# Validate PR Description Command
## Context
- PR title: [User provides]
- PR body: [User provides text or path to a file]
## Your task
Validate the PR description against these standards:
### 1. Conventional Commit Title
Title must match `<type>(<scope>)?: <description>` where type is one of:
`feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `style`, `refactor`, `perf`, `test`, `chore`, `ci`, `build`, `revert`.
### 2. Issue Linking Keywords
Body should contain at least one issue linking keyword:
`Closes #N`, `Fixes #N`, `Resolves #N` (and their past-tense variants).
These keywords auto-close the linked issue when the PR merges on platforms that support them (GitHub, GitLab). On other platforms (Azure DevOps, Bitbucket), they serve as traceability markers.
### 3. PR Template Compliance
Check that required sections are populated:
- Summary (non-empty)
- Changes (at least one item)
- Type of Change (at least one checkbox marked)
### Validation Script (optional)
If `.claude/skills/github/scripts/pr/validate_pr_description.py` exists, run it:
```bash
python3 .claude/skills/github/scripts/pr/validate_pr_description.py \
--title "[title]" \
--body-file "[path-to-body.md]"
```
Otherwise, validate manually against the criteria above.
Report findings with actionable recommendations for any failures.
