SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you push your current branch and get a pull request opened quickly, while preventing you from pushing when your branch is stale compared to the intended base branch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Staleness gate: Detects the base branch (argument, existing PR base, or repo default) and stops if your branch is behind it.
  • Auto push + PR creation: Pushes to the remote if needed, then creates a PR (or surfaces the existing PR) using GitHub CLI.
  • Light diff review and safe merging: Runs a brief safety/quality scan of the PR diff and merges with squash only when no issues are found.

Quick Start

Use push-pr-light on your current branch to open or update a PR against the default base branch: run /push-pr-light.

How does auto title filling work for lightweight GitHub pull requests?▼

Auto title filling for lightweight GitHub pull requests works by applying a commit-range-based heuristic that generates the PR title and description from your branch history.

What happens if I try to push a branch that is behind the default base branch?▼

If you try to push a branch that is behind the default base branch, the staleness gate detects the base branch and stops the push to prevent merging outdated code.
