# Create PR

A skill for creating pull requests with bilingual documentation checks. This skill ensures that English and Chinese documentation stay in sync before code changes are submitted.

## When This Skill Activates

This skill activates when you:
- Ask to create a pull request or PR
- Say "submit my changes" or "push and create PR"
- Mention "make a PR" or "open a pull request"
- Want to submit code for review

## PR Creation Workflow

### Step 1: Analyze Changes

Examine all changes in the current branch:

```bash
git status
git diff
git log --oneline main..HEAD
```

Identify:
- **Modified files**: What was changed?
- **New files**: What was added?
- **Deleted files**: What was removed?
- **Impact area**: Which skills or features are affected?

### Step 2: Determine Documentation Updates

### Check for Skill Changes

First, detect if any skills were changed:

```bash
# Check if skills/ directory has changes
git diff --name-only main..HEAD | grep "^skills/"
```

### Decision Matrix

| Change Type | Documentation Action |
|-------------|---------------------|
| New skill added | Add to skills table in both EN and CN README |
| Skill description changed | Update description in skills table |
| Skill removed | Remove from skills table |
| Skill hooks changed | Update Auto-Trigger column in skills table |
| Internal skill logic only | Skip README update |
| Bug fix with no user impact | Skip README update |

### Auto-Trigger Changes Require Update

If a skill's `metadata.hooks` front matter was modified, the **Auto-Trigger** column in the Skills Catalog must be updated:

```bash
# Check if hooks were modified
git diff main..HEAD -- skills/*/SKILL.md | grep -E "^\+.*metadata:|^\+.*hooks:|^\+.*trigger:"
```

If hooks changed → Update README.md and README.zh-CN.md Auto-Trigger column.

### Step 3: Draft Commit Message

Use the `commit-helper` format:

```
<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body>

<footer>
```

Types:
- `feat`: New skill or feature
- `fix`: Bug fix or correction
- `docs`: Documentation only changes
- `refactor`: Code refactoring
- `chore`: Maintenance tasks

### Step 4: Create the Pull Request

Run the following sequence:

```bash
# 1. Stage only the intended files
git add <changed-files>
git commit -m "commit message"

# 2. Push to remote
git push -u origin <branch-name>

# 3: Create PR using gh CLI
gh pr create \
  --title "PR title" \
  --body "PR description"
```

### Step 5: Update Documentation (If Required)

Before committing or creating the PR, update both README files when the change
affects user-facing skill catalog, installation, or workflow behavior:

**README.md** (English):
- Add new skills to appropriate category table
- Update project structure if needed
- Keep language switch link at top

**README.zh-CN.md** (Chinese):
- Mirror all English changes
- Translate skill descriptions
- Maintain same structure and formatting

### Step 6: Update Changelog (Optional)

For significant changes, add to CHANGELOG.md:

```markdown
## [Version] - YYYY-MM-DD

### Added
- New skill: skill-name

### Fixed
- Fixed issue in skill-name

### Changed
- Updated skill-name with new features
```

## Documentation Update Guidelines

### Skills Catalog Update Template

When adding or modifying skills, use this format for the Skills Catalog:

**English (README.md):**
```markdown
### Category Name

| Skill | Description | Follow-up |
|-------|-------------|--------------|
| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | Brief description | Manual / Auto / Background / (keyword: "...") |
```

**Chinese (README.zh-CN.md):**
```markdown
### 类别名称

| 技能 | 描述 | 后续动作 |
|------|------|----------|
| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | 简短描述 | 手动 / 自动 / 后台 / (关键词:"...") |
```

### Auto-Trigger Column Values

| Value | Meaning | Example |
|-------|---------|---------|
| `Manual` | User must invoke | Most development skills |
| `Auto` | Triggers automatically after any skill | session-logger |
| `Background` | Runs non-blocking after related skill | self-improving-agent |
| `After skill updates` | Only triggers when skills are modified | create-pr |
| `(keyword: "...")` | Activates on specific keyword | prd-planner (keyword: "PRD") |

### When to Update README

**Always update when:**
- Adding a new skill
- Removing a skill
- Changing skill names or descriptions
- Restructuring the skills directory

**Consider updating when:**
- Adding significant features to existing skills
- Changing installation instructions
- Modifying project structure

**Skip updating when:**
- Internal code refactoring with no user impact
- Minor typo fixes
- Test file changes

### Bilingual Update Format

When adding a new skill to the skills table:

**English (README.md):**
```markdown
| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | Brief skill description |
```

**Chinese (README.zh-CN.md):**
```markdown
| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | 技能简短描述 |
```

### Language Switch Link

Both README files must have the language switch at the top:

**README.md:**
```markdown
English | [简体中文](./README.zh-CN.md)
```

**README.zh-CN.md:**
```markdown
[English](./README.md) | 简体中文
```

## PR Description Template

When creating a PR, use this template:

```markdown
## Summary

<Brief description of what this PR does>

## Changes

- [ ] New skill added
- [ ] Existing skill modified
- [ ] Documentation updated
- [ ] Tests added/updated

## Skills Affected

- `skill-name`: Description of change

## Documentation

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.
