GitHub Publish Changes

Overview

Use this skill only when the user explicitly wants the full publish flow from the local checkout: branch setup if needed, staging, commit, push, and opening a pull request.

This workflow is hybrid:

• Use local git for branch creation, staging, commit, and push.
• Prefer the GitHub app from this plugin for pull request creation after the branch is on the remote.
• Use gh as a fallback for current-branch PR discovery, auth checks, or PR creation when the connector path cannot infer the repository or head branch cleanly.

Prerequisites

• Require GitHub CLI gh. Check gh --version. If missing, ask the user to install gh and stop.
• Require authenticated gh session. Run gh auth status. If not authenticated, ask the user to run gh auth login (and re-run gh auth status) before continuing.
• Require a local git repository with a clean understanding of which changes belong in the PR.

Naming conventions

• Branch: codex/{description} when starting from main/master/default.
• Commit: {description} (terse).
• PR title: [codex] {description} summarizing the full diff.

Workflow

1. Confirm intended scope.
   • Run git status -sb and inspect the diff before staging.
   • If the working tree contains unrelated changes, do not default to git add -A. Ask the user which files belong in the PR.
2. Determine the branch strategy.
   • If on main, master, or another default branch, create codex/{description}.
   • Otherwise stay on the current branch.
3. Stage only the intended changes.
   • Prefer explicit file paths when the worktree is mixed.
   • Use git add -A only when the user has confirmed the whole worktree belongs in scope.
4. Commit tersely with the confirmed description.
5. Run the most relevant checks available if they have not already been run.
   • If checks fail due to missing dependencies or tools, install what is needed and rerun once.
6. Push with tracking: git push -u origin $(git branch --show-current).
7. Open a draft PR.
   • Prefer the GitHub app from this plugin for PR creation after the push succeeds.
   • Derive repository_full_name from the remote, for example by normalizing git remote get-url origin or by using gh repo view --json nameWithOwner.
   • Derive head_branch from git branch --show-current.
   • Derive base_branch from the user request when specified; otherwise use the remote default branch, for example via gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef.
   • If the branch is being pushed from a fork or the PR target differs from the remote that was just pushed, prefer gh pr create fallback because the connector PR creation flow expects one repository target and may not encode cross-repo head semantics cleanly.
   • If connector-based PR creation cannot infer the repository or branch cleanly, fall back to gh pr create --draft --fill --head $(git branch --show-current).
   • Write the PR body to a temp file with real newlines when using CLI fallback so the markdown renders cleanly.
8. Summarize the result with branch name, commit, PR target, validation, and anything the user still needs to confirm.

Write Safety

• Never stage unrelated user changes silently.
• Never push without confirming scope when the worktree is mixed.
• Default to a draft PR unless the user explicitly asks for a ready-for-review PR.
• If the repository does not appear to be connected to an accessible GitHub remote, stop and explain the blocker before making assumptions.

PR Body Expectations

The PR description should use real Markdown prose and cover:

• what changed
• why it changed
• the user or developer impact
• the root cause when the PR is a fix
• the checks used to validate it
