Pull Requests

• Keep PRs focused — one logical change per PR
• Write descriptive titles (imperative: "Add feature" not "Added feature")
• Include context in the description: what changed, why, how to test

Issues

• Reproduce before filing — include steps, expected vs actual behavior
• Label appropriately: bug, enhancement, question
• Link related issues and PRs

Reviews

• Be constructive — suggest alternatives, not just problems
• Approve if the approach is sound, even if you'd do it differently
• Block only for correctness, security, or breaking changes

Common Patterns

View a PR: navigate to /owner/repo/pull/123, snapshot to read details, click "Files changed" for diff.

List PRs: navigate to /owner/repo/pulls, snapshot to read list.

Create issue: navigate to /owner/repo/issues/new or use github_browser_create_issue workflow.
