What it does

Merge is an agent skill from remotion-dev/remotion, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Wait for a Remotion pull request to become mergeable, handle merge conflicts, distinguish genuine CI failures from flakes, rerun flaky checks through the flake skill, and merge the PR. Use when asked to run /merge, merge a current PR after checks pass, or shepherd a Remotion PR through CI to merge.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 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 Failing and flaky tests, Video production and Git workflow. It works with Remotion. The repository describes itself as: 🎥 Make videos programmatically with React.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to run /merge
  • Merge a current PR after checks pass
  • Shepherd a Remotion PR through CI to merge

Example prompts

  • “/merge”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the PR
  2. If the PR is draft, closed, blocked by requested changes, missing required approval, or otherwise not eligible to merge for a non-CI…
  3. If GitHub reports merge conflicts, resolve them using the pr-ready workflow. Commit and push the resolution when needed, then start this…
  4. Wait for checks
  5. If all required checks pass and the PR is mergeable, merge it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4d2a66f. 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

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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 loads about 508 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 218 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~508

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 218 words (~508 tokens).

“Use this skill for an existing pull request in the Remotion monorepo.”
