Patterns and conventions for creating a good PR. An agent skill from latitude-dev/latitude-llm.

  • Works in 2 steps: What this PR does — the actual change,… → Why it exists — the problem, motivation,…
  • Tasks that involve Pull requests
  • SKILL.md covers Audience, Title, What the description must convey and Structure, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Create PR is an agent skill from latitude-dev/latitude-llm. Patterns and conventions for creating a good PR

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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. The repository describes itself as: Open-source observability for AI agents. Find where your agents fail, dispatch your coding agent to fix it, and verify the fix against real traces. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “Use the create-pr skill to pattern and conventions for creating a good PR. An agent skill from latitude-dev/latitude-llm”
  • “/create-pr”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. What this PR does — the actual change, in plain language
  2. Why it exists — the problem, motivation, or unblock (skip only if the title makes it self-evident)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 87e8aa0. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Create PR loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 719 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Patterns and conventions for creating a good PR

PR Description Guidelines

The work is done. Now, create a new PR for the current changes. If you're not on a new branch yet, create one first. Then, create the PR. Treat the changes as a real deliverable. The description is the first thing anyone reading this work will see, and most readers will not read the diff line by line.

Audience

Write for someone who:

  • Is a developer on this team
  • Already knows this repository and its existing architecture
  • Has not seen this work before

You don't need to explain the codebase, the framework, or how things generally work in this system. You do need to explain everything new that this PR introduces — concepts, entities, flows, behaviors — clearly enough that the reader understands the change without opening the diff.

Cover only what's in this PR. If it's part of a larger effort (MVP, migration, refactor), one short line of framing is enough. Don't restate the whole project.

Title

The title is a one-line summary of the change. Specific, declarative, imperative mood.

  • Good: Add alert incident lifecycle and worker pipeline
  • Bad: Alert work / Various improvements / Updates to alerts module

If the repo uses a prefix convention (feat:, fix:, scoping like [backend]), match it.

What the description must convey

Every PR description, regardless of size, has to answer:

  1. What this PR does — the actual change, in plain language
  2. Why it exists — the problem, motivation, or unblock (skip only if the title makes it self-evident)

Beyond those two, include whatever else the reader needs to actually understand the change:

  • New domain concepts introduced (entities, events, jobs, statuses, etc.): what they are, when they're created, who produces and consumes them
  • Non-obvious decisions: trade-offs, why an alternative was rejected, schema or concurrency choices that aren't visible from the diff
  • Deliberate scope cuts and known follow-ups
  • Anything a reviewer would otherwise have to reverse-engineer from the code
  • How the change was tested or validated, when relevant

If something is only interesting at the code level — naming, file moves, mechanical refactors — leave it in the diff.

Structure

Don't follow a fixed template. The right structure depends entirely on what this PR contains.

Decide the structure by asking: what does the reader need to know, and in what order? Then group that information into coherent sections with headers that describe their actual content. A small bug fix might be three sentences with no headers at all. A PR introducing a new subsystem might have five sections. Both are correct when they match the change.

Order matters: start with whatever orients the reader fastest (usually a summary), put context next, push edge cases, caveats, and follow-ups toward the end.

Show full SKILL.md (276 more words)Show less

Linking

If related issues or PRs exist, link them. Use GitHub's keyword syntax (Closes #123, Refs #456) where appropriate.

Style

The description should read like a senior engineer wrote it for a colleague — direct, specific, no filler. The following phrasings mark text as AI-generated and must be avoided:

  • Marketing adjectives: "comprehensive," "robust," "seamless," "powerful," "elegant," "sophisticated," "production-ready," "first-class"
  • Hedging verbs: "aims to," "seeks to," "strives to" — just say what it does
  • Filler verbs: "leverages" / "utilizes" → "uses". "ensures that X" → just state X. "facilitates" → describe the actual mechanism
  • Throat-clearing openers: "It's worth noting that," "Importantly,", "In essence,", "It should be mentioned that"
  • Closing summaries: "In summary," "Overall," "Ultimately," — stop when you're done
  • Vague abstractions: "provides functionality for X" → say what it does. "handles the logic of Y" → say how
  • Artificial parallelism: "fast, clean, and reliable" — pick the one that matters
  • "Not just X but Y" construction
  • "In order to" → "to"
  • Restating the prompt or the section header in the first sentence of a section

Write declaratively. "Adds X. X is created when Y happens." Not "This PR aims to introduce X, which would help with Y."

Use prose where bullets would fragment a thought. Use bullets where prose would become a wall. Don't enumerate every file changed.

Use lowercase headings unless the repo's existing PRs use a different convention.

Output

Return the title and description as raw markdown in separate code blocks I can paste into GitHub directly. No preamble, no commentary after the blocks.

If this PR includes noticeable UI work — new views, new sections, visual changes — remind me at the end to attach screenshots or a short screen recording to the PR for reviewer context.
