What it does
Dev PR is an agent skill from codeaholicguy/ai-devkit. AI DevKit · Publish a ready feature branch for review. Use when the user wants to sync, push, and open or update a code review request on GitHub, GitLab, or another Git host.
Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. It works with Git, GitHub and GitLab. The repository describes itself as: The control plane for AI coding agents. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to sync
- Update a code review request on GitHub
- Another Git host
Example prompts
- “/dev-pr”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Verify repository context with git status -sb, git branch --show-current, and git remote -v.
- Confirm the branch is not the base branch and has committed changes to publish.
- Fetch the remote before comparing or rebasing.
- Rebase the feature branch onto the latest remote base branch before push/review.
- Resolve conflicts carefully, preserving intended behavior, then rerun relevant validation.
- Push safely. Use --force-with-lease only when a rebase rewrote an already-pushed branch.
- Open or update the host's review request: PR, merge request, or equivalent.
- Report review URL, branch, HEAD SHA, validation results, push mode, and risks.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7ef0cd5. 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
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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
Dev PR loads about 613 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 328 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.

Dev PR
Publish an already-reviewed branch for code review. Keep this separate from commit creation: if the branch has uncommitted changes, stop and ask the user to run the commit workflow first.
Contract
- Verify repository context with
git status -sb,git branch --show-current, andgit remote -v. - Confirm the branch is not the base branch and has committed changes to publish.
- Fetch the remote before comparing or rebasing.
- Rebase the feature branch onto the latest remote base branch before push/review.
- Resolve conflicts carefully, preserving intended behavior, then rerun relevant validation.
- Push safely. Use
--force-with-leaseonly when a rebase rewrote an already-pushed branch. - Open or update the host's review request: PR, merge request, or equivalent.
- Report review URL, branch, HEAD SHA, validation results, push mode, and risks.
Publish Workflow
- Inspect local context:
git status -sbgit branch --show-currentgit remote -v
- If uncommitted changes exist, stop. Do not stage, amend, squash, or commit in this skill.
- Identify the remote and base branch from repo conventions, upstream config, or user instruction; default to
origin/mainonly when that matches the repo. - Fetch the remote, inspect the delta, and rebase onto the remote base branch.
- If conflicts occur, inspect conflicted files and
git diff, resolve minimally, validate when useful,git add, then continue the rebase. Stop if the correct resolution is unclear. - Run relevant validation for the changed surface.
- Push:
- First push: set upstream.
- Normal update: plain push.
- Rebased already-pushed branch:
--force-with-lease.
- Open or update the review request using the host's tool/API/UI (
gh,glab, forge CLI, web UI, or project-specific workflow). - Write a concise review description. Include enough for reviewers to understand:
- Summary: what changed, why, and how.
- Validation: how it was verified.
- Risks: notable risks or "none known".
- Report:
- Review URL and state
- Branch and HEAD SHA
- Validation commands and exit codes
- Push mode, including whether
--force-with-leasewas used - Risks, follow-ups, or blockers
