git rev-parse --verify main 2>/dev/null && echo main || echo master - Recent commits: !
git log --oneline -10
Your task
Close the active backlog task, commit all changes, push, and open a pull request.
Step 0 — Identify the task
- Extract the task ID from the current branch name (e.g.
feature/task-113-split-css-modules→task-113). - If no task ID is found in the branch name, ask the user which task to close.
Step 1 — Close the backlog task
Close the task before committing so the task file changes are included in the commit and PR.
- Use
mcp__backlog__task_viewto read the task details (title, acceptance criteria). - Use
mcp__backlog__task_editto:- Set status to
Done - Check off all acceptance criteria that were completed (review the diff to determine which ones)
- Write a
finalSummarythat concisely describes what was implemented
- Set status to
- Use
mcp__backlog__task_completeto move the task to the completed folder.
Step 2 — Analyze changes and plan commits
Before committing, analyze git status and git diff HEAD to identify logically distinct groups of changes. Group by feature or concern — for example:
- New files that form a self-contained module → one commit
- Modifications to an existing file that depend on the new module → separate commit
- Task/backlog file changes → include in the final commit (or a dedicated chore commit)
Print a short commit plan (list of planned commits with the files in each) so the grouping is visible.
Step 3 — Commit
- Create one commit per logical group identified above. Stage only the files for that group using explicit file names (never
git add -A; never stage.envor credential files). - Write a clean, descriptive commit message for each commit using conventional commits style.
- End every commit message with:
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> - Use a HEREDOC to pass the commit message for correct formatting.
- Include the closed task file in the final commit.
Step 4 — Push
- If the current branch is
mainormaster, create a new feature branch first (use a descriptive name based on the changes). - Push the branch to origin with
-uto set upstream tracking.
Step 5 — Pull Request
- Create a PR using
gh pr createtargeting the main branch. - Keep the PR title short (under 70 characters), using conventional commit style.
- Use a HEREDOC for the PR body with this format:
## Summary
<1-3 bullet points describing the changes>
## Test plan
- [ ] <testing checklist items>

Step 6 — Update task with PR reference
- Now that you have the PR number, use
mcp__backlog__task_editto append the PR URL/number to thefinalSummary.
Step 7 — Amend commit with updated task file
- Stage the updated task file and amend the last commit to include the PR reference:
git commit --amend --no-editthengit push --force-with-lease.
Step 8 — Report
- Print the PR URL and confirm the task was closed.
Rules
- Do all steps in as few messages as possible. Parallelize independent tool calls.
- Do not read or explore code beyond what git provides in the context above.
- Do not use interactive git flags (
-i). - Never force-push or amend existing commits.
- If a pre-commit hook fails, fix the issue and create a NEW commit (do not amend).
