git-commit-submit-pr-and-verify_skill

Overview

This skill automates creating conventional commits for the current changes, submits the current branch as a pull request, and verifies the PR is approved and ready to merge. It sets the PR to auto-merge, runs through pre-commit and CI checks, and iterates on failures until all checks and review comments are resolved. The goal is a reproducible, policy-compliant PR flow that reduces manual steps and ensures quality gates are met.

How this skill works

You run the underlying git-commit-and-submit-pr command with any required arguments to produce a conventional commit and open a pull request with auto-merge enabled. The skill detects and fixes or reports pre-commit/pre-push issues, watches the PR build and status checks, and follows review activity. If checks fail or reviewers request changes, it prompts or applies fixes, updates the branch, and re-runs validation until the PR is approved and mergeable.

When to use it

• You have local changes that should follow conventional commit standards and be submitted for code review.
• You want the pull request opened with auto-merge enabled to reduce manual merge work after approval.
• You need automated handling of pre-commit hooks, linters, or test failures before creating the PR.
• You are enforcing review and CI gates and want the skill to monitor and verify approval and passing checks.
• You prefer an iterative workflow where the skill applies fixes and re-validates until the PR is clean.

Best practices

• Ensure working tree is clean and tests run locally before invoking the skill to minimize iterations.
• Provide clear, conventional-commit style messages to improve changelog and review clarity.
• Address lint and unit-test failures locally when possible; use the skill to catch CI-only issues.
• Keep PRs focused and small so automated fixes and reviewer feedback are easier to manage.
• Review any automated changes the skill applies before final approval to maintain code quality.

Example use cases

• Add a bugfix branch, run the skill to create a conventional commit, submit a PR, and monitor until merge.
• Implement a small feature, let the skill enforce commit style, and enable auto-merge after approvals.
• Run the skill in a CI-assisted workflow to detect and fix pre-push hooks, then re-run checks automatically.
• Use it when multiple reviewers are required: the skill watches approvals and ensures all checks pass before merging.
