Stage, commit, and push follow-up changes to an existing feature branch or PR. Use for quick iterations.
Best use case
update-pr is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Stage, commit, and push follow-up changes to an existing feature branch or PR. Use for quick iterations.
Teams using update-pr should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.

# Update PR Stage, commit, and push to the current feature branch for fast iterations. ## Steps ### 1. Verify preconditions - Must NOT be on `main`. If so, run `create-branch` skill first. - Check `git status`. If clean, inform user and stop. ### 2. Run quality gates Run gates from **Quality Gates** in `CLAUDE.md`. Do not commit until they pass. ### 3. Stage and commit - Stage specific files (never `git add -A`). - Extract ticket ID from branch name if it contains `DBA-<number>`. - Commit per **Commit Messages** in `CLAUDE.md`. ### 4. Push Push to tracked remote. If no upstream: `git push -u origin <branch>`. ### 5. Report Confirm push, show commit hash. Show PR URL if one exists for the branch. ## Guardrails - Never push to `main`. - Never use `git add -A` or `git add .`. - Never skip commit prefix when ticket is known.
