Ship PR

Create a pull request. Enforce project standards before anything leaves the branch.

Prerequisites

Fail immediately with an explicit error if any check fails.

1. gh installed: command -v gh
2. gh authenticated: gh auth status
3. Inside a git repo: git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree

Step 1 -- Inspect

Run in parallel:

• git status, git diff --staged, git diff -- working tree state
• git log --oneline -10 -- recent history
• git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD -- current branch
• git rev-parse --abbrev-ref @{upstream} 2>/dev/null || echo "no-upstream" -- tracking

Base branch: use $ARGUMENTS if provided, else main. Verify with git rev-parse --verify origin/<base>. Compute full diff: git diff origin/<base>...HEAD.

Step 2 -- Standards Review (BLOCKING GATE)

This step is mandatory. It cannot be skipped silently.

Read every applicable conventions file:

• ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (user global)
• CLAUDE.md in repo root (project)
• .claude/CLAUDE.md in repo root (alternate location)
• AGENTS.md in repo root (if present)

Extract all actionable conventions. Review the full diff against every convention.

If discrepancies are found: STOP. Present a findings table:

| File | Standard | Issue | Fix |
|------|----------|-------|-----|
| src/foo.ts | Commit msg format | Missing conventional prefix | Amend to "feat: ..." |
| lib/bar.go | No fmt errors | gofmt diff detected | Run gofmt -w lib/bar.go |

Offer exactly these options:

1. Fix all -- apply every fix, re-run review
2. Fix some -- user picks which fixes to apply
3. Proceed anyway -- create PR with known discrepancies
4. Discuss -- explain findings before deciding

Do NOT proceed until the user confirms a path forward.

If no discrepancies: report "Standards review: all clear" and continue.

Step 3 -- Branch

If on main or master: do NOT commit to the default branch. Ask user for a branch name with conventional prefix (feat/, fix/, chore/, refactor/, docs/, test/). Create with git checkout -b <prefix>/<name>.

If already on a feature branch, continue on it.

Step 4 -- Stage and Commit

Stage files using explicit paths. Never use git add -A or git add ..

If nothing to commit, skip this step.

Write a conventional commit via HEREDOC:

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
type: short description
EOF
)"

Follow commit conventions from CLAUDE.md. Default: type: short description.

Step 5 -- Push

git push -u origin <branch>

If remote is already current, skip and report.

Step 6 -- Create PR

Read references/templates.md. Select the smallest tier that fits:

• Small: docs-only, config tweaks, single-file low-risk
• Standard: behavior changes, multi-file, new features
• Complex: schema migrations, auth changes, breaking changes

Create with gh pr create and HEREDOC body:

gh pr create --base <base> --title "<title>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
<filled template>
EOF
)"

Title under 70 characters. Detail goes in the body.

Step 7 -- Report

Print the PR URL. Nothing else.

Idempotency

Before creating, check for an existing PR:

gh pr list --head <branch> --json url --jq '.[0].url'

If a PR exists: push new commits to update, report existing URL. Do not create a duplicate.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS -- base branch for the PR. Default: main.
