GitHub Publish Changes

Use this skill only when the user explicitly wants local changes committed, pushed, or opened as a Pull Request.

Workflow

  1. Inspect git status -sb, the complete diff, the current branch, and remotes.
  2. Identify exactly which changes belong to this task. In a mixed worktree, never stage unrelated files and never default to git add -A without confirmed scope.
  3. If currently on the default branch, create an agent/<short-description> branch. Otherwise keep the intended feature branch.
  4. Stage explicit paths and review the staged diff.
  5. Run the most relevant checks if they have not already passed.
  6. Commit with a short message describing the complete scoped diff.
  7. Push the current branch with upstream tracking.
  8. Resolve the GitHub owner, repo, remote default branch, and pushed head branch.
  9. Call create-pull-request through the GitHub service. Keep draft true unless the user explicitly requests a ready-for-review PR.
  10. Report the branch, commit, PR URL, test results, and any remaining review risk.

Safety

  • Do not push when the requested scope is unclear.
  • Do not force-push, delete a branch, merge, or rewrite history unless explicitly requested.
  • Do not include credentials, local caches, generated secrets, or unrelated user changes.
  • Creating the PR is a GitHub write action and must pass iPolloWork's confirmation gate.
