What it does

Approve is an agent skill from dyoshikawa/rulesync. Approve a pull request using gh pr review --approve

Its SKILL.md is about 430 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: A Utility CLI for AI Coding Agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/approve”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine the Target PR
  2. Verify the PR
  3. Approve the PR
  4. Report Result

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2c577d0. 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

    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

Approve loads about 429 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 219 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~15
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~429

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.

Approve Pull Request

Approve a pull request using gh pr review --approve.

Input

the user's request

Step 1: Determine the Target PR

Parse the user's request to identify the PR to approve:

Case A: PR number or URL is provided
  • Extract the PR number from the argument
  • Examples: 123, #123, https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123
Case B: No argument provided
  • Get the PR associated with the current branch:
    bash
    gh pr view --json number,title,state
Case C: Unable to determine the PR

If the PR cannot be determined (e.g., no PR exists for the current branch, or the argument is ambiguous), ask the user to specify which PR to approve.

Step 2: Verify the PR

Before approving, confirm the PR details:

bash
gh pr view <pr_number> --json number,title,state,author,baseRefName,headRefName,isDraft

Check:

  1. The PR state is OPEN
  2. The PR is not a draft (isDraft is false)
  3. Display the PR title, number, and author to the user for confirmation

If the PR is not open or is a draft, inform the user and stop.

Step 3: Approve the PR

Execute the approve command:

bash
gh pr review <pr_number> --approve

Important: Only approve ONE PR at a time. If multiple PRs are somehow specified, ask the user which single PR to approve.

If you want to add a comment along with the approval, use the --body option:

bash
gh pr review <pr_number> --approve --body "<approval_comment>"

Step 4: Report Result

After approving:

  1. Confirm the PR was successfully approved
  2. Display the approved PR number and title
