# Pre-Merge
Create a GitHub PR linking back to the PRD and slice issues, then review the full diff against the project's architectural principles. Produces advisory findings — does not block merge, auto-fix code, or file issues.
## Invocation Position
This is a primary pipeline skill used after implementation has been verified and before merging to main, *or* when picking up someone else's PR for review.
Use `/pre-merge` when the branch is ready for PR creation, architectural review, and final plan-to-code reconciliation. Use `/pre-merge --pr <number>` when you are reviewing a PR you did not author.
Do not use it as a substitute for implementation verification, QA intake, or refactor planning. It assumes the work is already built and ready to review.
## Modes
`/pre-merge` runs in one of two modes. Both reuse Phase 3's 11 architectural review dimensions (`review-checklist.md`); they differ in what they consume and what they produce.
- **Author-mode (default)** — invoked on your own branch with no `--pr` argument. The skill creates the PR (Phase 2) and prints findings to the terminal as advisories (Phase 4). This is the mode auto-invoked by `/execute` Step 6.
- **Reviewer-mode** — invoked as `/pre-merge --pr <number>` against a PR you did not author. The skill skips PR creation (the PR already exists) and produces *draft comment text* (Phase 4) for you to review and post, structured per `references/comment-craft.md` (5P gate, Triple-R, Comment Signals, MMG Exchange).
