What it does

View PR GitHub is an agent skill from oocx/tfplan2md. View GitHub PR status/details using GitHub MCP tools (preferred) or gh CLI (fallback).

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. Compatibility notes: Preferred: GitHub MCP tools (github-mcp-server-). Fallback: GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated, plus network access.

It sits in Development, covering MCP servers and Pull requests. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Convert terraform plans (json) into human readable markdown for easier review of changes in pull requests. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve MCP servers
  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/view-pr-github”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Preferred: GitHub MCP tools (github-mcp-server-*). Fallback: GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated, plus network access.

Workflow steps

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

  1. FIRST: Use GitHub MCP tools - stable, structured, no pager/editor issues
  2. SECOND: Use scripts/pr-github.sh wrapper (for create/merge only)
  3. LAST: Use gh CLI as final fallback

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3fa4b5a. 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:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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.

  • Compatibility

    Preferred: GitHub MCP tools (github-mcp-server-*). Fallback: GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated, plus network access.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

View PR GitHub loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 394 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
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.

View PR (GitHub)

Purpose

Read pull request status/details from GitHub.

Priority order:

  1. FIRST: Use GitHub MCP tools - stable, structured, no pager/editor issues
  2. SECOND: Use scripts/pr-github.sh wrapper (for create/merge only)
  3. LAST: Use gh CLI as final fallback

Use this skill for read-only PR inspection (status, checks, reviewers, files, body). For creating/merging PRs, use the create-pr-github skill.

GitHub CLI Fallback (Last Resort)

⚠️ Only use when GitHub MCP tools are unavailable
Hard Rules
  • Prefer GitHub MCP tools when they can answer the question
  • If using gh, use a non-interactive pager for every gh call:
    • Use GH_PAGER=cat (gh-specific, overrides gh's internal pager logic)
    • Also set GH_FORCE_TTY=false to reduce TTY-driven behavior
    • Prefer structured output (--json) and keep output small with --jq when practical
  • Never run plain gh ... without GH_PAGER=cat (it may open less and block)
  • Never change global GitHub CLI config (no gh config set ...)
Show full SKILL.md (144 more words)Show less
Fallback gh Patterns

Use this prefix for every command:

bash
GH_PAGER=cat GH_FORCE_TTY=false gh ...
View PR Summary
bash
GH_PAGER=cat GH_FORCE_TTY=false gh pr view <pr-number> \
  --json number,title,state,isDraft,url,mergeStateStatus,reviewDecision
View Status Checks
bash
GH_PAGER=cat GH_FORCE_TTY=false gh pr view <pr-number> \
  --json statusCheckRollup \
  --jq '.statusCheckRollup[] | {name, status, conclusion}'
View Reviews
bash
GH_PAGER=cat GH_FORCE_TTY=false gh pr view <pr-number> \
  --json latestReviews,reviewRequests \
  --jq '{latestReviews: [.latestReviews[] | {author: .author.login, state, submittedAt}], reviewRequests: [.reviewRequests[].login]}'

When To Use Different Approaches

Prefer GitHub MCP Tools when
  • You need structured PR metadata (details, changed files, status checks, comments, reviews)
  • You want to avoid terminal-side pitfalls (auth prompts, pager behavior, large output)
  • You want operations that can be permanently allowed in VS Code
  • You are in any interactive agent session
Prefer Wrapper Scripts when
  • You're creating or merging a PR: use scripts/pr-github.sh create / scripts/pr-github.sh create-and-merge
Prefer gh CLI when (rare)
  • You need an API surface the MCP tools don't expose (use gh api for custom calls)
  • You need commands for Maintainers to reproduce locally
  • A maintainer explicitly requests CLI examples

Rule of thumb: Always start with GitHub MCP tools; only fall back to wrapper scripts for create/merge, and only use gh CLI as final resort.
