GitHub Pull Request Rewrite Skill

Same as the pr skill, but instead of creating a new PR, fully rewrites the title and body of the PR already open for the current branch.

This is a full rewrite (not an enhancement). For incremental enhancement of an existing description, use pr-enhance instead.

Workflow

Follow the pr skill, with these changes:

1. Determine Base Branch

Fetch the existing PR to source the base branch:

gh pr view --json number,url,title,body,baseRefName,headRefName

If no PR exists for the current branch, inform the user and stop. Use baseRefName from the PR as the base branch — do not ask the user to choose.

2–6. Unchanged

Verify changes, gather issue context, discover templates, generate title and body, and write the draft to NOTES_PR.md exactly as in pr.

7. Update the Pull Request

Instead of gh pr create, use gh pr edit to overwrite the title and body:

gh pr edit \
  --title "{title}" \
  --body "{full_body}"

8. Report Result

Output the updated PR URL.
