Description
Proposal
Add a "Pull Request Timing" section to the version control standard specifying when PRs should be created.
Problem
The current standard has:
- "Before Creating PR" checklist
- "PR Checklist"
- "Before Merging" checklist
But no guidance on when to create the PR in the development workflow.
Proposed Addition
## Pull Request Timing
**Create a draft PR immediately after the first push of a feature branch.**
**Rationale:**
- Enables CI checks from first commit
- Provides visibility into work in progress
- Allows automated workflows to comment (e.g., preview URLs)
- PR description written while context is fresh
Convert to ready-for-review when work is complete.Context
Discovered while implementing GitHub Actions deployment workflows. The preview deployment workflow comments preview URLs on PRs, but this only works if a PR exists. Creating draft PRs early solves this and provides other benefits.
Benefits of Early Draft PRs
- CI runs immediately - catch issues early
- Team visibility - others see work in progress
- Workflow integration - bots can comment (preview URLs, coverage reports, etc.)
- Better PR descriptions - written while context is fresh, not rushed at the end
