What it does

When installed, this skill tells an AI agent how to prepare a pull request for the Gentle AI project. Before drafting one, the agent must check that a linked issue is approved, name the branch using the required pattern (for example feat/ or fix/), and fill in the project's PR template, including the labels and checklist. It also stops the agent from committing, pushing, creating, or merging a PR on its own, leaving those steps to a human.

Great for

  • Contributors to the Gentle AI repository who need to open a compliant pull request
  • Maintainers who want an AI assistant to follow the project's issue-first and labelling rules

Skip it if

  • Projects other than Gentle AI, since the issue, label, and CI rules are specific to that repository
  • Anyone expecting the agent to push or merge automatically, because the skill deliberately requires a human to do those steps

Try asking

  • “Help me open a PR for my change to the installer, linked to issue 42”
  • “Prepare a branch name and PR body for my docs fix”
  • “Check whether my PR has the right type label and issue reference before I submit”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Approve the linked issue and confirm the closing or non-closing reference before asking the agent to draft the PR
  • Give explicit permission for each remote read or write action, since the skill requires it before touching the repository host
  • Run the local tests (go test, gofmtcheck) yourself and report results so the checklist is only ticked on real evidence
