Can I use this skill while working on the main branch?

The skill includes a safety guard that stops you if you are on the main or master branch, prompting you to create a feature branch first to follow best practices.

Will it push my changes automatically?

Yes, it handles the commit and push process, though it will ask for confirmation if a force push is detected as necessary.

Does it support GitHub PR templates?

Yes, the skill automatically checks for a .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md file and uses it to format the body of your pull request.

How does it determine the target branch for the PR?

It follows a priority order starting with user arguments, followed by the repository's default branch metadata, common patterns like 'develop', and finally asking the user if it's still unclear.

The new-pr skill optimizes the end-to-end development workflow for Claude Code users by automating the transition from local changes to a submitted pull request.
