What it does

Merging PRs is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Merge a PR into master through the Trunk merge queue and babysit it until it lands. Enqueue with the trunk merge CLI (the /trunk merge comment is the fallback), then watch trunk merge status and the PR state until it is MERGED or the queue kicks it out, reporting Trunk's own reason for the terminal transition. Use when asked to merge a PR, "merge when ready", "land it", "ship it", to merge a whole stack (enqueue the top PR — the queue merges it and every layer below atomically), to get a PR approved by stamphog…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: :hedgehog: PostHog is the leading platform for building self-driving products. Our developer tools – AI observability, analytics, session replay, flags, experiments, error…

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to merge a PR
  • Merge when ready
  • Merge a whole stack (enqueue the top PR — the queue merges it and every layer below atomically)
  • Get a PR approved by stamphog (MCP review request first

Example prompts

  • “merge when ready”
  • “land it”
  • “ship it”
  • “/merging-prs”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Preflight
  2. Enqueue
  3. Watch until it lands
  4. Handle failure
  5. Cancel

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10f9ad7. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • mcp.trunk.io

    Also links to:

    • trunk.io

    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

Merging PRs loads about 4.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 180 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,191 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~180
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.1k

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 2,191 words (~4,074 tokens).

“Merges into master go exclusively through the Trunk merge queue. gh pr merge and the GitHub merge button are blocked by branch ruleset. To merge, you enqueue the PR with the trunk CLI, then watch it until Trunk lands it…”
