What this skill does


## When to Use

- Creating a new Pull Request
- Writing PR titles and descriptions
- Preparing commits for review
- Using `gh pr create` command

---

## Critical Patterns

### PR Title = Conventional Commit

```
<type>(<scope>): <short description>

feat     New feature
fix      Bug fix  
docs     Documentation
refactor Code refactoring
test     Adding tests
chore    Maintenance
```

### PR Description Structure

```markdown
## Summary
- 1-3 bullet points explaining WHAT and WHY

## Changes
- List main changes

## Testing
- [ ] Tests added/updated
- [ ] Manual testing done

Closes #123
```

### Atomic Commits

```bash
# Good: One thing per commit
git commit -m "feat(user): add User model"
git commit -m "feat(user): add UserService"
git commit -m "test(user): add UserService tests"

# Bad: Everything in one commit
git commit -m "add user feature"
```

---

## Code Examples

### Basic PR Creation

```bash
gh pr create \
  --title "feat(auth): add OAuth2 login" \
  --body "## Summary
- Add Google OAuth2 authentication

## Changes
- Added AuthProvider component
- Created useAuth hook

Closes #42"
```

### PR with HEREDOC (Complex Description)

```bash
gh pr create --title "feat(dashboard): add analytics" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
- Add real-time analytics dashboard

## Changes
- Created AnalyticsProvider
- Added LineChart, BarChart components

## Testing
- [x] Unit tests for components
- [x] Manual testing complete

## Screenshots
![Dashboard](url)

Closes #123
EOF
)"
```

### Draft PR

```bash
gh pr create --draft \
  --title "wip: refactor auth" \
  --body "Work in progress"
```

### PR with Reviewers and Labels

```bash
gh pr create \
  --title "feat(api): add rate limiting" \
  --body "Adds rate limiting to API" \
  --reviewer "user1,user2" \
  --label "enhancement,api"
```

---

## Commands

```bash
# Create PR
gh pr create --title "type(scope): desc" --body "..."

# Create with web editor
gh pr create --web

# View PR status
gh pr status

# View diff
gh pr diff

# Check CI status
gh pr checks

# Merge with squash
gh pr merge --squash

# Add reviewer
gh pr edit --add-reviewer username
```

---

## Anti-Patterns

### Don't: Vague Titles

```bash
# Bad
gh pr create --title "fix bug"
gh pr create --title "update"

# Good
gh pr create --title "fix(auth): prevent session timeout"
```

### Don't: Giant PRs

```bash
# Bad: 50 files, 2000+ lines in one PR

# Good: Split into logical PRs
# PR 1: feat(models): add User model
# PR 2: feat(api): add user endpoints
# PR 3: feat(ui): add user pages
```

### Don't: Empty Descriptions

```bash
# Bad
--body "Added feature"

# Good
--body "## Summary
- What you did and why

## Changes  
- Specific changes

Closes #123"
```

---

## Quick Reference

| Task | Command |
|------|---------|
| Create PR | `gh pr create -t "type: desc" -b "body"` |
| Draft PR | `gh pr create --draft` |
| Web editor | `gh pr create --web` |
| Add reviewer | `--reviewer user1,user2` |
| Add label | `--label bug,high-priority` |
| Link issue | `Closes #123` in body |
| View status | `gh pr status` |
| Merge squash | `gh pr merge --squash` |

Related in Writing & Docs

jax-development

Included

Use this skill when the user is writing, debugging, profiling, refactoring, reviewing, benchmarking, parallelising, exporting, or explaining JAX code, or when they mention JAX, jax.numpy, jit, grad, value_and_grad, vmap, scan, lax, random keys, pytrees, jax.Array, sharding, Mesh, PartitionSpec, NamedSharding, pmap, shard_map, Pallas, XLA, StableHLO, checkify, profiler, or the JAX repo. It helps turn NumPy or PyTorch-style code into pure functional JAX, fix tracer/control-flow/shape/PRNG bugs, remove recompiles and host-device syncs, choose transforms and sharding strategies, inspect jaxpr/lowering/IR, and benchmark compiled code correctly.

Writing & Docsscripts

nature-article-writer

Included

Drafts, rewrites, diagnostically critiques, and style-calibrates primary research manuscripts for Nature and Nature Portfolio journals. Use when the user wants a Nature-style title, summary paragraph or abstract, introduction, results, discussion, methods, figure legends, presubmission enquiry, cover letter, reviewer response, or when a scientific draft sounds generic, jargon-heavy, structurally weak, or AI-ish and needs precise, broad-reader-friendly prose without inventing data, analyses, or references. Best for primary research articles and letters rather than reviews or press releases unless explicitly adapting one.

Writing & Docsscripts

deckrd

Included

Document-driven framework that derives requirements, specifications, implementation plans, and executable tasks from goals through structured AI dialogue. Use when user says "write requirements", "create spec", "plan implementation", "derive tasks", "structure this feature", "break down into tasks", or "document this module". Also use for reverse engineering existing code into docs (/deckrd rev). Do NOT use for direct code writing — use /deckrd-coder after tasks are generated. Do NOT use when the user only wants to run or fix existing code without planning.

Writing & Docsscripts

clinical-decision-support

Included

Generate professional clinical decision support (CDS) documents for pharmaceutical and clinical research settings, including patient cohort analyses (biomarker-stratified with outcomes) and treatment recommendation reports (evidence-based guidelines with decision algorithms). Supports GRADE evidence grading, statistical analysis (hazard ratios, survival curves, waterfall plots), biomarker integration, and regulatory compliance. Outputs publication-ready LaTeX/PDF format optimized for drug development, clinical research, and evidence synthesis.

Writing & Docsscripts

handling-sf-data

Included

Salesforce data operations with 130-point scoring. Use this skill to create, update, delete, bulk import/export, generate test data, and clean up org records using sf CLI and anonymous Apex. TRIGGER when: user creates test data, performs bulk import/export, uses sf data CLI commands, needs data factory patterns for Apex tests, or needs to seed/clean records in a Salesforce org. DO NOT TRIGGER when: SOQL query writing only (use querying-soql), Apex test execution (use running-apex-tests), or metadata deployment (use deploying-metadata).

Writing & Docsscripts

accelint-ac-to-playwright

Included

Convert and validate acceptance criteria for Playwright test automation. Use when user asks to (1) review/evaluate/check if AC are ready for automation, (2) assess if AC can be converted as-is, (3) validate AC quality for Playwright, (4) turn AC into tests, (5) generate tests from acceptance criteria, (6) convert .md bullets or .feature Gherkin files to Playwright specs, (7) create test automation from requirements. Handles both bullet-style markdown and Gherkin syntax with JSON test plan generation and validation.
