Why does it enforce the -u flag for pushing branches?

It enforces the best practice of setting the upstream tracking relationship during the first push to simplify future pulls and pushes for that specific branch.

Can it analyze changes between specific branches?

Yes, it specifically uses diffing between the base branch and HEAD to provide a complete picture of all changes since the branch diverged.

What is the primary benefit of the PR Conventions skill?

It ensures that pull requests are based on the entire history of a branch, preventing the AI from missing context found in earlier commits during the summary process.

Does this skill work with any Git provider?

Yes, it uses standard Git CLI commands and Markdown formatting, making it compatible with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and other platforms.

How does it help with testing documentation?

The skill automatically generates a mandatory Test Plan section with a checklist for unit, integration, manual, and edge-case testing for every PR.
