/pr-strategy

View or reset the PR/MR description strategy preference for the current project.

Steps

1. Detect project name. Run:

   basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
   

   Store the result as <project> for use in all subsequent steps.

2. Recall existing preference from Hindsight. Use the recall tool:

   recall("<project>: PR description strategy", tags=["pr-strategy"])
   

3. If a strategy is found: Display the current strategy to the user and ask via AskUserQuestion:

   • Keep — Leave the current preference as-is (stop here)
   • Change — Pick a new strategy (continue to step 4)
   • Clear — Remove the preference entirely by calling the Hindsight delete_memory tool on the matched memory, confirm deletion, and stop

4. If "Change" was chosen, or no existing strategy was found: Present the strategy selector via AskUserQuestion with these options:

   • Auto-generate (Recommended) — Use the default devflow template (Summary / Changes / Testing / Ticket / Checklist), filled from diff analysis
   • Use repo template — Search the codebase for PR/MR templates at standard locations, parse sections, fill from diff
   • Custom path — User specifies a template file path to use

5. If "Use repo template" is chosen: Search these locations in order using the Glob tool:

   1. .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
   2. .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/*.md
   3. .gitlab/merge_request_templates/*.md
   4. PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md (repo root)
   5. docs/pull_request_template.md

   If multiple templates are found, present them via AskUserQuestion and let the user pick one. If none are found, inform the user and fall back to asking for a custom path or auto-generate.

6. If "Custom path" is chosen: Ask the user for the file path via AskUserQuestion. Verify the file exists by reading it. If it does not exist, report the error and ask again.

7. Retain the choice in Hindsight. Use retain with the appropriate value:

   • For auto-generate: retain("<project>: PR description strategy = auto-generate", tags=["pr-strategy", "<project>"])
   • For repo-template with a specific file: retain("<project>: PR description strategy = repo-template:<relative-path>", tags=["pr-strategy", "<project>"])
   • For custom: retain("<project>: PR description strategy = custom:<path>", tags=["pr-strategy", "<project>"])

   If an old memory was found in step 2, delete it first with the Hindsight delete_memory tool before retaining the new one.

8. Confirm the saved preference to the user. State which strategy was stored and for which project.
