Creates a pull request from current changes, monitors GitHub CI, and debugs any failures until CI passes. Activate when the user says "create pr", "make a pr", "open pull request", "submit pr", "pr for these changes", or wants to get their current work into a reviewable PR. Assumes the project uses git, is hosted on GitHub, and has GitHub Actions CI with automated checks (lint, build, tests, etc.). Does NOT merge - stops when CI passes and provides the PR link.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# PR Creator Skill

Get changes into a PR, monitor CI, fix any failures, and notify the user when the PR is ready for review.

The user may already have commits ready on a feature branch, or may have uncommitted changes, or both. Adapt the workflow to the current state.

## Task List Integration

**CRITICAL:** Use your harness's task list system (e.g., TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, and TaskList tools) for progress tracking and session recovery. Use these tools throughout execution.

### Task Hierarchy
```
[Main Task] "Create PR: [branch-name]"
  └── [CI Task] "CI Run #1" (status: failed, reason: lint)
      └── [Fix Task] "Fix: lint"
  └── [CI Task] "CI Run #2" (status: failed, reason: test failures)
      └── [Fix Task] "Fix: test failures"
  └── [CI Task] "CI Run #3" (status: passed)
```

**At the start, always call TaskList to check for existing PR tasks.** If a "Create PR" task exists with status in_progress, resume using the Session Recovery section below.

## Process

### Step 1: Assess Current State

**Check for a `--reviewer` argument** in the user's message. If present, store the value for use in Step 5. It may be a GitHub handle (`@username`) or a name (`Jane Doe`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add posit-dev/skills/pr-create@sha256:b1ed762c173c86ac

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
