What tools are required to use this skill?

This skill requires the GitHub CLI (gh) and Git to be installed and authenticated on your system to perform PR creation, commenting, and branch management.

How does it handle updates to existing draft PRs?

Instead of overwriting the original description, the skill uses specialized comment templates (Feature, Bug Fix, or General Update) to track the evolution of the PR and maintain a clear history of changes.

Does the skill support conventional commit formats?

Yes, it enforces conventional commit messages (feat, fix, refactor, etc.) to ensure that the project history remains clean and standardized.

Does this skill perform automated code reviews?

No, this skill is specifically focused on the draft PR management and documentation workflow. It is designed to streamline work-in-progress documentation without performing or triggering reviews until the PR is marked as ready.
