What it does

Pull Requests is an agent skill from lightly-ai/lightly-studio. Read when opening a pull request, writing a PR description, splitting work into PRs, or deciding whether a change is too large to review. Covers the size targets, the one-purpose-per-PR rule, what makes a PR reviewable on its own, and the exceptions for dependency bumps, codemods, migrations, and generated files.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 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: LightlyStudio - The Unified Data Platform for Multimodal ML. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/pull-requests”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Keep PRs Small
  2. One Purpose Per PR
  3. Every PR Must Be Reviewable on Its Own
  4. Description & Suggested Reviewers

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 66da613. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Pull Requests loads about 709 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 399 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~709

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.

Read when opening a pull request, writing a PR description, splitting work into PRs, or deciding whether a change is too large to review. Covers the size targets, the one-purpose-per-PR rule, what makes a PR reviewable on its own, and the exceptions for dependency bumps, codemods, migrations, and generated files.

Pull Request Guidelines

Break changes down into small, focused pull requests that can be easily reviewed. As a rule of thumb, a PR should be reviewable in under 15 minutes.

Guidelines

1. Keep PRs Small
  • Ideal PR size is under 100 changed lines. Under 200 lines is usually acceptable. Larger changes should be split into multiple PRs unless there is a reason not to.
  • It is okay to have a larger PR if it is mostly mechanical changes, such as generated files, test data, or formatting. But the core PR logic should ideally remain under 100 lines.
  • Use stacked PRs to work on larger features without being blocked by review.
2. One Purpose Per PR
  • A pull request should do one thing only. Do not mix unrelated changes in the same PR.
  • Minor improvements to the neighborhood of the main change are ok, but larger refactors should be in a separate PR.
3. Every PR Must Be Reviewable on Its Own

A reviewer should be able to understand what changed, why, and how it was validated. That usually means:

  • In the code
    • clear comments for non-obvious logic
    • TODO comments for future work
    • tests for new behavior when appropriate
    • updated docs when user-facing behavior changed
    • no unrelated formatting or cleanup noise
  • In the PR on GitHub
    • clear PR description
    • screenshots or recordings for UI changes
    • line comments for non-obvious code changes

In some cases, the tests or a docs change may be in a separate PR if it would be too large to review together.

4. Description & Suggested Reviewers
  • Follow .github/pull_request_template.md. Keep the description short and human readable.
  • Propose a few short bullet points that say which problem the PR addresses and how it is solved. Write them so that a reader who does not know the code can follow.
  • Assign the reviewer most likely to help, based on git blame/git log history of the touched files or lines, and recommend an alternative one at the end of the description.
  • For a stack of PRs, prefer the same reviewer(s) for each item in the stack, unless the items can be reviewed independently.

Exceptions

Some PRs will not fit the normal shape. Examples:

  • dependency upgrades
  • mechanical codemods
  • large test updates
  • schema or migration changes
  • generated files

In those cases, optimize for reviewer clarity:

  • explain why the PR is large
  • separate mechanical and logical changes where possible
  • call out risk areas explicitly
