Create PR
A skill for creating pull requests with automatic bilingual documentation updates. This skill ensures that both English and Chinese documentation stay in sync when code changes are submitted.
When This Skill Activates
This skill activates when you:
- Ask to create a pull request or PR
- Say "submit my changes" or "push and create PR"
- Mention "make a PR" or "open a pull request"
- Want to submit code for review
PR Creation Workflow
Step 1: Analyze Changes
Examine all changes in the current branch:
git status
git diff
git log --oneline main..HEAD
Identify:
- Modified files: What was changed?
- New files: What was added?
- Deleted files: What was removed?
- Impact area: Which skills or features are affected?
Step 2: Determine Documentation Updates
Check for Skill Changes
First, detect if any skills were changed:
# Check if skills/ directory has changes
git diff --name-only main..HEAD | grep "^skills/"
Decision Matrix
Change Type
Documentation Action
New skill added
Add to skills table in both EN and CN README
Skill description changed
Update description in skills table
Skill removed
Remove from skills table
Skill hooks changed
Update Auto-Trigger column in skills table
Internal skill logic only
Skip README update
Bug fix with no user impact
Skip README update
Auto-Trigger Changes Require Update
If a skill's metadata.hooks front matter was modified, the Auto-Trigger column in the Skills Catalog must be updated:
# Check if hooks were modified
git diff main..HEAD -- skills/*/SKILL.md | grep -E "^\+.*metadata:|^\+.*hooks:|^\+.*trigger:"
If hooks changed → Update README.md and README.zh-CN.md Auto-Trigger column.
Step 3: Draft Commit Message
Use the commit-helper format:
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<body>
<footer>
Types:
feat: New skill or feature
fix: Bug fix or correction
docs: Documentation only changes
refactor: Code refactoring
chore: Maintenance tasks
Step 4: Create the Pull Request
Run the following sequence:
# 1. Stage and commit changes
git add .
git commit -m "commit message"
# 2. Push to remote
git push -u origin <branch-name>
# 3: Create PR using gh CLI
gh pr create \
--title "PR title" \
--body "PR description"
Step 5: Update Documentation (If Required)
After creating the PR, update both README files:
README.md (English):
- Add new skills to appropriate category table
- Update project structure if needed
- Keep language switch link at top
README.zh-CN.md (Chinese):
- Mirror all English changes
- Translate skill descriptions
- Maintain same structure and formatting
Step 6: Update Changelog (Optional)
For significant changes, add to CHANGELOG.md:
## [Version] - YYYY-MM-DD
### Added
- New skill: skill-name
### Fixed
- Fixed issue in skill-name
### Changed
- Updated skill-name with new features
Documentation Update Guidelines
Skills Catalog Update Template
When adding or modifying skills, use this format for the Skills Catalog:
English (README.md):
### Category Name
| Skill | Description | Auto-Trigger |
|-------|-------------|--------------|
| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | Brief description | Manual / Auto / Background / (keyword: "...") |
Chinese (README.zh-CN.md):
### 类别名称
| 技能 | 描述 | 自动触发 |
|------|------|----------|
| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | 简短描述 | 手动 / 自动 / 后台 / (关键词:"...") |
Auto-Trigger Column Values
Value
Meaning
Example
Manual
User must invoke
Most development skills
Auto
Triggers automatically after any skill
session-logger
Background
Runs non-blocking after related skill
self-improving-agent
After skill updates
Only triggers when skills are modified
create-pr
(keyword: "...")
Activates on specific keyword
prd-planner (keyword: "PRD")
When to Update README
Always update when:
- Adding a new skill
- Removing a skill
- Changing skill names or descriptions
- Restructuring the skills directory
Consider updating when:
- Adding significant features to existing skills
- Changing installation instructions
- Modifying project structure
Skip updating when:
- Internal code refactoring with no user impact
- Minor typo fixes
- Test file changes
Bilingual Update Format
When adding a new skill to the skills table:
English (README.md):
| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | Brief skill description |
Chinese (README.zh-CN.md):
| **[skill-name](./skills/skill-name/)** | 技能简短描述 |
Language Switch Link
Both README files must have the language switch at the top:
README.md:
English | [简体中文](./README.zh-CN.md)
README.zh-CN.md:
[English](./README.md) | 简体中文

Common Scenarios
Scenario 1: Adding a New Skill
# 1. Create skill files
mkdir -p skills/new-skill
touch skills/new-skill/SKILL.md
touch skills/new-skill/README.md
# 2. Create symlink
ln -s ~/path/to/agent-playbook/skills/new-skill/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/new-skill.md
# 3. Update README.md (add to skills table)
# 4. Update README.zh-CN.md (add to skills table with translation)
# 5. Commit and push
git add skills/new-skill/ README.md README.zh-CN.md
git commit -m "feat: add new-skill for ..."
git push -u origin feature/add-new-skill
# 6. Create PR
gh pr create --title "feat: add new-skill" --body "..."
Scenario 2: Modifying an Existing Skill
# 1. Make changes to skill
vim skills/existing-skill/SKILL.md
# 2. Check if description changed
git diff skills/existing-skill/SKILL.md
# 3. If description changed, update README files
# 4. Commit, push, create PR
Scenario 3: Bug Fix Only
# 1. Fix the bug
vim skills/some-skill/SKILL.md
# 2. Commit and push (no README update needed)
git add skills/some-skill/SKILL.md
git commit -m "fix: correct typo in some-skill"
git push
# 3. Create PR
gh pr create --title "fix: correct typo in some-skill"
