What it does

Open PR is an agent skill from deshaw/versioned-hdf5. Rules for opening or updating a GitHub pull request in deshaw/versioned-hdf5. Use whenever the user asks you to open a PR, create a pull request, update an existing PR, or push work for review. Enforces draft state, the [unsupervised AI] title prefix, and the mandatory AI disclaimer in the description.

Its SKILL.md is about 240 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 GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Versioned HDF5 provides a versioned abstraction on top of h5py. Learn more at https://www.deshaw.com/library/desco-quansight-introducing-versioned-hdf5.

Example prompts

“Use the open-pr skill to rule for opening or updating a GitHub pull request in deshaw/versioned-hdf5”
“/open-pr”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 22511dc. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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

Open PR loads about 244 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 107 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~244

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 107 words (~244 tokens).
