What it does

Close Task Commit Push PR is an agent skill from devoxx/DevoxxGenieIDEAPlugin. Close the active backlog task (detected from branch name), commit all changes, push to remote, and open a pull request. Use when the user says "close task and ship it", "close task commit push pr", or invokes /close-task-commit-push-pr.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. It works with OpenAI, Git and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: DevoxxGenie is an agentic plugin for IntelliJ IDEA that uses local LLM's (Ollama, LMStudio, GPT4All, Jan and Llama.cpp) and Cloud based LLMs to help review, test, explain your… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says close task and ship it
  • Close task commit push pr
  • Invokes /close-task-commit-push-pr

Example prompts

  • “close task and ship it”
  • “close task commit push pr”
  • “/close-task-commit-push-pr”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(git add:*), Bash(git status:*), Bash(git diff:*), Bash(git log:*), Bash(git commit:*), Bash(git push:*), Bash(git branch:*), Bash(git checkout:*), Bash(gh pr create:*), mcp__backlog__task_edit, mcp__backlog__task_complete, mcp__backlog__task_view

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the task
  2. Close the backlog task
  3. Analyze changes and plan commits
  4. Commit
  5. Push
  6. Pull Request
  7. Update task with PR reference
  8. Amend commit with updated task file
  9. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dd1baf5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(git add:*)
    • Bash(git status:*)
    • Bash(git diff:*)
    • Bash(git log:*)
    • Bash(git commit:*)
    • Bash(git push:*)
    • Bash(git branch:*)
    • Bash(git checkout:*)
    • Bash(gh pr create:*)
    • mcp__backlog__task_edit

    …and 2 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • claude.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Close Task Commit Push PR loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 526 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:49
    names (never `git add -A`; never stage `.env` or credential files).

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Close Task, Commit, Push & PR

Context

  • Current git status: !git status
  • Current git diff (staged and unstaged changes): !git diff HEAD
  • Current branch: !git branch --show-current
  • Main branch: !git rev-parse --verify main 2>/dev/null && echo main || echo master
  • Recent commits: !git log --oneline -10

Your task

Close the active backlog task, commit all changes, push, and open a pull request.

Step 0 — Identify the task
  • Extract the task ID from the current branch name (e.g. feature/task-113-split-css-modules → task-113).
  • If no task ID is found in the branch name, ask the user which task to close.
Step 1 — Close the backlog task

Close the task before committing so the task file changes are included in the commit and PR.

  • Use mcp__backlog__task_view to read the task details (title, acceptance criteria).
  • Use mcp__backlog__task_edit to:
    • Set status to Done
    • Check off all acceptance criteria that were completed (review the diff to determine which ones)
    • Write a finalSummary that concisely describes what was implemented
  • Use mcp__backlog__task_complete to move the task to the completed folder.
Step 2 — Analyze changes and plan commits

Before committing, analyze git status and git diff HEAD to identify logically distinct groups of changes. Group by feature or concern — for example:

  • New files that form a self-contained module → one commit
  • Modifications to an existing file that depend on the new module → separate commit
  • Task/backlog file changes → include in the final commit (or a dedicated chore commit)

Print a short commit plan (list of planned commits with the files in each) so the grouping is visible.

Step 3 — Commit
  • Create one commit per logical group identified above. Stage only the files for that group using explicit file names (never git add -A; never stage .env or credential files).
  • Write a clean, descriptive commit message for each commit using conventional commits style.
  • End every commit message with: Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
  • Use a HEREDOC to pass the commit message for correct formatting.
  • Include the closed task file in the final commit.
Show full SKILL.md (198 more words)Show less
Step 4 — Push
  • If the current branch is main or master, create a new feature branch first (use a descriptive name based on the changes).
  • Push the branch to origin with -u to set upstream tracking.
Step 5 — Pull Request
  • Create a PR using gh pr create targeting the main branch.
  • Keep the PR title short (under 70 characters), using conventional commit style.
  • Use a HEREDOC for the PR body with this format:
## Summary
<1-3 bullet points describing the changes>

## Test plan
- [ ] <testing checklist items>

🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
Step 6 — Update task with PR reference
  • Now that you have the PR number, use mcp__backlog__task_edit to append the PR URL/number to the finalSummary.
Step 7 — Amend commit with updated task file
  • Stage the updated task file and amend the last commit to include the PR reference: git commit --amend --no-edit then git push --force-with-lease.
Step 8 — Report
  • Print the PR URL and confirm the task was closed.

Rules

  • Do all steps in as few messages as possible. Parallelize independent tool calls.
  • Do not read or explore code beyond what git provides in the context above.
  • Do not use interactive git flags (-i).
  • Never force-push or amend existing commits.
  • If a pre-commit hook fails, fix the issue and create a NEW commit (do not amend).
