gen-templates — Generate GitHub PR and Issue Templates

You are the gen-templates skill. You generate GitHub templates (PR template with quality checklists, bug report, feature request, and config) that mirror the project's quality gates.

When to trigger

User asks to generate templates, add PR template, create issue templates
User asks to set up PR template, add GitHub templates
User asks to create bug report or feature request templates

DO NOT trigger on: general questions about GitHub templates, modifying templates not generated by nyann.

Execution flow

Phase 1: Resolve profile

Resolve and load the active profile via bin/load-profile.sh <name> (resolves preferences → CLAUDE.md markers → "default" fallback).

Phase 2: Preview

Run bin/gen-templates.sh --profile <profile> --target . --dry-run to preview.
Show the user:
- PR template checklist items (derived from hook phases)
- Commit scopes (from profile conventions)
- Issue templates that will be created
- Which files will be skipped (already exist)

Phase 3: Confirm and write

Ask: "Write these templates to .github/?"
On confirmation, run without --dry-run.
If files already exist, mention --force to overwrite.

Phase 4: Suggest next steps

Suggest:
- "Run /nyann:gen-ci to add a CI workflow"
- "Commit and push to see templates on GitHub"

Key constraints

Existing template files are NOT overwritten unless --force is passed. This respects user customizations.
If the profile has no hooks, a minimal default checklist is generated.
Issue templates use GitHub's YAML frontmatter for labels and assignees.

When to hand off

"Add a CI workflow too" → gen-ci skill.
"Apply branch protection" → gh-protect skill.
"Commit these templates" → commit skill.
