What it does

Takeover PR is an agent skill from gittower/git-flow-next. Take over a stale PR — supersede it with requested changes applied, crediting the original author

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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. It works with Git. 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

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/takeover-pr”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, mcp__github__get_pull_request, mcp__github__get_pull_request_reviews, mcp__github__get_pull_request_comments, mcp__github__create_pull_request, mcp__github__add_issue_comment, mcp__github__update_issue

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify Eligibility — Strictly
  2. Preserve the Contributor's Work
  3. Apply the Requested Changes
  4. Local Review
  5. Draft the Public Actions
  6. Confirmation Gate
  7. Execute
  8. 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:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • mcp__github__get_pull_request
    • mcp__github__get_pull_request_reviews
    • mcp__github__get_pull_request_comments
    • mcp__github__create_pull_request

    …and 2 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • go
    • 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

Takeover PR loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 598 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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: Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, mcp__github__get_pull_request, mcp__github__get_pull_request_re

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 598 words (~1,266 tokens).

“Execute the review response window policy from CONTRIBUTING.md: when a contributor has not responded to requested changes within 7 days, close their PR and land a successor PR based on their work with the requested changes applied on top —…”
