PR Template Filler
Use this skill when the user wants a prefilled PR body from .github/pull_request_template.md based on the actual changes.
Workflow (short)
- •Identify the PR context (GitHub PR or local branch) and the base branch.
- •Collect change evidence (files, diffstat, commits, tests run).
- •Draft the PR template with concise bullets aligned to evidence.
- •Mark checks only when confirmed; otherwise leave unchecked and note gaps.
Step 1: Locate the template
Open .github/pull_request_template.md and mirror its sections and formatting.
Step 2: Collect change evidence
Prefer GitHub PR data when available; otherwise use local git.
Option A: GitHub PR (preferred for pushed changes)
If gh is available and a PR number is known, collect summary and files:
- •
gh pr view <PR> --json title,body,baseRefName,headRefName,files,commits - •
gh pr diff <PR> --stat
Option B: Local branch vs base
Determine base (default origin/main) and compare:
- •
git merge-base HEAD <base> - •
git log --oneline <base>..HEAD - •
git diff --stat <base>..HEAD - •
git diff --name-only <base>..HEAD
You can use scripts/collect_pr_context.sh to gather a quick bundle.
Step 3: Fill the template
Use evidence to produce 1–3 bullets per section:
- •What: concrete changes (features, fixes, refactors) mapped to files/areas.
- •Why: motivation, linked issues, user impact, or risk reduced.
- •How: approach, key design choices, tests run.
- •Checks: mark only what was actually run; if unknown, leave unchecked and add a short note under How or Checks.
Keep language neutral and review-ready; avoid speculation.
Step 4: Confirm
Ask the user to verify correctness and fill missing fields (tests, docs, issue links).
Output format
Return the filled template as a markdown block, preserving the original checklist.
If information is missing
State what is missing and ask for the specific data (PR number, base branch, tests run).
