What it does

Merge PR is an agent skill from r3bl-org/r3bl-open-core. Workflow for rebasing and merging a local branch to main via a GitHub Pull Request.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 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. It works with GitHub and Git. The repository describes itself as: TUI framework and developer productivity apps in Rust 🦀. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/merge-pr”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Ensure Clean State & Push
  2. Merge via Rebase
  3. Cleanup

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 89db352. 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
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and 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.

Context cost

Merge PR loads about 312 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 183 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~312

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.

Merge PR Workflow

This skill codifies the workflow for taking a completed local task branch, pushing it to GitHub, creating a Pull Request, and merging it via rebase.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to "close the pr by rebasing and merging to main" or explicitly invokes /merge-pr.

The Workflow

Step 1: Ensure Clean State & Push
  • Verify the git working tree is clean. If not, ask the user to commit or stash changes.
  • Push the current branch to origin using git push -f origin HEAD. We use -f because local commits are frequently amended during code reviews.
Step 2: Merge via Rebase
  • Merge the existing PR into main using the rebase strategy and delete the remote branch: gh pr merge --rebase --delete-branch.
  • This ensures a linear commit history on the main branch without ugly merge commits.
Step 3: Cleanup
  • Switch back to the main branch: git checkout main.
  • Pull the latest changes to sync up with origin: git pull.
  • Prune stale remote tracking branches: git fetch --prune.
  • Delete the local task branch you just merged: git branch -D <branch-name>.
