What it does

Create PR is an agent skill from haacked/dotfiles. Create or update a GitHub PR with automatic template detection and filling, enforcing a plain staff-engineer writing voice in the PR body

Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k 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: My dotfiles and scripts I use on dev machines.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/create-pr”

Requirements

  • A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. Parse Arguments
  2. Gather Git Context
  3. Find PR Template
  4. Detect Saved Test Plan
  5. Compose Title and Body
  6. Edit the prose before preview
  7. Show Preview and Confirm
  8. Ensure Branch Is Pushed
  9. Create or Update PR
  10. Request Reviews on PostHog/posthog
  11. Report Result

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 50b32d3. 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
    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and git, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GITHUB_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Create PR loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,369 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.4k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,369 words (~4,374 tokens).

“Create (or update) a GitHub pull request using gh, auto-detecting and filling any PR template.”
