SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you turn your local or already-pushed changes into a clear, reviewer-friendly GitHub pull request without missing key details or steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end PR setup: Collects the right repo and branch context, inspects diffs, and prepares commits (when needed) before opening a PR.
  • Reviewer-first PR writing: Produces a PR body template organized around ## Problem and ## Solution, with optional ## Test, and encourages evidence-backed claims.
  • Quality enhancements for collaboration: Guides adding GitHub inline review comments on the most important changed lines to clarify intent and tradeoffs for reviewers.
  • GitHub CLI-first workflow: Uses gh for creation, viewing, and review comments, falling back to web/app behavior only when required.

Quick Start

Ask Codex to create a draft PR for your current branch changes for the repository’s default base branch, and include any relevant test commands and output in an optional ## Test section.
