What it does

PR Description is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a clear pull-request description that gets reviewed fast and merged with confidence, from a git diff, branch summary, or commit list. Use when opening a PR, summarizing a change for review, documenting code changes, or asked to write a PR/merge-request description. Produces a structured PR: what changed and why, how it was tested, risk and rollout, and a focused reviewer guide — so the reviewer understands intent before reading a single diff line.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 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 Git. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Summarizing a change for review
  • Documenting code changes
  • Asked to write a PR/merge-request description

Example prompts

  • “/pr-description”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

PR Description loads about 848 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 431 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~118
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~848

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.

Write a clear pull-request description that gets reviewed fast and merged with confidence, from a git diff, branch summary, or commit list. Use when opening a PR, summarizing a change for review, documenting code changes, or asked to write a PR/merge-request description. Produces a structured PR: what changed and why, how it was tested, risk and rollout, and a focused reviewer guide — so the reviewer understands intent before reading a single diff line.

PR Description Skill

A good PR description is a gift to the reviewer: it explains intent before they read the diff, so review is fast and confident. This skill turns a change into a structured PR write-up — what and why, how it was tested, the risk, and where to focus — the difference between a one-pass approval and three rounds of confused back-and-forth.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

  • The change — what was done (the diff summary, commits, or a description).
  • The why — the problem/issue it solves (link the ticket).
  • Testing — how it was verified (tests added, manual steps, edge cases checked).
  • Risk & rollout — blast radius, migrations, flags, backward compatibility, how to roll back.

Output Format

[Concise, imperative PR title] (e.g. "Add rate limiting to the login endpoint")

What & why — 2–4 sentences: the problem and what this change does about it. Link the issue (Closes #123).

Changes — the key changes as bullets (the substantive ones, not every file). Group if large.

How it was tested — tests added/updated, and the manual verification + edge cases checked. Be specific enough that the reviewer trusts it works.

Risk & rollout — blast radius, any migration/flag/config, backward-compatibility notes, and how to roll back if it goes wrong. Say "low risk, no migration" if so.

Reviewer guide — where to start, what to scrutinize, anything intentionally out of scope or deferred (with a follow-up note). Call out anything you're unsure about and want eyes on.

Screenshots / output (if UI or user-facing) — before/after.

Keep it proportional — a one-line fix gets a short description; a big change earns the full structure.

Quality Checks

  • Title is concise and imperative; the why and linked issue are clear up front
  • Changes summarize intent, not a file-by-file dump
  • Testing is specific (what was run, which edge cases) — not "tested locally"
  • Risk, rollout, and rollback are addressed (even if "low risk, none")
  • A reviewer guide points to where to focus and flags anything uncertain
  • Length is proportional to the size of the change

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not just paste the commit list — explain intent the diff can't convey
  • Do not say "tested" without saying how — give the reviewer something to trust
  • Do not hide risk or migrations — surface them so they're reviewed deliberately
  • Do not write a novel for a one-line change — match effort to size
  • Do not omit the "what to focus on" — undirected review is slow review

Based On

Code-review and PR best practices (explain intent, make review easy, surface risk) — modern engineering norms.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Open a PR."
  • "Summarize a change for review."
  • "Document code changes."
  • "Write a PR/merge-request description."
