Can I open a draft pull request from a local git branch?▼

How do I generate a review-ready PR title and description from my git history?▼

The Skill generates a review-ready PR title and description by inspecting your local commit range and working tree to determine scope, then applying consistent subject and body messaging rules to improve reviewer clarity.

Do I need the GitHub CLI installed to open a pull request from my local repository?▼

You need GitHub access via the gh CLI or the GitHub API to create pull requests from a local repository. The Skill also requires a checked-out local branch and user approval before finalizing the PR creation.

What is the best way to ensure my pull request description follows commit messaging conventions?▼

The best way to ensure your PR description follows commit messaging conventions is to validate your local commits against draft-commit-message conventions before creation. The Skill performs this validation automatically during the PR drafting process.

Why does my pull request creation fail when my local working tree has uncommitted changes?▼

Pull request creation relies on a clean local git state and the current commit range to accurately determine the PR scope. If your working tree has uncommitted changes, the Skill cannot accurately determine the scope for the PR title and body.
