What it does

PR Gate Check is an agent skill from oracle/graalpython, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Check gate status for a Bitbucket PR by resolving the PR head commit, finding the gate merge commit, inspecting builds on that merge commit, and summarizing root-cause failures with actionable next steps.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 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 Root cause analysis. It works with Bitbucket, Java and Python. The repository describes itself as: GraalPy – A high-performance embeddable Python 3 runtime for Java.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Root cause analysis

Example prompts

  • “/pr-gate-check”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Get PR commits and identify PR head commit (first commit in gdev-cli bitbucket commits output)
  2. Fetch refs and locate merge commit whose parent includes PR head

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2b93834. 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
    • rg

    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

PR Gate Check loads about 637 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 283 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~637

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 283 words (~637 tokens).

“Use this workflow when asked for gate status of a PR. Usually the builds are tied to a merge commit generated on Bitbucket, so this skill goes through finding the remote merge commit.”
