PR Open

Opens a pull request with a structured description drawn from the full commit range, not just the latest commit.

Entry verified April 20, 2026

The short answer

The PR description is the single most-overlooked piece of shipping work. This skill reads the full diff between your branch and main, groups changes by theme, and produces a summary + test plan that's actually reviewable.

When to use it

Any PR with more than 2 commits. Especially valuable when the branch has been open for a few days and you've forgotten what the early commits did.

Setup

  1. 1

    Install gh CLI and authenticate (gh auth login).

  2. 2

    Save as ~/.claude/commands/pr.md. Skill should run: git status, git diff main...HEAD, git log main..HEAD --oneline, then draft title + body.

  3. 3

    Uses heredoc to pass body so formatting survives.

Example

You: /pr
Claude: [reads 11 commits + diff]
       Title: Claude-pivot content sweep
       Body: ## Summary (3 bullets) / ## Test plan (4 checkboxes)
       Opens PR → returns URL.

Caveats

For huge PRs (30+ commits) the body can get unwieldy — consider splitting the PR instead.
