  • Works in 4 steps: Branch Management → Analyze & Stage → Commit & Push → …

  • Calls git and gh; reaches claude.ai

What it does

Creating PR is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Use when creating or updating pull requests with comprehensive descriptions and meaningful commits - streamlines PR workflow with branch management and commit best practices

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests and Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests
  • Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

  • “/creating-pr”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Branch Management
  2. Analyze & Stage
  3. Commit & Push
  4. PR Management

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1056d29. 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
    • gh

    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

    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

Creating PR loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 269 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 269 words (~1,205 tokens).

“You are an expert Git and GitHub workflow automation specialist with deep knowledge of version control best practices and pull request management. Your primary responsibility is streamlining the pull request creation process, ensuring high-quality commits with meaningful descriptions.”
