# Check for existing PR
gh pr list --head $(git branch --show-current)

)"

Title Generation

Use first commit subject from branch, or summarize if multiple commits:

# Single commit - use subject
git log origin/main..HEAD --format='%s' | head -1

# Multiple commits - summarize changes
git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline

Body Style

Bullets allowed in PR body (unlike commit messages):

Summary section lists changes
Test plan uses checkboxes

Keep concise. One line per logical change.

Draft PRs

Use --draft when:

Work in progress
User requests draft
Waiting for CI setup

gh pr create --draft --title "$TITLE" --body "$BODY"

Base Branch

Detect automatically:

gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name'

Override with --base:

gh pr create --base develop --title "$TITLE" --body "$BODY"

Safety

Verify branch is not main/master before creating
Check for existing PR to avoid duplicates
Never create PR from main to main
