At a glance

Open a PR, write or rewrite a PR description, "the PR body is too long", or check whether a PR description is readable.

  • A PR is created
  • SKILL.md covers The shape, Evidence, Leave out and Do it
  • Calls gh
  • Its body is edited

What it does

Open A PR is an agent skill from different-ai/openwork. Open a PR, write or rewrite a PR description, "the PR body is too long", or check whether a PR description is readable. Use whenever a PR is created or its body is edited.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 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. The repository describes itself as: The open-source alternative to Claude Cowork (powered by opencode).

When your agent uses it

  • A PR is created
  • Its body is edited

Example prompts

  • “the PR body is too long”
  • “/open-a-pr”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9ce20f8. 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

    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

Open A PR loads about 926 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 366 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~926

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 366 words (~926 tokens).

“A PR body is read in thirty seconds, before the diff. It answers a few questions and stops. Everything else lives in the commit messages, the spec, and the report CI posts.”
