What it does

PR Review Canvas is an agent skill from cursor/plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Render a PR diff review as a Cursor Canvas that groups changes by reviewer importance, separates boilerplate from core logic, and highlights tricky or unexpected code. Use when reviewing a pull request, summarizing a diff for review, or when the user asks for a PR review canvas, diff walkthrough, or change-set overview.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Project scaffolding. The repository describes itself as: Cursor plugin specification and official plugins.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing a pull request
  • Summarizing a diff for review
  • The user asks for a PR review canvas
  • Diff walkthrough

Example prompts

  • “/pr-review-canvas”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Core logic — New behavior, algorithm changes, state transitions, API surface changes. Show full diffs with surrounding context.
  2. Wiring & integration — Route registration, dependency injection, config plumbing that connects the core logic. Condensed — enough to…
  3. Boilerplate & mechanical — Import reordering, renames, generated code, formatting, type re-exports. Summarize as a list of file names and…

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • git

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 657 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 657 words (~1,188 tokens).

“Build a canvas that presents a PR diff reorganized for reviewer comprehension — not in file-tree order.”
