+name: open-pull-request
+description: "Open a single pull request for the current job branch by committing and pushing the changes already in the checkout and creating the PR with the built-in `report_progress` and `create_pull_request` tools. Use as the shared publication step for Dreaming tasks that produce file changes."
+user-invocable: false

+
+# Open Pull Request
+
+Publish file changes produced by a Dreaming task as exactly one reviewable pull
+request, using the platform's built-in runtime tools.
+
+## Purpose
+
+Provide one reusable way to turn work in the repository checkout into a pull
+request on the current job branch, without GitHub MCP, `gh`, or independently
+authenticated scripts.
+
+## Conditions (C)
+
+Use this skill only when:
+
+- the task has produced file changes that should land as a reviewable PR;
+- the run executes as a `task` action — `create_pull_request` is only available
+  then;
+- the built-in `report_progress` and `create_pull_request` tools are enabled for
+  the run.
+
+Do not use this skill for tasks that only return a summary.
+
+## Required tools
+
+This skill relies on two built-in runtime tools, which must be enabled for the
+run:
+
+- `report_progress` — commits and pushes the pending changes on the job branch.
+- `create_pull_request` — opens a pull request for the current branch, setting
+  its title and body. Calling it again for a branch that already has a PR safely
+  returns that PR instead of failing or opening a duplicate; it does not
+  re-apply the title or body to an already-open PR.
+
+No `gh`, authenticated `curl`, or GitHub MCP write tools are used.
+
+## Interface (R)
+
+Inputs:
+
+- `title`: the pull request title.
+- `summary`: the pull request body in markdown, with the context reviewers need.
+- `draft` (optional): whether to open the pull request as a draft.
+
+Outputs:
+
+- exactly one open pull request for the current branch containing the task's
+  files; or
+- an explicit no-op or blocked summary when there is nothing to publish or the
+  required tools are unavailable.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Confirm the task's files are in the checkout
+
+Confirm the file(s) the calling task produced are present in the checkout — the
+task writes them as it does its work; this skill does not author file content. If
+there are no files to publish, do not open a pull request; report the run as a
+no-op.
+
+### 2. Commit and push with `report_progress`
+
+`report_progress` commits everything pending in the checkout. Before calling it,
+run `git status` and confirm the pending files are the ones you intend to
+publish. If unrelated, generated, or scratch files are present, remove them from
+the checkout (or keep them outside it) before publishing.
+
+Then call `report_progress` with:
+
+- `commitMessage`: a short, single-line commit message;
+- `prDescription`: the `summary` input, so it matches the PR body opened in
+  step 3.
+
+This commits and pushes the changes to the job branch.
+
+### 3. Open the pull request with `create_pull_request`
+
+Call `create_pull_request` with `title`, `description` (the body from the
+`summary` input), and `draft` when the work should open as a draft. This creates
+the pull request for the current branch with that title and body. Each scheduled
+run uses its own fresh branch, so this creates one new PR per run. If a PR
+already exists for the branch, the call safely returns it without changing its
+title or body.
+
+## Termination (T)
+
+Success requires:
+
+- the task's files are committed and pushed on the job branch;
+- exactly one pull request is open for that branch.
+
+No-op or blocked outcomes are explicit: when there are no file changes to
+publish, or the required tools are unavailable, do not open a pull request and
+report the outcome. Never report a pull request that was not created.
+
+## Never do
+
+- Never author or modify the task's file content; the calling task owns that.
+- Never commit files other than the task's files; verify the working tree with
+  `git status` before publishing.
+- Never use `gh`, authenticated `curl`, or scripts that obtain GitHub
+  credentials.
+- Never open more than one pull request per run for the same change.
+
+## Scope boundaries
+
+This skill owns turning committed checkout changes into a single pull request.
+It creates a new pull request for the current branch; updating the title or body
+of a pull request that already exists (for example, revising an earlier run's PR)
+is out of scope. The calling task owns deciding what to publish and composing the
+title and body. The Dreaming host owns branch provisioning, tool availability,
+and authentication.
