Create Pull/Merge Request

Finalize development work once coding and review are done: run pre-flight checks, clean up, rebase, and open a PR/MR — or, if that's not possible, land the work with a clean conventional-commit history and a written summary instead.

Core principle: archive specs → verify → clean → rebase → verify again → ship. Never open a PR/MR with failing tests, debug artifacts, unresolved conflicts, or an unarchived delta spec. Avoid redundant test runs — if a prior coding step already verified tests at the current commit, trust that result.

This is the last step of a development workflow. It assumes implementation is complete (e.g., via the ss-coding skill or manual work) and review is done (e.g., via the ss-code-review skill or manual review), with all review issues addressed.

Inputs

• Target branch (optional — defaults to the remote's detected default branch).
• --draft to open the PR/MR as a draft.
• Delivery mode, if this skill is running standalone rather than as part of a larger workflow: full (the normal case — this skill actually opens a PR/MR) or lite (the calling workflow already decided to skip PR creation and land changes locally; if so, skip straight to "Local fallback" below).
