ring:opening-pull-requests

Open a GitHub Pull Request against the correct base branch, with a title that will pass scope validation and a body that fills the repo's PR template. Verifies the base after creation and corrects it automatically if GitHub defaulted to the wrong target.

⛔ HARD STOP — DO NOT CALL gh pr create BEFORE COMPLETING STEPS 1–6

Skipping detection steps is how PRs end up targeting main when the repo expects develop, or how PRs fail validation due to a missing or invalid scope. MUST complete every step in order.

Step 1 — Detect Base Branch

NEVER assume the base. Run all three probes first, then apply the precedence rules below.

Probes (run in parallel)

# Probe A — GitHub API default
gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name'
# Fallback if gh unavailable: git remote show origin | grep 'HEAD branch' | awk '{print $NF}'
