At a glance

Open a pull request on the Kiln repo for a human to complete.

  • Works in 8 steps: Prepare the branch → Find the target branch → Write the title → …
  • The user asks to open
  • SKILL.md covers Rule 0 — The human header is…, Rule 1 — Never sign the CLA, Rule 2 — Write in Simplified… and Rule 3 — Keep the private repo…, plus 10 more sections
  • Calls uv, gh and git; reaches claude.ai and linear.app

What it does

Open PR is an agent skill from Kiln-AI/Kiln. Open a pull request on the Kiln repo for a human to complete. The title gets a WIP: prefix and a semantic-commit type. The description keeps the human-only header of the PR template as empty placeholders, and the agent writes only the Agentic PR Summary below it (one-line TLDR, summary, implementation bullets, warnings, optional Mermaid diagram, collapsible examples and screenshots). The agent never signs the CLA. Also covers the short watch window for review-bot comments and CI. Use when the user asks to open…

Its SKILL.md is about 6.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/repair_pr.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests, Commit messages and Summarization. It works with Mermaid. The repository describes itself as: Build, Evaluate, and Optimize AI Systems. Includes evals, RAG, agents, fine-tuning, synthetic data generation, dataset management, MCP, and more.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to open
  • Rewrite a PR description
  • Update a PR after a push

Example prompts

  • “/open-pr”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Prepare the branch
  2. Find the target branch
  3. Write the title
  4. Write the description
  5. Create the PR
  6. Keep the title and the description true
  7. Ask about the watch window
  8. The watch window

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8ac9075. 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:

    • uv
    • gh
    • git

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • claude.ai
    • linear.app

    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

Open PR loads about 6.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 155 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,577 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~155
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.4k

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 3,577 words (~6,059 tokens).

“This skill tells you how to open a pull request (PR) on Kiln-AI/Kiln, how to write the description, and what to do after you push.”
