Create PR Skill | Agent Skills

Create PR

A skill for creating pull requests with automatic bilingual documentation updates. This skill ensures that both English and Chinese documentation stay in sync when code changes are submitted.

When This Skill Activates

This skill activates when you:

Ask to create a pull request or PR
Say "submit my changes" or "push and create PR"
Mention "make a PR" or "open a pull request"
Want to submit code for review

PR Creation Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Changes

Examine all changes in the current branch:

git status
git diff
git log --oneline main..HEAD

Identify:

Modified files: What was changed?
New files: What was added?
Deleted files: What was removed?
Impact area: Which skills or features are affected?

Step 2: Determine Documentation Updates

Check for Skill Changes

First, detect if any skills were changed:

# Check if skills/ directory has changes
git diff --name-only main..HEAD | grep "^skills/"

Decision Matrix

| Change Type | Documentation Action | |-------------|---------------------| | New skill added | Add to skills table in both EN and CN README | | Skill description changed | Update description in skills table | | Skill removed | Remove from skills table | | Skill hooks changed | Update Auto-Trigger column in skills table | | Internal skill logic only | Skip README update | | Bug fix with no user impact | Skip README update |

Auto-Trigger Changes Require Update

If a skill's metadata.hooks front matter was modified, the Auto-Trigger column in the Skills Catalog must be updated:

# Check if hooks were modified
git diff main..HEAD -- skills/*/SKILL.md | grep -E "^\+.*metadata:|^\+.*hooks:|^\+.*trigger:"

If hooks changed → Update README.md and README.zh-CN.md Auto-Trigger column.

Step 3: Draft Commit Message

Use the commit-helper format:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body>

<footer>

Types:

feat: New skill or feature
fix: Bug fix or correction
docs: Documentation only changes
refactor: Code refactoring
chore: Maintenance tasks

Step 4: Create the Pull Request

Run the following sequence:

# 1. Stage and commit changes
git add .
git commit -m "commit message"

# 2. Push to remote
git push -u origin <branch-name>

# 3: Create PR using gh CLI
gh pr create \
  --title "PR title" \
  --body "PR description"

Step 5: Update Documentation (If Required)

After creating the PR, update both README files:

README.md (English):

Add new skills to appropriate category table
Update project structure if needed
Keep language switch link at top

README.zh-CN.md (Chinese):

Mirror all English changes
Translate skill descriptions
Maintain same structure and formatting

Step 6: Update Changelog (Optional)

For significant changes, add to CHANGELOG.md:

## [Version] - YYYY-MM-DD

### Added
- New skill: skill-name

### Fixed
- Fixed issue in skill-name

### Changed
- Updated skill-name with new features

Documentation Update Guidelines

Skills Catalog Update Template

When adding or modifying skills, use this format for the Skills Catalog:

English (README.md):

### Category Name

| Skill | Description | Auto-Trigger |
|-------|-------------|--------------|
| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | Brief description | Manual / Auto / Background / (keyword: "...") |

Chinese (README.zh-CN.md):

### 类别名称

| 技能 | 描述 | 自动触发 |
|------|------|----------|
| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | 简短描述 | 手动 / 自动 / 后台 / (关键词："...") |

Auto-Trigger Column Values

| Value | Meaning | Example | |-------|---------|---------| | Manual | User must invoke | Most development skills | | Auto | Triggers automatically after any skill | session-logger | | Background | Runs non-blocking after related skill | self-improving-agent | | After skill updates | Only triggers when skills are modified | create-pr | | (keyword: "...") | Activates on specific keyword | prd-planner (keyword: "PRD") |

When to Update README

Always update when:

Adding a new skill
Removing a skill
Changing skill names or descriptions
Restructuring the skills directory

Consider updating when:

Adding significant features to existing skills
Changing installation instructions
Modifying project structure

Skip updating when:

Internal code refactoring with no user impact
Minor typo fixes
Test file changes

Bilingual Update Format

When adding a new skill to the skills table:

English (README.md):

| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | Brief skill description |

Chinese (README.zh-CN.md):

| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | 技能简短描述 |

Language Switch Link

Both README files must have the language switch at the top:

README.md:

English | [简体中文](./README.zh-CN.md)

README.zh-CN.md:

[English](./README.md) | 简体中文

Common Scenarios

Scenario 1: Adding a New Skill

# 1. Create skill files
mkdir -p skills/new-skill
touch skills/new-skill/SKILL.md
touch skills/new-skill/README.md

# 2. Create symlink
ln -s ~/path/to/agent-playbook/skills/new-skill/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/new-skill.md

# 3. Update README.md (add to skills table)
# 4. Update README.zh-CN.md (add to skills table with translation)

# 5. Commit and push
git add skills/new-skill/ README.md README.zh-CN.md
git commit -m "feat: add new-skill for ..."
git push -u origin feature/add-new-skill

# 6. Create PR
gh pr create --title "feat: add new-skill" --body "..."

Scenario 2: Modifying an Existing Skill

# 1. Make changes to skill
vim skills/existing-skill/SKILL.md

# 2. Check if description changed
git diff skills/existing-skill/SKILL.md

# 3. If description changed, update README files
# 4. Commit, push, create PR

Scenario 3: Bug Fix Only

# 1. Fix the bug
vim skills/some-skill/SKILL.md

# 2. Commit and push (no README update needed)
git add skills/some-skill/SKILL.md
git commit -m "fix: correct typo in some-skill"
git push

# 3. Create PR
gh pr create --title "fix: correct typo in some-skill"
