What it does

Phoenix PR Description is an agent skill from Arize-ai/phoenix. Writes and maintains the body of a pull request opened by a coding agent on Arize-ai/phoenix, including a fixed "How this PR was made" section that reports steering, abandoned approaches, and verification gaps so a reviewer can pick a review depth. Use when opening a PR, editing a PR body, pushing more commits to an agent-authored PR, or when the user asks for a PR description, PR summary, or provenance section.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `examples.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests and LLM observability. It works with Arize Phoenix. The repository describes itself as: AI Observability & Evaluation.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing a PR body
  • Pushing more commits to an agent-authored PR
  • The user asks for a PR description
  • Provenance section

Example prompts

  • “How this PR was made”
  • “Use the phoenix-pr-description skill to write and maintains the body of a pull request opened by a coding agent on Arize-ai/phoenix, including a…”
  • “/phoenix-pr-description”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 52f76fc. 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:

    • jq

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Phoenix PR Description loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 543 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 543 words (~1,283 tokens).

“A PR body lets a reviewer answer three questions at a glance: do I need to review this, how long will review and testing take, and should I hand it to my agent. Write only what serves those three. The…”
