What Pull Request Enhancement does

The Pull Request Enhancement skill is designed to help developers create structured and comprehensive pull request (PR) descriptions from git diffs. When you need to turn a complex set of changes into a clear and concise document for reviewers, this skill automates the process. It categorizes changes into source, test, config, docs, build, and styles, ensuring that every aspect of the PR is covered. This structured approach not only saves time but also enhances the clarity and effectiveness of communication among team members.

To use the skill, simply run a git diff command to identify the changed files and their scope. The skill then generates a PR description using a predefined template that includes a summary, detailed change categories, testing notes, and a review checklist. This ensures that reviewers have all the necessary information at their fingertips, making the review process smoother and more efficient. Additionally, the skill flags any breaking changes or security-sensitive modifications, allowing teams to address potential issues proactively.

This skill is particularly beneficial for teams that frequently deal with large PRs or complex changes. By providing a structured format, it helps to mitigate the risk of important details being overlooked. It is also useful for onboarding new team members who may need guidance on what to look for during a PR review. Overall, this skill enhances collaboration and improves the quality of code reviews, making it a valuable addition to any developer's toolkit.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need to generate a detailed PR description from a git diff, particularly for large or complex changes that require explicit structure.

When not to use it

Avoid using this skill for small, straightforward PRs where a simple description suffices, or when the task does not align with the outlined workflow.

What you can build with it

Creating a PR for a Major Feature

When implementing a significant feature with multiple changes, use this skill to generate a detailed PR description that highlights all aspects of the update.

Reviewing a Large Codebase Change

If you have a large set of changes that need review, this skill helps structure the PR, making it easier for reviewers to understand the impact.

Onboarding New Developers

Use this skill to provide new team members with a clear framework for writing and reviewing PRs, ensuring consistency in documentation.

Pull Request Enhancement

When to Use

  • You need to turn a git diff into a reviewer-friendly pull request description.
  • You want a PR summary with change categories, risks, testing notes, and a checklist.
  • The diff is large enough that reviewers need explicit structure instead of a short ad hoc summary.

Workflow

  1. Run git diff <base>...HEAD --stat to identify changed files and scope
  2. Categorise changes: source, test, config, docs, build, styles
  3. Generate the PR description using the template below
  4. Add a review checklist based on which file categories changed
  5. Flag breaking changes, security-sensitive files, or large diffs (>500 lines)

PR Description Template

## Summary
<!-- one-paragraph executive summary: what changed and why -->

## Changes
| Category | Files | Key change |
|----------|-------|------------|
| source   | `src/auth.ts` | added OAuth2 PKCE flow |
| test     | `tests/auth.test.ts` | covers token refresh edge case |
| config   | `.env.example` | new `OAUTH_CLIENT_ID` var |

## Why
<!-- link to issue/ticket + one sentence on motivation -->

## Testing
- [ ] unit tests pass (`npm test`)
- [ ] manual smoke test on staging
- [ ] no coverage regression

## Risks & Rollback
- **Breaking?** yes / no
- **Rollback**: revert this commit; no migration needed
- **Risk level**: low / medium / high — because ___

Review Checklist Rules

Add checklist sections only when the matching file category appears in the diff:

File categoryChecklist items
sourceno debug statements, functions <50 lines, descriptive names, error handling
testmeaningful assertions, edge cases, no flaky tests, AAA pattern
configno hardcoded secrets, env vars documented, backwards compatible
docsaccurate, examples included, changelog updated
security-sensitive (auth, crypto, token, password in path)input validation, no secrets in logs, authz correct

Splitting Large PRs

When diff exceeds 20 files or 1000 lines, suggest splitting by feature area:

git checkout -b feature/part-1
git cherry-pick <commits-for-part-1>

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
