PR Submission Skill
This skill automatically triggers the /submit-pr command to handle the complete pull request lifecycle autonomously.
When to use this skill
Use this skill when the user:
- Says "create a PR" or "submit a PR"
- Says "open a pull request" or "make a pull request"
- Says "merge this" or "merge my changes"
- Says "ready for review" or "get this reviewed"
- Mentions wanting to push changes upstream
- Asks about submitting code for review
- Has completed work and wants to submit it
What this skill does
When activated, this skill invokes the /submit-pr command, which:
- Automatically creates a feature branch (if on main/master)
- Commits any uncommitted changes with smart commit messages
- Ensures documentation compliance by discovering and following repository standards
- Pushes changes to remote
- Creates the pull request with proper title and description
- Enables GitHub auto-merge immediately
- Continuously monitors CI/CD checks and review status (every 30 seconds)
- Autonomously fixes issues if CI fails or changes are requested (up to 3 attempts)
- Waits for GitHub to auto-merge when approved and checks pass
- Cleans up local branches automatically
Instructions
When the user requests creating or submitting a PR:
Trigger the command immediately:
/git:submit-pr
Do NOT ask for confirmation - the command is fully autonomous and handles everything
Inform the user that the process has started:
Starting fully autonomous PR submission workflow...
This will handle everything from commit to merge automatically.
Let the command run - it will:
- Show progress updates automatically
- Handle any issues that arise
- Merge when ready
- Report completion
Examples
User: "Create a PR for these changes"
Action: Immediately run /git:submit-pr
User: "Let's merge this"
Action: Immediately run /git:submit-pr
User: "Submit this for review"
Action: Immediately run /git:submit-pr
User: "I'm done, can you open a pull request?"
Action: Immediately run /git:submit-pr
User: "Ready to push this upstream"
Action: Immediately run /git:submit-pr
Important notes
- Fully autonomous: No user interaction needed once triggered
- Zero confirmations: The command handles everything automatically
- Handles failures: Automatically fixes CI failures and addresses review feedback
- Complete lifecycle: From uncommitted changes to merged PR
- Project directory aware: Uses PROJECT_DIR environment variable if set
What NOT to do
- ❌ Don't ask "Would you like me to create a PR?"
- ❌ Don't ask for confirmation before running the command
- ❌ Don't try to manually do the git operations yourself
- ❌ Don't suggest running git commands separately
✅ Just trigger /git:submit-pr immediately
Fallback
If the /git:submit-pr command fails or is not available:
- Inform the user about the error
- Guide them to check that the git plugin is properly installed
- Provide the manual steps only if the command is unavailable
