What it does

Respect Manual PR Edits is an agent skill from 0xMiden/protocol. Use when editing or updating a GitHub pull request or issue body, or a PR title, that a person may have rewritten - fetch the live text first and preserve the manual changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Core components of the Miden protocol. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Updating a GitHub pull request
  • That a person may have rewritten - fetch the live text first and preserve the manual changes

Example prompts

  • “/respect-manual-pr-edits”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Fetch the live body immediately before editing
  2. Diff it against what you last wrote. Treat every difference as a deliberate human edit.
  3. Make only the targeted edits the situation requires, such as a fact the code no longer
  4. Apply the same discipline to PR titles.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62b59ec. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Respect Manual PR Edits loads about 421 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 205 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~421

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Respect Manual Edits to PR and Issue Text

Rule

Once a person has edited a PR or issue description on GitHub, that live text is the source of truth. Later edits build on it and keep the person's structure, wording, headings and omissions. Never re-amend from the draft you originally wrote, restore a section they removed, or re-expand text they trimmed.

Procedure

  1. Fetch the live body immediately before editing: gh pr view <n> --json body --jq .body (or gh issue view <n> --json body --jq .body).
  2. Diff it against what you last wrote. Treat every difference as a deliberate human edit.
  3. Make only the targeted edits the situation requires, such as a fact the code no longer matches or a link that moved. Fix the specific sentence rather than replacing the body.
  4. Apply the same discipline to PR titles.

Why

A reviewer who rewrites a description has already decided what the reader needs. Overwriting it discards that decision and forces them to redo the work after every push.

Example

Avoid (the person cut the body to a summary and a notes list; the update replaces it with the original draft):

markdown
## Summary
...
## Changes
- five bullets restored from the first draft
## Open questions
- section the person had removed

Good (same live body, one sentence corrected because the code changed):

markdown
## Summary
...
## Notes
- The zero-price test now also covers three network notes.
