Cross-runtime: follow runtime compatibility for invocation, delegation, configuration precedence, state paths, and permissions.

You are helping create a pull request with a comprehensive description. Your task is to gather information, generate the PR description, push the branch, and create the PR using project conventions.

Step 1: Load Configuration

Check for configuration and context:

# Check for config and context files
if [ -f ".git-workflow/config.yaml" ]; then CONFIG_PATH=".git-workflow/config.yaml"; elif [ -f ".claude/config.yaml" ]; then CONFIG_PATH=".claude/config.yaml"; else CONFIG_PATH=""; fi
if [ -f ".git-workflow/pr-context.json" ]; then CONTEXT_PATH=".git-workflow/pr-context.json"; elif [ -f ".claude/.pr-context.json" ]; then CONTEXT_PATH=".claude/.pr-context.json"; else CONTEXT_PATH=""; fi

# Get current branch
git branch --show-current

Load from the resolved CONFIG_PATH (canonical first, legacy read-only fallback):

workflow:
  developmentBranch: staging
  productionBranch: main
pullRequests:
  targetBranch: staging
  reviewers: []
  labels: []
issueTracker:
  type: auto

Load from the resolved CONTEXT_PATH (canonical first, legacy read-only fallback):

{
  "ticket_id": "PROJ-1234",
  "ticket_url": "https://...",
  "ticket_title": "Ticket title",
  "branch": "fix/proj-1234-description",
  "type": "fix",
  "description": "Short description"
}

Default Values (when no config):

pullRequests:
  targetBranch: staging
  reviewers: []
  labels: []

If context file is missing or incomplete:

• Inform the user they should run /start and /commit first
• Ask for missing information (ticket ID, branch name)

If the context contains a branch value that does not match the current branch, treat it as stale, explain which file was ignored, and gather fresh context. Do not silently reuse context from another branch.

Step 2: Verify State

Check current git state:

# Current branch
CURRENT_BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)

# Commits on this branch vs target
TARGET_BRANCH=$(config.pullRequests.targetBranch || "staging")
git log --oneline ${TARGET_BRANCH}..HEAD

# Any uncommitted changes?
git status --short

Warnings:

• If uncommitted changes exist: "You have uncommitted changes. Run /commit first?"
• If no commits on branch: "No commits to create PR. Make changes and run /commit first."
• If on target branch: "You're on the target branch. Switch to a feature branch first."

Step 3: Gather Changed Files

Analyze what changed:

# Files changed vs target branch
TARGET_BRANCH=$(config.pullRequests.targetBranch || "staging")
git diff --name-only ${TARGET_BRANCH}...HEAD
git diff --stat ${TARGET_BRANCH}...HEAD

# Commit messages on this branch
git log --oneline ${TARGET_BRANCH}..HEAD

Display summary:

Changes on this branch:

Files changed: 5
Commits: 3

Files:
  M src/services/auth.ts (+45, -12)
  M src/controllers/user.ts (+23, -8)
  A src/utils/validation.ts (+67)
  M tests/auth.test.ts (+89, -0)
  M package.json (+2, -1)

Commits:
  abc1234 [Fix] Update authentication flow (PROJ-1234)
  def5678 [Fix] Add input validation (PROJ-1234)
  ghi9012 [Fix] Add unit tests (PROJ-1234)

Step 4: Gather PR Information

Ask the user for additional context (use the active host user-input mechanism):

Question 1: Summary of Changes

Question: "Briefly describe what this PR does and why"

Example: "Fixes authentication timeout by implementing token refresh and adding proper error handling"

Question 2: What Issues Were Fixed

Question: "What issues did this PR fix? List each problem and solution."

Format: Numbered list

Example:

1. Token expiry not handled -> Added automatic token refresh
2. No validation on user input -> Added input sanitization
3. Missing error messages -> Added user-friendly error responses

Question 3: Testing Instructions

Question: "How should reviewers test these changes?"

Options:

1. Run existing tests (default)
2. Manual testing required - will provide instructions
3. Both automated and manual testing needed

If manual testing, ask for specific test steps.

Question 4: Breaking Changes

Question: "Are there any breaking changes?"

Options:

• No breaking changes (default)
• Yes, there are breaking changes

If yes, ask for description of breaking changes.

Step 5: Generate PR Description

Use this template and fill with collected data:

## Description

{Fixes|Closes|Relates to} {ticket_id}

{High-level summary from user input}

### Changes

{For each commit or logical change, create a bullet point}

- **{Component/Area}**: {Description of change}

### Why

{Root cause explanation from user}

{Solution explanation}

---

## Testing

### Automated Tests

```bash
{testing.unit command or auto-detected}
```

### Manual Testing

{If manual testing required, include steps}

{If API endpoint, include curl example:}

```bash
curl -X {METHOD} "{base_url}/{endpoint}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
```

### Expected Result

**Before**: {Description of broken behavior}
**After**: {Description of fixed behavior}

---

## Checklist

- [ ] Tests pass locally
- [ ] Code follows project style guidelines
- [ ] Self-review completed
- [ ] Documentation updated (if needed)
{If breaking changes:}
- [ ] Breaking changes documented
- [ ] Migration guide provided

Customize for Issue Tracker

Linear:

## Description

Fixes {ticket_id}

{Linear will auto-link to the ticket}

Jira:

## Description

Fixes [{ticket_id}]({jira_base_url}/browse/{ticket_id})

GitHub Issues:

## Description

Fixes #{issue_number}

Step 6: Push Branch

# Push branch to remote with upstream tracking
git push -u origin {branch_name}

Error Handling:

• If branch already pushed with changes: Ask to force push or just update
• If push fails: Show error and suggest solutions

Step 7: Create PR

Format PR Title

Use commit message format from config (default: [{type}] {message} ({ticket})):

[Fix] Update authentication flow (PROJ-1234)
[Feature] Add dark mode support (ENG-456)
[Hotfix] Fix critical security issue (ABC-789)

Create PR with gh CLI

# Determine target branch
TARGET_BRANCH=$(config.pullRequests.targetBranch || "staging")

# Create PR
gh pr create \
  --base "${TARGET_BRANCH}" \
  --title "{PR_TITLE}" \
  --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
{GENERATED_DESCRIPTION}
EOF
)"

Add Reviewers (If Configured)

# From config.pullRequests.reviewers
gh pr edit {PR_NUMBER} --add-reviewer "user1,user2,team/name"

Add Labels (If Configured)

# From config.pullRequests.labels
gh pr edit {PR_NUMBER} --add-label "needs-review,bug"

Assign to Self

gh pr edit {PR_NUMBER} --add-assignee @me

Step 8: Link to Issue Tracker

Linear (via MCP)

If Linear MCP server is available, update ticket status:

mcp__linear__update_issue(id: ticket_id, state: "In Review")

The MCP server handles authentication automatically.

Jira (via MCP)

If Jira MCP server is available, add PR link and update status:

mcp__jira__add_comment(issueKey: ticket_id, body: "PR: {PR_URL}")

GitHub Issues

GitHub automatically links PRs with "Fixes #123" syntax (no additional action needed).

Step 9: Confirm and Cleanup

Output confirmation:

Branch pushed: {branch_name}
PR created: {PR_URL}
Title: {PR_TITLE}
Target: {target_branch}
Reviewers: {reviewers_list or "None configured"}
Labels: {labels_list or "None"}

PR is ready for review!

Optional Cleanup

Ask if the user wants to clean up canonical context:

# Remove context file (optional)
rm .git-workflow/pr-context.json

Or keep it for reference until the PR is merged. Legacy .claude/.pr-context.json is a read-only fallback and must never be deleted or modified by this workflow. If the active context came from that legacy path, warn that cleanup cannot remove it, leave it in place, and recommend /setup or $setup to migrate it.
