Open PR

Push the current branch, run tests, and create a new pull request on GitHub.

Prerequisites

git must be available
gh CLI must be installed and authenticated — verify with gh auth status
If gh is missing: "gh CLI is required. Install it from https://cli.github.com/."

Steps

1. Check branch state

git branch --show-current
git remote show origin | grep "HEAD branch"
git status --porcelain

If current branch is main, master, or the remote default branch — stop: "Cannot open a PR from the default branch. Switch to a feature branch first."
If git status --porcelain returns any output — stop: "Uncommitted changes detected. Commit or stash them before opening a PR."

2. Check for existing PR

gh pr list --head <branch-name> --state open --json number,url --jq '.[0] // empty'

If a PR is found — stop: "A PR already exists for this branch: <url>. Use update-pr to modify it."

3. Push the branch

git push -u origin <branch-name>

If push fails — stop and show the exact error.

4. Run tests

Detect the test setup from project files:

package.json with a test script → identify the test command and run it
pytest.ini, pyproject.toml, or setup.py → pytest
Makefile with a test target → make test
If none found → skip tests entirely; omit the Automated sub-section from the PR body

Run the detected command and capture the result (pass/fail, test count).

If tests fail — stop: "Tests failed. Fix the failures before opening a PR." Show the output.

5. Derive title and body

Run the following to gather branch data:

git log origin/<default-branch>..HEAD --oneline
git log origin/<default-branch>..HEAD --format="%s %b"
git diff origin/<default-branch>..HEAD --stat

Title — use conventional commits format:

type(scope?): summary

Infer type from commit messages. Common types: feat, fix, chore, docs, refactor, test. Infer scope from the files changed if it adds clarity. Keep the summary under 72 characters.

Body — follow the Output Format section below. Derive every field from the git data. Leave no unfilled placeholders.

6. Create the PR

gh pr create \
  --title "<title>" \
  --body "<body>" \
  --assignee @me

Only add --reviewer <username> if the user explicitly names a reviewer.

7. Report

Print the PR URL returned by gh pr create. Note any follow-up the user still needs to do manually.

Output Format

## Summary
[What changed and why — 2–3 sentences derived from commit messages and diff.]

## Changes
- [Specific action taken, not just a filename]
- [Specific action taken]

## Testing
**Automated**
- [x] [test command] passed ([N] tests)

**Manual**
- [ ] [UI or user-facing change to verify]

## Notes
[Risks, follow-ups, rollout notes, or reviewer context.]

Closes #[issue-number]

Rules:

## Notes — omit entirely if there is nothing useful to say
Closes #[issue-number] — include only if an issue number appears in the conversation. Omit otherwise; do not leave a placeholder
**Automated** sub-section — omit if no test suite was detected or run
**Manual** sub-section — omit if the diff contains no UI or user-facing changes
## Testing — omit entirely if both sub-sections would be empty
Never leave any placeholder text unfilled in the final output
