What it does

Applying PR Conventions is an agent skill from bitwarden/ai-plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Compose the conventions a Bitwarden pull request needs — the conventional commit type prefix and title, the PR template body, and the ai-review label. Use for "what should the PR title be", "draft the PR body", "fill in the PR template", "which ai-review label", or when another delivery skill asks for these. Returns the title, body, resolved t: label, label choice, and which template the body came from. Not for opening the pull request itself (that is creating-pull-request), or for the type keyword and t: mapping…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Commit messages. The repository describes itself as: AI plugin marketplace.

When your agent uses it

  • What should the PR title be
  • Draft the PR body
  • Fill in the PR template
  • Which ai-review label

Example prompts

  • “what should the PR title be”
  • “draft the PR body”
  • “fill in the PR template”
  • “/applying-pr-conventions”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Skill(labeling-changes), Bash(gh api repos/bitwarden/template/contents/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md -H Accept:application/vnd.github.raw)

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Title
  2. Body
  3. Label

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 53e22a3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Skill(labeling-changes)
    • Bash(gh api repos/bitwarden/template/contents/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md -H Accept:application/vnd.github.raw)

    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

Applying PR Conventions loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 151 tokens; SKILL.md has 714 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~151
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 714 words (~1,513 tokens).

“Compose five values for one pull request and return them: the title, the body, the ai-review label choice, the resolved t: label that the title's type keyword maps to, and which template the body came from. Returning to the caller…”
