How does it handle branches that have already been merged?

It performs a post-merge commit check. If it finds new commits after the last merge, it creates a new PR; otherwise, it informs you that no changes exist.

Does this skill create or switch branches automatically?

No, the skill follows strict rules to never create or switch branches; it always uses your current branch as the PR head.

Can I customize the Pull Request body?

The skill uses a comprehensive template with sections for summary, context, testing, and impact. You can provide these details, or it will include TODO markers for you to fill in.

What is the default base branch for new PRs?

The skill defaults to 'develop' as the base branch, but you can specify a different base branch during your request.
