What it does

Novu Prepare PR is an agent skill from novuhq/novu. Post-implementation PR prep for Novu feature branches — quality passes, commit/PR hygiene, CI triage, and review feedback. Use after feature work is done, when the user asks to prepare a PR, ship a branch, fix CI, address review comments, or babysit a pull request before merge.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Failing and flaky tests and Pull requests. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: The open-source communication infrastructure for agents and products.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to prepare a PR
  • Address review comments
  • Babysit a pull request before merge

Example prompts

  • “/novu-prepare-pr”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Scope & diff sanity
  2. Quality passes
  3. Security check (conditional)
  4. Local validation
  5. Commit hygiene
  6. Open or update PR
  7. CI triage & fix
  8. Review comments
  9. Merge-ready check

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c4d3eda. 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
    • pnpm
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, pnpm and gh, 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

Novu Prepare PR loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 665 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 665 words (~1,483 tokens).

“Run this after implementation is complete on a feature branch. Do not replan or expand scope unless review/CI exposes a real gap.”
