Draft or update a pull request using a disciplined PR schema (Summary, Review Claim, Review Lane, Review Unit, Safety Invariant, Slice Rationale, Non-goals, Measured, Test Plan, Revert Plan), a diff-atomicity gate, and visual-proof rules for UI-impacting changes. Always on after catstack install.sh via Cursor ~/.cursor/rules/draft-pr-precedence.mdc, Claude CLAUDE.md, Codex AGENTS.md, and slash commands /pr-skill, /draft-pr, /make-pr. Trigger when asked to make a PR, draft or update a PR body…

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

# draft-pr

Use this skill when the work is already done and the user wants a PR created,
updated, rewritten, split, or republished, and whenever a branch or diff
change could leave a PR's title/body out of date with the actual code.

After `./install.sh`, this is always on for Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex
(the Cursor precedence rule, Claude `CLAUDE.md`, Codex `AGENTS.md`, plus
`/pr-skill`, `/draft-pr`, and `/make-pr`). If the current repo has
`skills/make-pr/SKILL.md`, use that overlay for publication. Do not substitute
a generic `gh pr create` Summary / Test plan template.

Apply `split-scope` (this bundle's companion skill) before writing titles or
PR bodies for a stack: if one branch mixes more than one local review claim,
split the stack first.

When the current repo has `skills/make-pr/SKILL.md` (or
`engine/skills/make-pr/SKILL.md`), that overlay owns publication gates.
**Run its preflight classification before drafting any PR body** — dry-run
with commit-scoped paths is enough to learn the review unit. Draft the body
only after preflight declares one unit. Choose Mergify vs `gh` once from
that overlay before the first push, and keep that path for the slice.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add edbertchan/catstack/draft-pr@sha256:de7e2eded00bf0a6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.49133bf, 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.
