PR Lifecycle Management

| Status | Action | Use Case | | --------- | ------------ | ------------------------------ | | Draft | --publish | Ready for review | | Active | --draft | Need more work before review | | Active | --abandon | Close without merging | | Abandoned | --activate | Reopen previously abandoned PR |

Best Practices

  • Update description as implementation evolves
  • Publish drafts only when truly ready for review
  • Use abandon instead of deleting to preserve history
  • Keep title synchronized with actual changes

Next Steps

After updating a PR:

  • Use pr-comments skill to check for new feedback
  • Use pr-view skill to verify changes
