About
new-branch-and-pr is a Cursor plugin skill for a clean branch-and-pull-request workflow. It triggers when starting work that should ship through a dedicated branch and PR. The workflow ensures a clean or explicitly handled working tree, creates a descriptive branch from latest main, completes implementation and tests, commits focused changes, pushes, and opens a concise PR with summary and test notes. Guardrails keep branch scope to one change set and require verification notes before review. Outputs include the branch name, PR summary, test notes, and PR URL. Developers in Cursor reach for this skill to avoid ad hoc branch naming and incomplete PR descriptions.
- Creates a new Git branch using conventional naming from your current task or ticket
- Stages changes, commits with an AI-generated message, and pushes to remote
- Automatically opens a new GitHub pull request with pre-filled title and description
- Reduces context switching between Cursor, terminal, and browser during feature work
- Works as both Cursor rule and standalone CLI command
