What it does

Meta PR Creation is an agent skill from cipherstash/stack. How an agent authors branches, commits, and pull requests on cipherstash/stack — naming, signed commits, the changeset/skills/meta-file checklist, and PR body structure with dumbed-down wording. Use when committing work or opening/updating a PR.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 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. It works with Prisma, PostgreSQL and pnpm. The repository describes itself as: Searchable, application-level encryption for building privacy-first apps. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Committing work
  • Opening/updating a PR

Example prompts

  • “/meta-pr-creation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Changeset — required when the change touches a published package's
  2. Skills check — a change to a public API, CLI surface, or user-facing
  3. Meta files — adding/removing/renaming a package, example, skill, or

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3eb459b. 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:

    • git
    • pnpm
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, pnpm and 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

Meta PR Creation loads about 937 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 467 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~937

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.

Authoring PRs as an agent

Internal skill — lives in .claude/skills/ on purpose. skills/ ships to customers inside the stash tarball; this must not.

Branch and commits

  • Branch names are type-prefixed slugs: docs/skill-psl-functional-indexes, fix/…, feat/…, chore/…. Never commit to main.

  • Commit subjects are conventional: type(scope): imperative summary — docs(skills): …, fix(stack-prisma): …. The body explains why and the mechanism, not a list of what changed (the diff shows that). Reference the GitHub issue the commit serves.

  • Commits must be signed. commit.gpgsign is on, but verify before pushing:

    bash
    git log --format='%h %G? %s' main..HEAD   # G = signed, N = unsigned

    An unsigned commit (N) in the stack: git rebase --force-rebase main re-commits everything signed, then git push --force-with-lease. Always --force-with-lease, never bare --force.

Before opening the PR

The authoritative checklist is AGENTS.md § "Adding Features Safely" — read it, don't work from memory. The three most-missed items:

  1. Changeset — required when the change touches a published package's surface, including a skills/-only change (those ship in the stash tarball, so they need a stash patch changeset). A .claude/-only change is internal: no changeset.
  2. Skills check — a change to a public API, CLI surface, or user-facing workflow must fix the affected skills/*/SKILL.md in the same PR (package→skill map in AGENTS.md).
  3. Meta files — adding/removing/renaming a package, example, skill, or subpath export must update AGENTS.md Repository Layout and SECURITY.md.

Then run: pnpm run code:fix, pnpm --filter <pkg> build, pnpm --filter <pkg> test.

PR body

Same wording rule as meta-issue-creation: dumbed down — assume the reviewer is new to CipherStash, stack, and EQL. Define product terms at first use; say what breaks or improves in the user's world, not just the code's.

Sections, in order:

  • Summary — what and why, two or three plain sentences. Lead with the user-visible effect.
  • Changes — grouped by area, one line each.
  • Verification — exactly what was run and what it showed. Honest: a failing or skipped check is stated, not omitted. "Verified against the 0.17 dist" beats "should work".
  • Related — Closes #N / Refs #N for the GitHub issues this serves; cross-repo refs in full owner/repo#N form.
  • Review notes (optional) — where to look first, and anything deliberately deferred with the reason.

Reference wording traps (same as issues):

  • #N only as a real GitHub issue/PR reference — GitHub autolinks every #N, so "option #2" mints a bogus link. Write "option 2".
  • Never reference internal Linear issues (CIP-…) in PRs, commits, or comments — GitHub is public.

Mechanics

  • Always open as a draft: gh pr create --draft --title '…' --body '…' (title follows the commit-subject convention). Mark it ready for review only when the user says so — either ask, or rely on an explicit "open it ready" / "mark it ready" from them. gh pr ready <number> flips it.
  • Force-pushing a branch with an open PR is fine (rebases, re-signs) — but say so in a PR comment when the rewrite changes more than commit hashes.
  • Don't merge, close, or mark ready-for-review without being asked.
