What it does

Publish Changes is an agent skill from Porabuild/Poracode. Commit work, push a branch, and open a pull request with an accurate description.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 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. The repository describes itself as: One window for all your AI coding agents. Run Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, Antigravity, Cursor, and Copilot side-by-side. Terminal and chat, any layout. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/publish-changes”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bffd89d. 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

Publish Changes loads about 423 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 264 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~423

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.

Publish Changes

Get finished work onto a branch and into a pull request.

Before committing

Committing and pushing are the user's call. Do them when asked, not because the work looks done.

Check the current branch first. If it is the default branch, create a new one instead of committing to it.

Review what is actually staged. Never git add -A over a tree you have not looked at — stray artifacts, local config, and secrets get committed that way. Stage the files you changed on purpose.

The commit

Write a message that says what changed and why, in the style already used in the repository's history. Match its existing conventions rather than importing your own.

Do not skip hooks or bypass signing. If a hook fails, fix what it caught.

The pull request

The description should let a reviewer understand the change without reading every line of the diff: what it does, why, and anything that needs a decision. Note what you did not do — deliberate omissions, follow-ups, known gaps.

Do not describe tests as passing unless you ran them and saw them pass. If something is unverified, say which part and why.

When the user asked you to publish the finished work, that authorizes the commit, push, and draft PR described by this workflow. Ask only when the branch, included changes, target repository/base, or PR content is materially ambiguous. Read the created PR back after opening it and verify its head, base, title, and URL.

After

Report the branch name and the PR URL. If CI starts and fails, ci-debug covers the diagnosis.
