What it does

Raise PR is an agent skill from Shopify/flash-list, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Create a GitHub PR for FlashList. Ensures no AI/Claude attribution in commits or PR body, follows repo conventions for title, description, and test plan.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 and Test generation. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: A better list for React Native. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests
  • Tasks that involve Test generation

Example prompts

  • “/raise-pr”

Requirements

  • A credential in AGENT_PR_TOKEN
  • A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. Kill Background Processes (MANDATORY on CI)
  2. Create Branch and Commit
  3. Self-Review
  4. Create the PR
  5. Post-Creation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 527d767. 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • AGENT_PR_TOKEN
    • GH_TOKEN
    • SHOPIFY_GH_ACCESS_TOKEN
    • GITHUB_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Raise PR loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 457 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

description
Create a GitHub PR for FlashList. Ensures no AI/Claude attribution in commits or PR body, follows repo conventions for title, description, and test plan.

Raise a FlashList PR

Prerequisite: Run the review-and-test skill first. All checks must pass and device testing must be done before raising a PR. DO NOT SKIP.

Rules

  1. NEVER push directly to main — always create a branch and open a PR.
  2. NEVER mention Claude, AI, or any AI tool in commit messages, PR title, PR body, or comments. No Co-Authored-By AI lines. The PR must read as if written entirely by a human.
  3. Only raise a PR when explicitly asked by the user (exception: on CI, raise directly as part of the fix workflow).

Step 0 — Kill Background Processes (MANDATORY on CI)

Before creating the branch and PR, kill any background processes you started (Metro, emulators, etc.). On CI, leftover processes prevent the GitHub Actions job from exiting.

bash
lsof -ti:8081 | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null || true

Step 1 — Create Branch and Commit

Branch naming
fix/issue-<number>-<short-slug>
feat/<short-slug>
refactor/<short-slug>
Commit message format
fix(<scope>): <concise description>

Fixes #<number>

Scope examples: layout, hooks, scroll, sticky-headers, recycling, viewability.

Do NOT include:

  • Co-Authored-By lines
  • Any mention of Claude, AI, Anthropic, or automated tools
  • Generated by or Assisted by attributions
Commands
bash
git checkout -b fix/issue-<number>-<short-slug>
git add <specific files>
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
fix(<scope>): <description>

Fixes #<number>
EOF
)"
git push -u origin fix/issue-<number>-<short-slug>

Step 2 — Self-Review

Run git diff HEAD~1 and check for:

  • Leftover debug code — console.log, fetch("http://localhost:..."), temporary comments
  • Unrelated changes — files or hunks that aren't part of the fix
  • Co-Authored-By lines — check with git log -1 --format=full
  • Fixture index.js left with forceRTL(true) — always revert before committing

Quick check:

bash
grep -r "console\.\(log\|warn\)\|localhost:9876\|forceRTL(true)" src/ fixture/react-native/index.js --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.js"

Fix any issues found, then amend the commit before proceeding.


Step 3 — Create the PR

PR title
  • Under 70 characters
  • Same format as commit: fix(<scope>): <description>
Show full SKILL.md (213 more words)Show less
PR body template

Always use --body-file — inline --body with markdown # headers triggers Claude Code permission checks and wastes turns. Use the Write tool to create the file (not cat, echo, or touch, which may be blocked by sandbox on CI).

Write the following to /tmp/pr-body.md using the Write tool:

markdown
## Description

<1-3 sentences: what the bug was and how the fix works>

Fixes #<number>

## Reviewers' hat-rack :tophat:

<What reviewers should focus on — layout logic, hook behavior, edge cases, etc.>

## Screenshots or videos

<Before/after screenshots if applicable>

## Test plan

- [ ] Unit tests pass (`yarn test`)
- [ ] Type check passes (`yarn type-check`)
- [ ] Lint passes (`yarn lint`)
- [ ] Verified on iOS simulator
- [ ] No regressions on related screens
      EOF

GH_TOKEN="$AGENT_PR_TOKEN" gh pr create \
 --title "fix(<scope>): <description>" \
 --body-file /tmp/pr-body.md

CRITICAL — TOKEN VERIFICATION (read this before running gh pr create)

  1. First, verify the token is available: [ -n "$AGENT_PR_TOKEN" ] && echo "token ok" || echo "TOKEN MISSING" — do NOT echo the token value itself.
  2. You MUST use GH_TOKEN="$AGENT_PR_TOKEN" gh pr create ... — never bare gh pr create.
  3. PRs created with the default GITHUB_TOKEN show as app/github-actions and cannot be merged.
  4. After creating the PR, verify the author: gh pr view --json author --jq '.author.login' — it must NOT be app/github-actions.

If AGENT_PR_TOKEN is empty, try SHOPIFY_GH_ACCESS_TOKEN as fallback: GH_TOKEN="${AGENT_PR_TOKEN:-$SHOPIFY_GH_ACCESS_TOKEN}" gh pr create ...

Before running gh pr create, double-check:

  • Token is verified (see above)
  • No mention of Claude, AI, Anthropic, or any AI tool anywhere
  • Description explains the "what" and "why" clearly
  • Test plan is specific to the change

Step 4 — Post-Creation

Return the PR URL to the user.

If the user asks to update the PR (interactive only — not available on CI):

bash
git add <files>
git commit --amend --no-edit
git push --force-with-lease

On CI, create a new commit instead of amending — force-push is not permitted.
