codagent:push-pr

Commit all changes, push to the remote, and create or update the pull request for the current branch.

Steps

1. Run validator detection

   • Run agent-validator detect 2>&1
   • Exit 0 → gates would run, invoke agent-validator:validator-run skill and wait for it to pass before proceeding
   • Exit 2 → no gates would run (no changes or no applicable gates), skip to Step 2
   • Exit 1 → error, report the error to the user and stop
   • Any other exit code → treat as error, report output to the user, and stop

2. Check for uncommitted changes using git status --porcelain

   • If there are changes, create a commit:
     • Run git diff --staged and git diff to see what's changed
     • Generate a concise, descriptive commit message based on the changes
     • Stage changed files by name (avoid staging sensitive files like .env or credentials)
     • Commit with: git commit -m "message"; add -m "Co-Authored-By: <Name> <email>" only when the co-author identity is explicitly configured or provided by the user
   • If there are no changes, proceed to push check

3. Push to remote

   • Get current branch: git branch --show-current
   • Push with upstream tracking: git push -u origin <branch>
   • If push fails, show the error and stop

4. Check if PR exists

   • Query the current branch explicitly: gh pr list --head <branch> --state open --json url,title,state,number,headRefOid --limit 2
   • If the command fails for auth, network, API, or another error, report stderr and stop
   • If the output is invalid JSON or contains more than one open PR, report the unexpected state and stop
   • If exactly one open PR exists, use it; do not let a prior closed or merged PR substitute for it
   • If PR exists and is OPEN:
     • Check if there are new commits by comparing current HEAD with PR's headRefOid
     • If new commits exist:
       • Get default branch: gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq .defaultBranchRef.name
       • Get all commits for the description: git log <default-branch>..HEAD --oneline
       • Regenerate the PR description based on all commits (including the new ones)
       • Update the PR: gh pr edit <pr-number> --body "updated description"
       • Print: "PR updated with new commits: "
     • If no new commits: print "PR already exists: "
   • If no open PR exists:
     • Optionally query gh pr list --head <branch> --state all for context. Treat CLOSED and MERGED as terminal history, not as the current PR.
     • Print that no open PR exists and create a new PR using the steps below.
     • Get default branch: gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq .defaultBranchRef.name
     • Get commit history for PR description: git log <default-branch>..HEAD --oneline
     • Generate a clear PR title and description based on the commits and change context
     • Create PR: gh pr create --base <default-branch> --title "title" --body "description"
     • Print the PR URL

5. Print the PR URL at the end so it's easy to find

Notes

• Operates on the current branch — does NOT create or switch branches
• Uses descriptive commit messages that explain the "why" not just the "what"
• PR descriptions should summarize the changes and their purpose
• Always include the PR URL in the final output
• Can be invoked standalone at any point without prior workflow state
• A merged or closed PR for the current branch never prevents creating a new open PR
