-quality PR bodies.

Overview

Prepares contributions by analyzing the target repo's conventions, git history, test coverage, and generating properly-formatted PR bodies.

When to Use:

• Preparing a PR for an external repository
• Contributing bug fixes or features

When NOT to Use:

• Internal commits (use normal git workflow)
• PRs to your own repositories

Workflow

-1. Prior Work Check     -> BLOCKING: Final check for competing PRs
0.  Isolation Check      -> BLOCK if PR mixes unrelated changes
1.  Context Discovery    -> Understand target repo conventions
2.  Git Archaeology      -> Analyze commit patterns, PR history
3.  Pre-Flight Checks    -> Run tests, linting, build
4.  Change Analysis      -> Summarize what changed and why
4.5 Commit Split Advisor -> Suggest logical commit groups (manual)
5.  PR Body Generation   -> Create structured PR description
6.  USER REVIEW GATE     -> STOP. User must approve before submission.
7.  Submission           -> Only after explicit user approval

Phase 0: Isolation Check (BLOCKING)

CRITICAL: Run this FIRST. Do not proceed if PR mixes unrelated changes.

Commit Type Analysis

# Extract commit type prefixes from branch
git log --oneline main..HEAD | sed 's/^[^ ]* //' | grep -oE '^[a-z]+(\([^)]+\))?:' | sort -u

Rule: If more than one commit type prefix exists, the PR is mixing concerns.

File Theme Analysis

# List all files changed vs main
git diff --name-only main..HEAD

# Group by directory
git diff --name-only main..HEAD | cut -d'/' -f1-2 | sort -u

Isolation Checklist

DO NOT PROCEED IF ISOLATION CHECK FAILS.

CRITICAL: User Review Gate

NEVER submit a PR without explicit user approval.

After generating the PR body (Phase 5), ALWAYS:

1. Write the PR body to a file for review
2. Show the user what will be submitted
3. STOP and ask: "Ready to submit? Review the PR body above."
4. Wait for explicit approval before running gh pr create

# Write PR body to file
cat > /tmp/pr-body.md << 'EOF'
<generated PR body>
EOF

# Show user
cat /tmp/pr-body.md

# ASK - do not proceed without answer
echo "Review complete. Submit this PR? [y/N]"

Phase 3: Pre-Flight Checks

# Go projects
go build ./...
go vet ./...
go test ./... -v -count=1

# Node projects
npm run build
npm test

# Python projects
pytest -v

Pre-Flight Checklist

• Code compiles without errors
• All tests pass
• No new linting warnings
• No secrets or credentials in code

Phase 4.5: Commit Split Analysis (Suggestion-Only)

Analyze the branch diff and suggest logical commit groupings.

# Review the scope of changes
git diff --stat main..HEAD

Output a numbered list of suggested commits with file groups:

Commit 1: [description] -- files: path/a.go, path/a_test.go
Commit 2: [description] -- files: path/b.go, path/c.go

Ordering: Infrastructure/migrations > Models/services > Controllers/views > Tests > VERSION/CHANGELOG. Each commit must be independently valid (no broken imports). If diff is < 50 lines across < 4 files, recommend a single commit.

See references/commit-split-advisor.md for full rules.

These are suggestions only. User reads and implements manually.

Phase 5: PR Body Generation

Standard Format

## Summary

Brief description of WHAT changed and WHY. 1-3 sentences.
Start with action verb (Add, Fix, Update, Refactor).

## Changes

Technical details of what was modified.

## Test plan

- [x] `go build ./...` passes
- [x] `go test ./...` passes
- [x] Manual: <specific scenario tested>

Fixes #NNN

Key conventions:

• Test plan items are checked [x] (you ran them before PR)
• Fixes #NNN goes at the end

Phase 7: Submission (After Approval Only)

# Create PR with reviewed body
gh pr create --title "type(scope): brief description" \
  --body "$(cat /tmp/pr-body.md)" \
  --base main

Remember: This command should ONLY run after user explicitly approves.

Anti-Patterns

Examples

Prepare External PR Body

User says: "Prepare this branch for PR submission."

What happens:

1. Run isolation and pre-flight validation.
2. Build structured PR body with summary and test plan.
3. Pause for mandatory user review before submit.

Evidence-First PR Packaging

User says: "Generate a high-quality PR description with clear verification steps."

What happens:

1. Gather git archaeology and test evidence.
2. Synthesize concise rationale and change list.
3. Produce submit-ready body pending approval.
