Create Pull Request

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Ready to commit and open a pull request from the current branch
• Opening a PR with a Conventional Commits message and ticket reference
• Running formatter, linter and tests before pushing

Example prompts

• “Create a PR for these changes and reference ticket VGV-123.”
• “Commit and push this branch, then open a pull request against develop.”
• “Open the PR with skip-checks since the build step already ran them.”

Requirements

• git with a configured remote
• The `gh` or `glab` CLI for opening the pull request
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code (or similar products with git access)
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(git push *), Bash(git add *), Bash(git commit *), Bash(gh *), Bash(glab *)

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Parse arguments
2. 2Validate (conditional)
3. 3Assess git state and determine base branch
4. 4Stage and commit
5. 5Push
6. 6Run CI checks (conditional)
7. 7Open PR

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19e0695. 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 push *)
  • Bash(git add *)
  • Bash(git commit *)
  • Bash(gh *)
  • Bash(glab *)

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • git

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  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.

• Compatibility

  Designed for Claude Code (or similar products with git access)

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Create Pull Request loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 582 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~51

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.3k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~2.8k

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

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:83

  - **Never stage** secret files: `.env`, `*.key`, `*.pem`, `*secret*`, `*credential*`, `*.p12`, `*.jks`.

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.

when_to_use

Use when user says "create a PR", "open a PR", "ship it", "submit a pull request", or "open a merge request", or when work on a branch is complete and ready…
