Creates a GitHub pull request for the current branch using the gh CLI. Use when asked to create a PR, open a pull request, submit changes for review, or push and create a PR. Defaults to draft, detects and fills repo PR templates, auto-detects the base branch, and supports 'ready for review' override. DO NOT TRIGGER for reviewing existing PRs or commenting on PRs.

Create a pull request for the current branch. Defaults to draft so the author can review on GitHub before marking ready.
Create a pull request for the current branch. Defaults to draft so the author can review on GitHub before marking ready.
Core principle: Draft by default. The author controls when a PR is ready for review.
# Verify gh CLI is available and authenticated
command -v gh >/dev/null 2>&1 || echo "GitHub CLI (gh) not installed"
gh auth status 2>/dev/null || echo "Not authenticated with gh"
# Detect default branch
base=$(git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's@^refs/remotes/origin/@@')
base=${base:-main}
git log "origin/$base..HEAD" --oneline
# Verify branch is pushed
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name @{u} 2>/dev/null
If branch is not pushed:
git push -u origin $(git branch --show-current)
# Check common template locations
ls .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md 2>/dev/null
ls .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/ 2>/dev/null
ls docs/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md 2>/dev/null
ls PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md 2>/dev/null
If template exists: read it, fill out all sections from diff and commit history.
If no template: examine recent merged PRs for conventions (gh pr list --state merged --limit 5).
Default (draft):
gh pr create --draft --title "<title>" --body "<body>"
If your human partner explicitly requests "ready for review":
gh pr create --title "<title>" --body "<body>"

In these cases, omit the --draft flag.
