SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines handing off implementation work from an issue to a pull request while preserving the local implementation branch, ensuring high-quality PR metadata, and keeping explicit linkage to the source issue.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Build PR title and body from the current discussion and issue context using shared PR metadata policy prompts.
  • Inspect open PRs for the same branch and decide whether to reuse, amend, or create a new PR while enforcing strict-copy validation.
  • Enforce a required PR body template with Summary, Validation, Risks, file path references, and explicit issue linkage, then run the gh-csi handoff workflow to publish or update the PR.
  • Use Case: When a developer or agent is ready to "make a PR", run the skill to draft a validated PR, link it back to the source issue, and keep working on the same branch.

Quick Start

Tell the agent to make a PR while on the implementation branch so it drafts a validated title and body, checks for existing PRs, and runs the handoff workflow.
