Create Pull Request

Create a pull request following the project's PR conventions.

@docs/pull-request-guidelines.md

Steps

IMPORTANT: Follow ALL steps in order. Do not skip any step, even if the PR seems simple.

1. Verify branch. Confirm you are NOT on trunk. If on trunk, stop and ask the user to create a feature branch first.

2. Check for uncommitted changes. Run git status. If there are uncommitted changes, stop and ask the user whether to commit them first.

3. Analyze the diff. Run git diff trunk...HEAD to understand ALL changes that will be in the PR. Also run git log --oneline trunk..HEAD to see all commits.

4. Check diff size. Count non-test lines changed. If the diff is very large, mention it to the user.

5. Review changes. Scan for:

   • Architecture compliance (MVVM layers, Hilt DI, Compose patterns)
   • Missing tests for new logic
   • Any FIXME, !!, wildcard imports, or other violations
   • Whether RELEASE-NOTES.txt needs updating (user-facing changes)

6. Check RELEASE-NOTES.txt. If changes are user-facing, remind the user to update RELEASE-NOTES.txt. Use [Internal] for non-user-facing changes.

7. Push the branch. Run git push -u origin <branch-name>.

8. Create the PR. Read .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md and use it as the body. Strip the HTML comments and fill in each section, following the conventions from the guidelines doc above:

   • Description: start with Fixes WOOMOB-XYZ on its own line, then a short summary of what changed and why.
     • Keep it to what a reviewer needs: what was wrong, what this changes, and anything they can't see in the diff. A couple of sentences of plain prose is usually right — no section headers beyond the template's. If the PR fixes several distinct things, one line each is fine.
     • The conversation that produced the PR is not the PR. Don't retell the investigation — no debugging path, no narrative of how you got there, no measurements unless the measurement is the reason for the change.
     • Do pre-empt what a reviewer would actually raise: a decision they'd disagree with, or an obvious alternative they'd ask "why not X?" about. A sentence or a clause each, in prose. The bar is "they'd bring this up in review", not "this was interesting to figure out". Most PRs have nothing that clears it; if you end up with a list, you're padding.
     • Write so a reviewer who never saw this branch can follow it — carry the context, not the derivation.
     • References the reviewer can follow (a Linear issue, a linked Slack thread, a prior PR) are fine. What's not fine is referencing things the reviewer has no access to: the Claude session, findings-by-number from a private review ("HIGH-#2"), or severity labels from a one-off discussion. If you write "as discussed," make sure "discussed" is a link the reviewer can open.
   • Test Steps: numbered manual verification steps — a reviewer tapping through the app or reproducing a scenario. Do NOT include "run the unit tests" (or any ./gradlew test* invocation) as a step — CI already runs them, so they add noise without helping the reviewer.
   • Images/gif: include if applicable, otherwise N/A.
   • Keep the release-notes checkbox line as-is.

   Pass the filled template via a HEREDOC:

   gh pr create --draft --title "[WOOMOB-XYZ] <concise title>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
   <filled template content here>
   EOF
   )"
   

9. Add labels. Add labels using gh pr edit <number> --add-label "<label>". Infer labels from the diff and branch name using the categories in the guidelines. If unsure about feature label, ask the user.

10. Set milestone. Find the closest open milestone and assign it:

    • List open milestones (single-quote the URL to prevent shell & interpretation):

      gh api 'repos/{owner}/{repo}/milestones?state=open&sort=due_on&direction=asc'
      

    • Pick the one with the earliest due_on date that is still in the future
    • Assign it: gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{number} -X PATCH -F milestone={milestone_number}
    • If the milestone due date is less than 1 day away, warn the user (e.g., "Heads up: milestone X closes in <N hours> — let me know if you'd prefer a different one.")

11. Report the PR URL to the user.

Image Formatting in PR Body

• Before/after pair: Use a comparison table with | Before | After | headers
• Multiple images: Use a table with appropriate column headers
• Single image or video: Embed directly (e.g., ![Screenshot](url-or-path))
• Constrain image width to 400px using HTML: <img src="url" width="400" />
• If no images provided, use "N/A"

Troubleshooting

If gh pr edit fails with a GraphQL Projects (classic) error, fall back to the REST API:

gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number} -X PATCH -f body='...'
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number} -X PATCH -f title='...'
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{number}/labels -X POST --input - <<< '{"labels":["label1","label2"]}'
