Pull Requests

Tool to automate the creation of PRs for JavaScript repositories, using Clickup as the issue manager and Claude as the AI assistant.

The end goal is to get as close as possible to getting a PR deployed using only AI and automations looking at Clickup issues.

Currently implemented:

• Get description from a Clickup ticket and pipe it into Claude code locally;
• Build the ticket description, test steps, etc suing Calude code.

This tool is currently tied heavily to my specific use case. Improvements to accommodate other use cases aren't currently in the Roadmap, but might be considered if tests start being added.

Highlights

• Loads Clickup issues as the basis for the prompt piped into Claude.
• When a pre-commit hook fails, the next run automatically suggests the previously entered commit message;
• Helps build a Github PR template and automatically check tasks.
• Extracts id and name from the branch name;
• Extracts type (and, in the future, scope) from the changed files;
• Output the pre-build pr template by passing -r.

Install

Install from npm (Recommended)

Install globally:

npm install -g @adalbertosteixeira/pull-requests-cli@latest

Or install as a dev dependency in your project:

npm install --save-dev  @adalbertosteixeira/pull-requests-cli@latest

Then add a script to your package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "commit": "npx @adalbertosteixeira/pull-requests-cli commit",
    "issue": "npx @adalbertosteixeira/pull-requests-cli ticket issue ******",
  }
}

The package includes pre-built binaries for:

• macOS (x64, arm64)
• Linux (x64)
• Windows (x64)

Download binary

Navigate to the releases tab and download the latest pull_requests file for your platform.

Build from source

Clone the repository and run

cargo build --release

For npm package maintainers, build all platforms:

npm run build

Add .pull_requests to your .gitignore.

[!TIP] If installing through download or local build, add the resulting binary to the path: export PATH="$PATH:/User/folder/".

Setup

Install Claude Code

See documentation at anthropic.

Usage

[!TIP] The first time the tool is run an editor setup prompt will appear. For now only terminal based $EDITORs are mentioned, plus how to install VSCode usage.

[!NOTE] For clarity and ease of use we're using the npm command, but running the binary directly will be faster.

Getting issue from Clickup or Github

npx @adalbertosteixeira/pull-requests-cli ticket issues

This command will allow you to get the description for issues in either Github or Clickup. It will then pipe the issue description to Claude using the following prompt:

Given the following issue description, implement all the changes required to the codebase.

Getting Claude to work on your issues

npx @adalbertosteixeira/pull-requests-cli ticket issue --issue-id ISSUE_ID

This command will:

• get the issue description from Clickup;
• prepare a plan to prepare the implementation;
• start an interactive shell to work on the issue;

Commit helper

The commit helper always the user to automate tasks to get the code into the repository:

• create a commit message;
• create a description based of a template;
• push the branch to the repository.

Commit message

The commit message will follow the pattern:

TYPE: MESSAGE [TEAM] #ID

Base usage This option will try to take the values from the branch name and the code changed and prompt the user for the template creation.

npx @adalbertosteixeira/pull-requests-cli commit

With Claude This option will try to take the values from the branch name and the code changed and use Claude to build the PR template.

npx @adalbertosteixeira/pull-requests-cli commit --claude

Flags and options

npx @adalbertosteixeira/pull-requests-cli commit --help

Pushing to origin

The tool will prompt you to push the branch to the origin.

If no origin is set, it will propose a new origin and set the upstream.

It's possible to only push to origin using the push command:

npx @adalbertosteixeira/pull-requests-cli push

Get help

Help is available at any time by running

yarn commit -h
