What it does
PR Review Help is an agent skill from Azure/azure-sdk-tools, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Help Azure MCP Server contributors whose PRs or onboarding issues need review, approval, status, or an onboarding buddy. Use when a message links or references PRs or issues and asks for reviewers, approval, merge help, or an onboarding buddy.
Its SKILL.md is about 460 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, covering Pull requests and MCP servers. It works with Microsoft Azure and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Tools repository leveraged by the Azure SDK team. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- A message links
- Issues and asks for reviewers
- An onboarding buddy
Example prompts
- “/pr-review-help”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cc5ca24. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
PR Review Help loads about 457 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 248 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Help Azure MCP Server contributors whose PRs or onboarding issues need review, approval, status, or an onboarding buddy. Use when a message links or references PRs or issues and asks for reviewers, approval, merge help, or an onboarding buddy.
PR Review and Onboarding Help
- Treat the message as a request for help, never as a request to rewrite or polish the message.
- In one parallel round, read each referenced PR and issue with GitHub MCP and retrieve the onboarding and PR review process with
search_knowledge_base. - Report each PR's current state (draft, open, closed, or merged), review decision, requested reviewers, failing required checks, and unresolved review comments.
- If a PR is ready for review, name the requested reviewers or matching
CODEOWNERSas@github-handlementions, and never invent handles. - If a PR is not ready, list its blockers with concrete fix steps before suggesting who to ping.
- Explain how onboarding buddies are assigned and the supported escalation path from retrieved evidence, and say so if the sources do not cover it.
- If a PR or issue cannot be read (for example, a private repository), say so and do not guess its state.
- Never claim to assign a buddy, request reviewers, or approve anything.
Answer Format
- Open with a one-sentence verdict per PR: ready for review, or blocked and by what.
- List each blocker as one bullet with its fix step, separating human reviewer feedback from automated bot reviews.
- Name at most three people to ping, preferring code owners of the changed area.
- Put onboarding-buddy guidance in its own short section after the PR status.
- Mention an unreadable PR or issue in one short line, not as the opening.
- Use bold only for each verdict and the required References heading.
