Yeet

What it does

The Yeet skill assists users with creating and submitting pull requests (PRs) on GitHub. It automates several steps in the process, including branch creation, staging changes, committing code, pushing to a remote repository, and drafting a PR. The skill guides users through these actions while enforcing specific naming conventions for branches, commits, and PR titles.

When to use it

• When you need to create a new branch and submit a pull request on GitHub.
• To streamline the process of committing changes and pushing them to a remote repository.
• When adhering to established branching and commit message conventions is important.
• For quickly drafting a pull request with an initial description that can be refined later.

Key capabilities

• Branch creation using git checkout -b "{description}".
• Staging all changes with git add -A ..
• Commit creation with terse descriptions via git commit -m "{description}".
• Pushing to a remote repository with tracking: git push -u origin $(git branch --show-current).
• Draft pull request creation using the GitHub CLI (gh pr create).
• Automated PR title and body filling.

Example prompts

Due to its nature as a coding assistant, direct prompting isn't applicable. Instead, users interact with it through Git commands that are executed within the agent’s workflow. The skill responds to actions initiated by those commands.

Tips & gotchas

• Prerequisites: This skill requires the GitHub CLI (gh) to be installed and authenticated. Ensure gh --version returns a version number, and run gh auth status to verify authentication before use.
• The skill enforces specific naming conventions for branches, commits, and PR titles; adherence is required for successful operation.
• PR descriptions must include detailed prose covering the issue, cause, effect on users, root cause, fix, and validation tests.
