create-pr-description

To auto-generate a pull request description, this Skill analyzes the git diff main...HEAD to populate repository template sections accurately based on code changes. It locates the template, extracts relevant diff data, and fills out the required sections automatically.

Generating PR descriptions works directly with existing repository templates by locating and applying the .github/pull_request_template.md file. It ensures all generated content strictly follows the repository's established conventions and fills every template section.

You can automatically close issues because the PR description generator extracts issue numbers from branch names or commit messages. When an issue reference is found, it appends a Closes line to the generated description automatically.

Before generating, you need a repository containing a .github/pull_request_template.md file and a feature branch with uncommitted git diff changes against main. The generator uses these diffs and template structures to produce compliant descriptions.

The automated PR description will miss the issue closure line if the branch name or commit messages lack recognizable issue numbers. It only appends a Closes line when it successfully extracts issue references from those specific sources.
