What it does

PR Review Canvas is an agent skill from cursor/plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Generate an interactive PR review walkthrough as an HTML page. Fetches PR data via gh API, categorizes files into core vs mechanical changes, adds reviewer annotations, and renders diffs with moved-code detection. Use when the user pastes a GitHub PR URL and asks for a review, walkthrough, or summary, or says "review this PR".

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `renderer.js`).

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests and HTML artifacts. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Cursor plugin specification and official plugins.

When your agent uses it

  • The user pastes a GitHub PR URL and asks for a review
  • Says review this PR

Example prompts

  • “review this PR”
  • “/pr-review-canvas”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Fetch PR data
  2. Analyze the PR and write the body HTML
  3. Available CSS classes and JS utilities
  4. Assemble and serve

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ccb5507. 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

    Ships script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • python3

    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

PR Review Canvas loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 825 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 825 words (~2,270 tokens).

“Generate an interactive HTML review of a GitHub PR that reads like a peer walking you through what matters.”
