GitHubPR Prep Skill
Run the full pre-PR checklist on changed files, then generate a PR description.
Step 1 — Identify Changed Files
git diff --name-only main # or master / develop — detect the base branch
git diff --stat main
Step 2 — Run Automated Checks
# Node.js
npx tsc --noEmit # type check
npx eslint . # lint
npx jest --passWithNoTests # tests
# Go
go vet ./...
golangci-lint run
go test ./... -race
# PHP
./vendor/bin/pint # formatting (Laravel)
./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse
./vendor/bin/pest
Report results — list failures clearly. Do not proceed with the PR description if there are type errors or test failures.
Step 3 — Design Checklist (for changed files only)
Check each changed file against:
- No business logic in controllers
- No direct DB access in services
- No
new ConcreteClass()inside classes — dependencies are injected - No
anytype (TypeScript) / unhandled errors (Go) / missing strict_types (PHP) - Early returns used — no deeply nested conditionals
- New code has corresponding tests
- New public methods have clear names that describe their behaviour
Flag any failures with file:line reference.
Step 4 — Generate PR Description
## What
<1–2 sentence summary of what this PR does>
## Why
<business or technical reason — what problem does it solve?>
## Changes
- <specific change 1>
- <specific change 2>
- ...
## Design Decisions
<any trade-offs made, patterns applied, or notable architectural choices>
## Testing
- Unit tests: <what is covered>
- Integration tests: <what is covered>
- Manual testing: <steps to verify if needed>
## Checklist
- [ ] Tests pass
- [ ] No linting errors
- [ ] No type errors
- [ ] Layer boundaries respected
- [ ] No secrets or debug code committed
Output
- Print the checklist results first (pass/fail per item)
- Then print the PR description, ready to copy
- Flag any items that need manual attention before the PR is opened
