# Team PR — Create the Pull Request

Before each consuming step, read its linked shared rules from this installed skill directory.
If a required read fails, stop that step with the exact path. Never use checkout fallback or recursive loading.

Before finalizing prose you author, call the Skill tool with `unslop` and
`writing-prose`, in that order. Preserve exact commands, tokens, and templates.

Run the PR phase. Two modes:

- **Resume mode** — Implement passed the aggregate gate. The topic branch
  has slice commits ready. `$ARGUMENTS/1-task.md` and `$ARGUMENTS/6-design.md`
  exist.
- **Standalone mode** — no matching artifact directory, but the working
  tree has commits or staged changes ready to ship. Treat the current
  branch as the work source.

## Core contracts

1. **Update CHANGELOG.md** and commit before opening any PR.
2. **Open a draft PR automatically — do not stop to ask.** Push, then run `gh pr create --draft`.
3. After creation, hand off to `/pr-watch-as-author`.
4. In multi-repo mode, open one draft PR per repo and add `## Companion PRs` links.
5. Read [tracking rules](references/tracking.md) for the in-review transition and the multi-repo home-only closing rule.
6. After each push, refresh the body. Re-emit exactly one closing line: never duplicated, never dropped.

**Prose bar.** The body addresses one busy reader making one decision. Before finalizing, call the Skill tool with `writing-prose` and apply its `## One busy reader` rule and its `## Self-lint`. `## Summary` opens with the recommendation or the observable outcome, never with a sentence describing the PR.

The `Closes` footer is conditional and appears as the final line of the PR body. **Placement rationale:** narrative precedes machine metadata. For `## Review notes`, omit the section entirely when empty; never emit a bare heading. Tag COMMENT findings with their `design-review-<n>` source.

**`## Review notes` (conditional):** copy `cross-model-notes.md` with frontmatter stripped. Its copy replaces the final round's inline `### Cross-model disposition` block; exclude `### Cross-model disposition` from other sweeps so each round appears once.

## Procedure references

Read each reference completely when reaching that stage. Follow them in order; later stages depend on state and gates established earlier.
