FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically update a GitHub pull request title and description after pushing new commits?▼

You can automatically update a GitHub pull request by analyzing the current base..HEAD diff to regenerate the title and description. This ensures the PR accurately reflects post-commit changes, rebases, or base-branch updates while respecting existing PR templates and requiring user confirmation before overwriting.

What is the best way to sync an open PR with the final diff after a rebase or base-branch change?▼

Syncing an open PR with the final diff after a rebase involves using the final diff as the source of truth to regenerate the description. The skill detects the existing PR for your current branch and updates its content to accurately reflect the latest changes, ensuring alignment without losing manual template edits.

Does updating a PR description overwrite my existing GitHub PR template?▼

Updating a PR description does not blindly overwrite your GitHub PR template. The skill is template-aware, respecting existing PR templates when present, and prompts for explicit user confirmation before overwriting any manual edits to ensure safe execution.

Can I update a pull request title from the terminal without manually editing the GitHub UI?▼

You can update a pull request title from the terminal by running the pr-update skill after pushing new commits. It detects the open PR for the current branch, generates a concise title from the final diff, and applies the update after explaining the changes and receiving your confirmation.

When do I need to regenerate a pull request description from a diff?▼

You need to regenerate a pull request description from a diff when the existing PR no longer reflects the latest commits, such as after post-commit updates, rebases, or base-branch changes. Using the final diff as the source of truth ensures the PR content accurately matches the latest code state.
