# Pull Request

Create a GitHub PR with a structured description and a manual smoke test checklist derived from the changes.

## Step 1 — Gather context

Detect the base branch:
```bash
git branch -r | grep -E 'origin/(main|master)'
```

Use `main`, fall back to `master`.

Run the following:
```bash
git log <base>..HEAD --oneline
git diff <base>..HEAD --stat
```

Also read `.claude/anchorstack/project.md` if it exists for product/stack context.

## Step 2 — Draft the PR title

Use conventional commit style: `type(scope): short description`

Match the type to the dominant change (feat, fix, refactor, chore, etc.). Keep it under 72 characters.

## Step 3 — Draft the PR body

Use this template:

```markdown
## What changed

<2–4 sentences summarising the change and why. Focus on the why, not just the what.>

## Type of change

- [ ] Bug fix
- [ ] New feature
- [ ] Refactor / cleanup
- [ ] Chore / dependency / config
- [ ] Breaking change

## Smoke tests

Manual checks to run before merging:

- [ ] <specific thing to test based on what changed>
- [ ] <another specific check>
- [ ] <edge case or regression risk worth verifying>

## Notes for reviewer

<Anything non-obvious: tricky decisions, known limitations, follow-up work, areas that need extra scrutiny.>
```

### Smoke test generation

Derive smoke tests from the diff — be specific, not generic. Examples:
- Changed auth flow → "Log in with Google, verify redirect works"
- Changed API endpoint → "Hit /api/orders with valid and invalid payloads, check response shape"
- Changed DB migration → "Run migration on a copy of prod data, verify no row count change"
- Changed UI component → "Render at mobile and desktop breakpoints, verify no layout shift"

Avoid filler items like "make sure the app works". Every item should be something a human can actually check in under 5 minutes.

## Step 4 — Confirm

Show the full title and body to the user. Ask for approval or edits before creating.

## Step 5 — Create the PR

```bash
gh pr create --title "<title>" --body "<body>" --base <base>
```

Report the PR URL when done.

pr-to-video

heygen-com/hyperframes

Turn a GitHub pull request (a PR URL, owner/repo#N, or 'this PR' in a checked-out repo) into a code-change explainer video — changelog, feature reveal, fix, or refactor walkthrough built from the diff, commits, and files: the input is a code change, not a website. Not a product promo (/product-launch-video) or a no-PR topic explainer (/faceless-explainer). Unclear → /hyperframes.

public-relations

coreyhaines31/marketingskills

When the user wants help with public relations, earned media, press coverage, journalist outreach, or media strategy (not pull requests). Also use when the user mentions 'PR,' 'public relations,' 'press,' 'press release,' 'press coverage,' 'media outreach,' 'pitch a journalist,' 'get featured,' 'media list,' 'media kit,' 'press kit,' 'newsjacking,' 'news hijack,' 'HARO,' 'Qwoted,' 'Featured,' 'Help A Reporter,' 'reporter request,' 'tech press,' 'TechCrunch,' 'earned media,' 'thought leadership placement,' 'op-ed,' 'guest article,' 'press contacts,' 'podcast prep,' 'going on a podcast,' 'podcast guest,' 'prep me for this podcast,' or 'how do I get press.' Use this for earned media work — finding journalists, pitching stories, newsjacking, prepping podcast appearances, and responding to press requests. For startup/SaaS/AI directory submissions, see directory-submissions. For product launches, see launch. For social-media engagement, see social. For cold-email outreach to prospects, see cold-email.
