Pull Request Automation

This automates the repetitive parts of pull request workflows so you can focus on actual code review. It covers PR templates with checklists, auto-assignment of reviewers based on code ownership, validation of titles and commit messages, and auto-merge rules once approvals and CI checks pass. The skill includes implementations for GitHub Actions, GitLab, and Bors with specific examples for coverage requirements and conventional commit validation. Honestly, the templating and auto-assignment alone will save you hours if you're managing a team or open source project where contributors need guardrails. The best practices section is opinionated but practical, like enforcing squash commits and blocking merges on coverage drops.
