What it does

Handle PR is an agent skill from gittower/git-flow-next. Review an incoming PR end-to-end — strict local review, drafted GitHub review, post after confirmation

Its SKILL.md is about 830 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. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: A modern reimplementation of git-flow in Go that offers greater flexibility while maintaining backward compatibility with the original git-flow and git-flow-avh.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/handle-pr”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Task, Bash, Read, Glob, Grep, Write, mcp__github__get_pull_request, mcp__github__get_pull_request_files, mcp__github__create_pull_request_review

Workflow steps

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

  1. Pre-Checks
  2. Local Review
  3. Draft the GitHub Review
  4. Confirmation Gate
  5. Post
  6. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00d1b4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Task
    • Bash
    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Write
    • mcp__github__get_pull_request
    • mcp__github__get_pull_request_files
    • mcp__github__create_pull_request_review

    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

Handle PR loads about 829 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 404 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~829

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Task, Bash, Read, Glob, Grep, Write, mcp__github__get_pull_request, mcp__github__get_pull_request_fi

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 404 words (~829 tokens).

“Review an incoming pull request end-to-end: a strict local review against REVIEW_CRITERIA.md (including scope and spec satisfaction), distilled into a GitHub review draft, posted only after user confirmation. Internal and external PRs are treated the same.”
