Do I need the GitHub CLI (gh) installed?

Yes, this skill relies on the GitHub CLI to perform actions like creating PRs, checking CI status, and monitoring review verdicts.

What happens if a reviewer requests changes?

The skill identifies 'NEEDS WORK' or 'FAIL' verdicts as blockers, preventing any merge actions until all high-priority feedback is resolved.

How does it handle failing CI checks?

The workflow includes a dedicated step to watch PR checks; if any CI task fails, it instructs the user to address the issues before proceeding.

Which development environments are supported?

The workflow currently includes pre-configured commands for Node.js (npm) and Go environments, though the logic can be applied to any stack.

Does this skill merge code automatically?

No, the skill is designed with safety gates that explicitly forbid merging without verified user approval and a passing review status.

Collaboration Tools

Standardizes and automates the GitHub pull request lifecycle from local validation to final merge.

About

The pr-workflow skill provides a structured framework for managing the complete pull request lifecycle within Claude Code, ensuring all code changes undergo rigorous quality checks and formal approval processes. It integrates directly with the GitHub CLI to automate PR creation, monitor CI/CD statuses, and enforce strict merge rules, preventing accidental pushes to main branches. By implementing standardized templates and conventional commit patterns, it helps teams maintain high repository standards and clear documentation for every change.

Key Features

Standardized PR creation with conventional commit titles and detailed templates
Real-time monitoring of CI/CD checks via GitHub CLI integration
Multi-tier review enforcement including security and UI-specific gates
1 GitHub stars
Automated pre-PR validation using npm or Go test and lint suites
Safety-first merge logic that requires verified approvals and clean CI states

Use Cases

Enforcing consistent PR descriptions and issue labeling across a distributed engineering team
Automating the end-to-end lifecycle of a feature branch from local linting to squash-merging
Managing complex code reviews that require specific sign-offs from security or mobile leads
