What it does
PR Description is an agent skill from dxos/dxos. Write or rewrite a pull request description from literal section templates — summary and safety (always), bugfix, architecture, and UI — so every PR body has the same headings, tables and line formats. Architecture diagrams are rendered with plugin-illustrator's DSL CLI, never Mermaid. Use whenever you open a PR, edit a PR body (gh pr edit --body, updatepullrequest), or are asked to write, fix, or review a PR description. The submit-pr skill calls this at its "open the PR" step.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files (for example `templates/architecture.md`, `templates/bugfix.md` and `templates/safety.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Pull requests and Diagrams. It works with Adobe Illustrator and Mermaid. The repository describes itself as: TypeScript implementation of the DXOS protocols, SDK, toolchain and Composer.
When your agent uses it
- Edit a PR body (gh pr edit --body
- Updatepullrequest)
- Are asked to write
- Review a PR description
Example prompts
- “open the PR”
- “/pr-description”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f0fc12a. 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:
gitgh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and 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 Description loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 127 tokens; SKILL.md has 771 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 771 words (~1,727 tokens).
“Every PR body is assembled from literal templates: each template file holds one markdown block that is copied verbatim, with only its {{…}} slots replaced. The headings, bold labels, table columns and fixed words are the same in every PR…”
