How does it determine what needs updating?

The skill analyzes commits pushed after the 'lastEditedAt' timestamp of the PR to identify and describe only the new work added since the last description update.

Does it overwrite my previous manual PR notes?

It rewrites the PR body to reflect the current state of the changes, prioritizing the final intended result over the history of incremental review comments.

Can I use this on branches other than main?

Yes, it includes branch validation and uses specialized worktree scripts to handle updates on any specified target branch.

Does this skill work with GitLab?

Yes, it fully supports both GitHub Pull Requests via the gh CLI and GitLab Merge Requests via the glab CLI.

Collaboration Tools

Synchronizes pull request and merge request descriptions with the latest code changes to ensure documentation matches current implementation.

This skill automates the maintenance of pull request (PR) and merge request (MR) descriptions by analyzing commits made since the last update. Instead of manually editing documentation as features evolve, the skill identifies user-facing changes and updates the body content on GitHub or GitLab using a standardized format. It focuses on documenting the final state of the code rather than the development journey, ensuring that reviewers and stakeholders always have an accurate, up-to-date overview of what will be merged into the codebase.
