About this capability

Create or update GitHub pull requests using the repository-required workflow and template compliance. Use when asked to create/open/update a PR so the assistant reads `.github/pull_request_template.md`, fills every template section, preserves markdown structure exactly, and marks missing data as N/A

Workflow

Read .github/pull_request_template.md before drafting the PR body.
Collect PR context from the current branch (base/head, scope, linked issues, testing status, breaking changes, release note content).
Check if the current branch has been pushed to remote. If not, push it first:
- Default remote is origin, but ask the user if they want to use a different remote.
```
git push -u <remote> <head-branch>
```
Determine the base branch:
- Inspect the head branch before applying any default. If the head is release/v<version>, stop: never open a pull request from a release branch, especially not to main. Put an isolated fix on a topic branch and target the release branch, or let Post Release create the metadata sync branch.
- Before defaulting an arbitrary topic branch to main, inspect its merge base and upstream. A product-code fix that started from release/v<version> must stop and be recreated from main as a hotfix; only a release-only repair or explicit backport recovery topic may target that exact release branch.
- A backport/v<version>/pr-<number> head must target the matching release/v<version> base and its body must contain  on its own line for the exact source hotfix PR. A release-sync/v<version> head must target main, use the exact title chore(release): sync v<version> metadata, retain the release-metadata-boundary: v<version> body marker, and be squash-merged.
- For official repo(CherryHQ/cherry-studio) as origin: default base is main from origin, but allow the user to explicitly indicate a base branch.
- main is the active development line, including hotfix PRs. Do not target an old maintenance branch unless the user explicitly requests it.
- Only classify a PR as a release hotfix when the user explicitly says it must be included in the active draft release. Use the title hotfix: <description> or hotfix(<kebab-case-scope>): <description> with a lowercase alphanumeric kebab-case scope, exactly one space after the colon, and a non-empty description. The title grammar synchronizes the hotfix label automatically. Merging opens a separate backport PR only when exactly one draft semantic-version release has a matching active release/v<version> branch; otherwise automation stops without guessing a target.
- If the hotfix is user-facing, provide one release-note line in each language so automation can update the active draft and stable release history. Put this exact structure inside the template's existing release-note fence; do not include bullet prefixes:
```

[Component] English description.

[组件] 中文说明。

```
- If the hotfix has no user-facing release note, keep NONE in the template's release-note fence. The code is still backported, but release metadata is unchanged. A provided bilingual block must satisfy the exact structure above.
- For fork repo as origin: check available remotes with git remote -v, default base may be upstream/main or another remote. Always assume that user wants to merge head to CherryHQ/cherry-studio/main, unless the user explicitly indicates a base branch.
- Ask the user to confirm the base branch if it's not the default.
Create a temp file and write the PR body using a single Bash heredoc (avoids mktemp + Write tool path-mismatch on Windows):
```
pr_body_file="/tmp/gh-pr-body-$(date +%s).md"
cat > "$pr_body_file" <<'EOF'
...filled template body...
EOF
```
Fill content using the template structure exactly (keep section order, headings, checkbox formatting). If not applicable, write N/A or None.
Preview the temp file content via Bash cat "$pr_body_file" (the Read tool can fail on /tmp/... paths on Windows). Show the file path and ask for explicit confirmation before creating. Skip if the user explicitly waives preview (automation workflows).
After confirmation, create the PR:
```
gh pr create --base <base> --head <head> --title "<title>" --body-file "$pr_body_file"
```
For a release hotfix, use an exact classifier-compatible title so the workflow synchronizes the label and separately validates any provided bilingual note:
```
gh pr create --base main --head <head> --title "hotfix: <description>" --body-file "$pr_body_file"
```
After creation, verify that the classifier added hotfix; if it did not, fix the title instead of adding the label manually. Also fix any malformed optional release-note block reported by the workflow.
Clean up the temp file: rm -f "$pr_body_file"
Report the created PR URL and summarize title/base/head and any required follow-up.

Constraints

Never skip template sections.
Never rewrite the template format.
Keep content concise and specific to the current change set.
PR title and body must be written in English.
Never use a hotfix title or label for an ordinary bug fix. It opts the PR into an automatic backport PR after merge when one matching draft release is active.
A release hotfix may use NONE when it has no user-facing release note. Never provide a partial, single-language, or otherwise malformed bilingual note; the backport workflow fails closed on malformed content.
Never default a release/v<version> head to main; a release branch is not a pull request source branch.
Never create the PR before showing the full final body to the user, unless they explicitly waive the preview or confirmation.
Never rely on command permission prompts as PR body preview.

Release note & Documentation checkbox — both are driven by whether the change is user-facing. Use the table below:

Change type	Release note	Docs `[x]`
New user-facing feature / setting / UI	Describe the change	✅
Bug fix visible to users	Describe the fix	✅ if behavior changed
Behavior change / default value change	Describe + `action required`	✅
Security fix in a user-facing dependency	Describe the fix	✅ if usage changed
CI / GitHub Actions changes	`NONE`	❌
Internal refactoring (user cannot tell)	`NONE`	❌
Dev / build tooling changes	`NONE`	❌
Dev-only dependency bump	`NONE`	❌
Test-only / code style changes	`NONE`	❌

Command Pattern

# read template
cat .github/pull_request_template.md

# show this full Markdown body in chat first
pr_body_file="/tmp/gh-pr-body-$(date +%s).md"
cat > "$pr_body_file" <<'EOF'
...filled template body...
EOF
cat "$pr_body_file"

# run only after explicit user confirmation
gh pr create --base <base> --head <head> --title "<title>" --body-file "$pr_body_file"
rm -f "$pr_body_file"
