pr-iterateIterate on a GitHub pull request from a coding agent (like Copilot coding agent) until it's ready for human review.
PR Iterate is an agent skill from jonathanpeppers/dotnes. Iterate on a GitHub pull request from a coding agent (like Copilot coding agent) until it's ready for human review. Use this skill whenever the user asks to complete a PR, finish a PR, iterate on a PR, review and fix a PR, ship a PR, get a PR green, land a PR, or monitor a coding agent's PR. Also triggers when the user mentions PR numbers (e.g. "108"), links to github.com pull requests, or says things like "when copilot is done", "clean up that PR", "make it green", or "iterate until CI passes". This skill…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k 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: .NET for the NES game console. The licence is MIT.
9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 42ca23d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
ghgitdotnetFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
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.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
PR Iterate loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 166 tokens; SKILL.md has 931 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

.claude/skills/pr-iterate/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Take over a pull request from a coding agent and iterate on it until it's green and ready for human review. The human will review and merge — never merge yourself.
Every comment, review body, or PR description edit you post must start with the 🤖 emoji so humans can instantly tell it came from automation. This applies to:

}Never pass review bodies with backticks directly via --body — PowerShell and
the gh CLI mangle them into backslash-escaped garbage.

Be specific about what you checked and any concerns.
Once the code review passes:
gh pr ready <number> --repo <owner>/<repo>[WIP]): gh pr edit <number> --repo <owner>/<repo> --title "<clean title>"Before monitoring CI, check if the PR has merge conflicts:
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<number> --jq '{mergeable, mergeable_state}'If mergeable is false and mergeable_state is "dirty":
git fetch origin main
git merge origin/mainmain

gh run watch <run-id> --repo <owner>/<repo> --exit-statusIf CI needs approval (shows "action_required"):
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/actions/runs/<run-id>/approve -X POSTIf approval via API fails (403), the run may have auto-started on a subsequent

git push origin <branch>After posting your review or after CI goes green, check for review comments from humans or other bots:
gh pr view <number> --repo <owner>/<repo> --comments
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<number>/reviews
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<number>/commentsFor each unresolved review comment:
# Get comment IDs

gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<number>/comments \
-f body="🤖 Valid point — filed #<issue> as a follow-up." \
-F in_reply_to=<comment-id>If a review requests changes, address all comments before re-requesting review. After pushing fixes, go back to step 6 to monitor CI.
Repeat steps 5-8 until CI is fully green, merge conflicts are resolved, and all review comments are addressed (either fixed or filed as follow-ups). Then verify:
gh pr checks <number> --repo <owner>/<repo>Once all checks pass:
Re-request a review from @copilot so the Copilot code review bot validates the final state of the PR:
gh pr edit <number> --repo <owner>/<repo> --add-reviewer "@copilot"Wait for the Copilot review to appear (poll with gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<number>/reviews).
If Copilot leaves suggestions or requests changes, address them the same way
as human review feedback (step 8) and re-request once fixed.
Capture a screenshot or GIF if the PR adds or modifies a sample. Build the
solution first (dotnet build from the repo root), then use the screenshot or

PR Iterate fits situations like: the user asks to complete a PR; iterate on a PR; review and fix a PR; monitor a coding agents PR.
Run `npx skills add jonathanpeppers/dotnes --skill pr-iterate -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/skills/pr-iterate in jonathanpeppers/dotnes) into .claude/skills/pr-iterate in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add jonathanpeppers/dotnes --skill pr-iterate -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/skills/pr-iterate in jonathanpeppers/dotnes) into .agents/skills/pr-iterate in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add jonathanpeppers/dotnes --skill pr-iterate -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/pr-iterate, .gemini/skills/pr-iterate, .github/skills/pr-iterate and .opencode/skills/pr-iterate in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, PR Iterate needs the command-line tools its instructions call (gh, git and dotnet).
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use gh and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
PR Iterate is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with PR Iterate: PR Babysitter (openinterpreter/openinterpreter, 69k stars), Check PR (onyx-dot-app/onyx, 32k stars), Contributor-First PR Merge (HKUDS/OpenHarness, 16k stars) and Create Pull Request (cline/cline, 70k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
