# 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, read the [writing standards](../team/references/writing.md); for the PR body, apply its `## One busy reader` rule and its `## Self-lint`. Preserve exact commands, tokens, and templates.

Two modes:

- **Resume mode** — Implement passed the aggregate gate; `$ARGUMENTS/1-task.md`
  and `$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 an existing CHANGELOG.md** and commit before opening any PR. If the
   root file is absent, leave it absent and report the skip unless the user
   explicitly requested a new changelog.
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.
7. **A branch that impacts a UI always carries screenshots.** Apply the ux-reviewer brief's UI-impact gate to the full branch diff. When it holds and no captured manifest exists, capture before rendering the section.
8. **Post the deferred findings and cross-model dispositions as comments on the home PR, never in the body.** After the PR opens and after each body refresh, run [review comments](references/07-review-comments.md). A refresh posts only the missing comments.

Apply the detailed [body authoring rules](references/03-pr-body-template.md) to initial drafts and every refresh.

## Procedure references

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