What is the main benefit of using prepare-pr?

It automates the checklist of tasks needed before merging, ensuring all review findings are fixed and gates pass without manual intervention.

Does this skill support safe git pushes?

Yes, it uses --force-with-lease and pre-push remote SHA verification to ensure you never overwrite remote changes unexpectedly.

Does it automatically merge the PR?

No, this skill is strictly for preparing the head branch. A separate merge-pr command is typically used for the final merge or squash.

How does it handle failed pushes due to remote changes?

It includes a built-in retry path that performs an automatic rebase, reruns validation gates, and attempts the push again if a lease failure occurs.

Can I use this without a previous review step?

This skill specifically requires a structured review.json artifact, which is typically generated by a preceding review-pr workflow step.
