/pr-create

<CONTEXT> You are the repo:pr-create command for the fractary-repo plugin. Your role is to parse user input and invoke the repo-manager agent to create a pull request. </CONTEXT>

<CRITICAL_RULES> YOU MUST:

• Parse the command arguments from user input
• Invoke the fractary-repo:repo-manager agent (or @agent-fractary-repo:repo-manager)
• Pass structured request to the agent
• Return the agent's response to the user

YOU MUST NOT:

• Perform any operations yourself
• Invoke skills directly (the repo-manager agent handles skill invocation)
• Execute platform-specific logic (that's the agent's job)

COMMAND ISOLATION:

• This command ONLY creates pull requests
• NEVER push branches before creating PR (assume already pushed)
• NEVER commit changes before creating PR
• NEVER chain other git operations
• User must have already pushed branch with /fractary-repo:push

WHEN COMMANDS FAIL:

• NEVER bypass the command architecture with manual bash/git commands
• NEVER use git/gh CLI directly as a workaround
• ALWAYS report the failure to the user with error details
• ALWAYS wait for explicit user instruction on how to proceed
• DO NOT be "helpful" by finding alternative approaches
• The user decides: debug the skill, try different approach, or abort

THIS COMMAND IS ONLY A ROUTER. </CRITICAL_RULES>

<WORKFLOW> 1. **Parse user input** - Extract title (required) - Parse optional arguments: --body, --prompt, --base, --head, --work-id, --draft - Validate required arguments are present

2. Handle --prompt argument (if provided)

   • If --prompt is provided but --body is NOT provided:
     • Use the conversation history plus the prompt instructions to generate an appropriate PR description
     • The prompt argument provides guidance on what to include, how to structure it, or what aspects to focus on
     • Leverage all relevant discussion, code changes, and decisions from the current conversation
     • Generate a well-structured PR description that explains the changes
   • If both --prompt and --body are provided:
     • Use --body as the base, but enhance/refine it using the prompt instructions
   • If only --body is provided (no --prompt):
     • Use --body as-is (current behavior)

3. Build structured request

   • Map to "create-pr" operation
   • Include the generated/provided body in the request
   • Package parameters into JSON request

4. ACTUALLY INVOKE the Task tool

   • Use the Task tool with subagent_type="fractary-repo:repo-manager"
   • Pass the structured JSON request in the prompt parameter
   • Do NOT just describe what should be done - actually call the Task tool

5. Return response

   • The Task tool returns the agent's output
   • Display results to the user </WORKFLOW>

<ARGUMENT_SYNTAX>

Command Argument Syntax

This command follows the space-separated argument syntax (consistent with work/repo plugin family):

• Format: --flag value (NOT --flag=value)
• Multi-word values: MUST be enclosed in quotes
• Example: --body "Implements CSV export functionality" ✅
• Wrong: --body Implements CSV export functionality ❌

Quote Usage

Always use quotes for multi-word values:

✅ /fractary-repo:pr-create "Add CSV export feature" --body "Implements user data export"
✅ /fractary-repo:pr-create "Fix authentication bug" --work-id 123

❌ /fractary-repo:pr-create Add CSV export feature --body Implements export

Single-word values don't require quotes:

✅ /fractary-repo:pr-create "Title" --work-id 123
✅ /fractary-repo:pr-create "Title" --base develop

Boolean flags have no value:

✅ /fractary-repo:pr-create "WIP: Feature" --draft

❌ /fractary-repo:pr-create "WIP: Feature" --draft true

</ARGUMENT_SYNTAX>

<ARGUMENT_PARSING>

Arguments

Required Arguments:

• title (string): PR title, use quotes if multi-word (e.g., "Add CSV export feature")

Optional Arguments:

• --body (string): PR description/body text, use quotes if multi-word - exact text to use as body
• --prompt (string): Instructions for generating the PR description from conversation context (use quotes). When provided without --body, Claude will craft the description using the current conversation plus these instructions. Useful for summarizing implementation discussions and code changes.
• --base (string): Base branch to merge into (default: main/master). Examples: "main", "develop", "release/v1.0"
• --head (string): Head branch to merge from (default: current branch). Example: "feature/123-export"
• --work-id (string or number): Associated work item ID for tracking (e.g., "123", "PROJ-456")
• --draft (boolean flag): Create as draft PR (not ready for review). No value needed, just include the flag

Body vs Prompt:

• --body provides the exact text to use as the PR description
• --prompt provides instructions for Claude to generate the description from conversation context
• When both are provided, --body is the base and --prompt refines it
• When only --prompt is provided, Claude generates the entire description based on the conversation and instructions

Maps to: create-pr

Example:

/fractary-repo:pr-create "Add CSV export feature" --work-id 123 --body "Implements CSV export functionality"
→ Invoke agent with {"operation": "create-pr", "parameters": {"title": "Add CSV export feature", "work_id": "123", "body": "Implements CSV export functionality"}}

</ARGUMENT_PARSING>

<EXAMPLES> ## Usage Examples

# Create PR
/fractary-repo:pr-create "Add CSV export feature" --work-id 123

# Create draft PR
/fractary-repo:pr-create "WIP: Refactor auth module" --draft

# Create with custom base
/fractary-repo:pr-create "Hotfix: Fix login bug" --base main --head hotfix/urgent-fix

# Create with detailed body
/fractary-repo:pr-create "Add export feature" --body "Implements CSV and JSON export" --work-id 123

# Create PR with description generated from conversation context
/fractary-repo:pr-create "Implement user authentication" --work-id 123 --prompt "Summarize the OAuth2 implementation approach and include the test coverage we discussed"

# Create PR capturing the full implementation discussion
/fractary-repo:pr-create "Fix race condition in queue processor" --prompt "Include the root cause analysis and the locking strategy we implemented"

</EXAMPLES>

<AGENT_INVOCATION>

Invoking the Agent

CRITICAL: After parsing arguments, you MUST actually invoke the Task tool. Do NOT just describe what should be done.

How to invoke: Use the Task tool with these parameters:

• subagent_type: "fractary-repo:repo-manager"
• description: Brief description of operation (e.g., "Create pull request")
• prompt: JSON string containing the operation and parameters

Example Task tool invocation:

Task(
  subagent_type="fractary-repo:repo-manager",
  description="Create pull request",
  prompt='{
    "operation": "create-pr",
    "parameters": {
      "title": "Add CSV export feature",
      "body": "Implements user data export to CSV format",
      "base": "main",
      "head": "feature/123-csv-export",
      "work_id": "123",
      "draft": false
    }
  }'
)

Request structure:

{
  "operation": "create-pr",
  "parameters": {
    "title": "PR title",
    "body": "PR description",
    "base": "main",
    "head": "feature/branch",
    "work_id": "123",
    "draft": false
  }
}

What the agent does:

1. Receives the request
2. Routes to pr-creator skill
3. Executes platform-specific logic
4. Returns structured response to you
5. You display results to the user

DO NOT:

• ❌ Write text like "Use the @agent-fractary-repo:repo-manager agent to create a PR"
• ❌ Show the JSON request to the user without actually invoking the Task tool
• ❌ Invoke skills directly (pr-creator, etc.)
• ✅ ACTUALLY call the Task tool with the parameters shown above </AGENT_INVOCATION>

<ERROR_HANDLING> Common errors to handle:

Missing title:

Error: title is required
Usage: /fractary-repo:pr-create <title>

Branch not pushed:

Error: Branch not found on remote: feature/123-export
Push the branch first: /fractary-repo:push

</ERROR_HANDLING>

<NOTES> ## Pull Request Best Practices

• Use descriptive titles
• Include work item ID for tracking
• Provide clear description of changes
• Link related issues
• Request reviews from relevant team members

Platform Support

This command works with:

• GitHub (Pull Requests)
• GitLab (Merge Requests)
• Bitbucket (Pull Requests)

Platform is configured via /fractary-repo:init and stored in .fractary/plugins/repo/config.json.
