Do I need the GitHub CLI installed to use this skill?

Yes, this skill relies on the 'gh' CLI being installed and authenticated on your local machine to interact with GitHub repositories.

Can I customize the content of the Pull Request?

Absolutely. The skill uses a template for the PR body and will prompt you for specific details like testing steps, risks, and deployment notes to ensure high-quality documentation.

What happens if I try to create a PR for a branch that was already merged?

The skill performs a critical post-merge check. If it finds new commits after the merge, it creates a new PR; if no new changes are found, it prevents the creation of an empty PR.

Does this skill create new branches automatically?

No, the GitHub PR Manager skill follows a strict same-branch rule and will only operate on your current branch to avoid accidental context switching.
