What it does

Merge PR is an agent skill from dyoshikawa/rulesync. Merge a pull request using gh pr merge --admin

Its SKILL.md is about 650 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

  • “/merge-pr”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine the Target PR
  2. Verify the PR
  3. Check GitHub Actions Workflow Status
  4. Merge the PR
  5. Comment on the PR
  6. Report Result
  7. Clean Up Local Branch

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 625bf98. 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

Merge PR loads about 645 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 338 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~645

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.

Merge Pull Request

Merge a pull request using gh pr merge --admin.

Input

the user's request

Step 1: Determine the Target PR

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

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 merge.

Step 2: Verify the PR

Before merging, confirm the PR details:

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

Check:

  1. The PR state is OPEN
  2. Display the PR title and number to the user (for visibility; do not wait for a reply)

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

Step 3: Check GitHub Actions Workflow Status

Verify that all CI checks have passed before merging:

bash
gh pr checks <pr_number>

Check:

  1. All workflow checks show pass status
  2. No checks are pending or fail

If checks are still running, do not ask — wait for them with gh pr checks <pr_number> --watch and merge once they all pass.

If any check has failed, inform the user and ask whether to:

  • Investigate failed checks before merging
  • Proceed with merge anyway (using --admin will bypass required checks)

Step 4: Merge the PR

Execute the merge command:

bash
gh pr merge <pr_number> --admin --merge

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

Step 5: Comment on the PR

After the merge succeeds, leave a thank-you comment mentioning the PR author:

bash
gh pr comment <pr_number> --body "@<author_login> Thank you!"

Use the author.login value obtained in Step 2 for the mention.

Step 6: Report Result

After merging:

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

Step 7: Clean Up Local Branch

If the local branch exists, please clean up the local branch. Execute:

bash
git checkout main && git pull --prune && git branch -d <branch-name>

Where <branch-name> is the head branch name from Step 2 (e.g., fix/rulesync-import-targets).
