Create Merge Request

Create a merge request (MR) or pull request (PR) and notify the appropriate reviewer.

When to Use

• User says: "create merge request", "create PR", "submit for review", "open MR"
• User wants to merge their branch to main
• Code is ready for review

Step 1: Ensure Branch is Pushed

Check if branch exists on remote:

git status
git branch -vv

If not pushed, push the branch:

git push -u origin <branch-name>

Step 2: Determine Platform

Identify the Git platform:

• GitHub → Pull Request
• GitLab → Merge Request
• Bitbucket → Pull Request

Check the remote URL:

git remote -v

Step 3: Create MR/PR

GitHub (using gh CLI):

gh pr create --title "<title>" --body "<description>"

GitLab (using glab CLI):

glab mr create --title "<title>" --description "<description>"

GitHub (manual): Open browser to:

https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/compare/<main-branch>...<branch-name>

Step 4: Get MR Link

Store the MR/PR URL returned from the command or extract from browser.

Step 5: Find Reviewer

REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use worker:find-poc to identify the appropriate reviewer.

The find-poc skill will search memory for:

• Team structure
• CODEOWNERS file
• Git blame for recent changes
• Team directory

Step 6: Notify Reviewer

REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use worker:notify-reviewer to send the MR link to the appropriate communication channel.

Step 7: Confirm

Report:

• MR/PR URL
• Reviewer name
• Notification method used
• Any notes for the user
