What it does

Creating A PR is an agent skill from Fallout-build/Fallout. Steps for opening a pull request in the Fallout repo — picking the right base branch, creating it as a draft, applying the target/vCurrent-or-vNext and changelog-category labels, and handling breaking changes. Trigger whenever you are about to run gh pr create, decide a branch/base, write commit messages, or write a PR/issue description.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/pr-creation-flow.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes, Commit messages and Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: ☢️ Fallout — The C/.NET Build System.

When your agent uses it

  • Ever you are about to run gh pr create
  • Decide a branch/base
  • Write commit messages
  • Write a PR/issue description

Example prompts

  • “Use the creating-a-pr skill to step for opening a pull request in the Fallout repo — picking the right base branch, creating it as a draft, applying…”
  • “/creating-a-pr”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Working from a fork?
  2. Create as a draft
  3. Label at creation time, not as a follow-up
  4. Breaking change? Do all of this too

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8333cc8. 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:

    • git
    • gh

    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

Creating A PR loads about 823 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 364 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~823
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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 364 words (~823 tokens).

“Follow this exactly when opening a PR. Don't skip the labelling — it's easy to drop because it's just flags on the same gh pr create call.”
