At a glance
Calculates and keeps up to date the required code, test and other change-count header at the top of a pull request description in this repository.
- Opening a new pull request in this repository
- Calls git
- Updating an existing PR description after pushing more commits
- Checking that a PR's change-count header matches the actual diff
What it does
Every PR description must open with three lines, each on its own Markdown hard-broken line, showing added and deleted counts for code changes, tests and everything else, calculated from the net diff against the PR's actual base: git diff --numstat for a local branch, or GitHub's per-file counts once pushed, recalculated after the final push rather than summed from commit-by-commit churn.
Every changed file counts exactly once into one of three buckets: code changes covers handwritten implementation including SQL, migrations and scripts; tests covers test code, fixtures and test-only helpers; and others covers generated or vendored files, lockfiles, docs and configuration, with generated output going here even when it contains source code. Empty categories still show +0 -0, binaries get a separate mention since they have no line count, and a brief qualifier can be added. The rest of an existing description is left untouched, and it is read back afterward to confirm the header matches the current diff counts and order.
When your agent uses it
- Opening a new pull request in this repository
- Updating an existing PR description after pushing more commits
- Checking that a PR's change-count header matches the actual diff
Example prompts
- “Write the PR description header for this branch's diff against main.”
- “I just pushed more commits, recalculate the change-count header.”
- “Check whether this PR's header counts still match GitHub's diff.”
Requirements
- Git
- The gh CLI or GitHub access, to read per-file diff counts after pushing
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 42d304d. 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
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 Change-Count Header loads about 364 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 170 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

PR description
Begin every PR description with these three lines, using Markdown hard line breaks so each renders separately:
Code changes: +<added> -<deleted>
Tests: +<added> -<deleted>
Others: +<added> -<deleted>Calculate the numbers from the net diff against the PR's actual base. For a local
branch, use git diff --numstat <base>...<head>. After pushing, prefer GitHub's
per-file additions and deletions. Recalculate after the final push rather than
summing commit churn or estimating counts.
Count every changed file exactly once:
- Code changes: handwritten implementation, including SQL, migrations, styles, and executable scripts.
- Tests: test code, fixtures, snapshots, and test-only helpers.
- Others: generated or vendored files, lockfiles, documentation, configuration, and assets. Generated output belongs here even when it contains source code.
Show +0 -0 for empty categories. Binary files have no line count; mention their
count separately when present. Add a brief qualifier when useful, such as
Others: +11 -0 (generated sqlc).
Preserve the rest of an existing PR description. After creating or updating the PR, read the published description and verify that its opening lines match the current GitHub diff counts and required order.
