What it does

PR Writer is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Create pull requests following Sentry's engineering practices.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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. It works with Sentry and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/pr-writer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify Branch State
  2. Analyze Changes
  3. Write the PR Description
  4. Create the PR

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. 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
    • git

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • develop.sentry.dev

    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

PR Writer loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 435 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

PR Writer

Create pull requests following Sentry's engineering practices.

Requires: GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated and available.

When to Use

  • You are ready to open a pull request and need a structured description based on the committed branch diff.
  • You want the PR body to capture what changed, why it changed, and any reviewer context.
  • You are using GitHub CLI and need a repeatable PR-writing workflow rather than writing the description ad hoc.

Prerequisites

Before creating a PR, ensure all changes are committed. If there are uncommitted changes, run the available commit skill first to commit them properly.

bash
# Check for uncommitted changes
git status --porcelain

If the output shows any uncommitted changes (modified, added, or untracked files that should be included), invoke the available commit skill before proceeding. If the client requires qualified skill names, use the qualifier for the plugin that supplied this skill.

Process

Step 1: Verify Branch State
bash
# Detect the default branch — note the output for use in subsequent commands
gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name'
bash
# Check current branch and status (substitute the detected branch name above for BASE)
git status
git log BASE..HEAD --oneline

Ensure:

  • All changes are committed
  • Branch is up to date with remote
  • Changes are rebased on the base branch if needed
Step 2: Analyze Changes

Review what will be included in the PR:

bash
# See all commits that will be in the PR (substitute detected branch name for BASE)
git log BASE..HEAD

# See the full diff
git diff BASE...HEAD

Understand the scope and purpose of all changes before writing the description.

Step 3: Write the PR Description

Use this structure for PR descriptions (ignoring any repository PR templates):

markdown
<brief description of what the PR does>

<why these changes are being made - the motivation>

<alternative approaches considered, if any>

<any additional context reviewers need>

Do NOT include:

  • "Test plan" sections
  • Checkbox lists of testing steps
  • Redundant summaries of the diff

Do include:

  • Clear explanation of what and why
  • Links to relevant issues or tickets
  • Context that isn't obvious from the code
  • Notes on specific areas that need careful review
Step 4: Create the PR
bash
gh pr create --draft --title "<type>(<scope>): <description>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
<description body here>
EOF
)"

Title format follows commit conventions:

  • feat(scope): Add new feature
  • fix(scope): Fix the bug
  • ref: Refactor something

PR Description Examples

Feature PR
markdown
Add Slack thread replies for alert notifications

When an alert is updated or resolved, we now post a reply to the original
Slack thread instead of creating a new message. This keeps related
notifications grouped and reduces channel noise.

Previously considered posting edits to the original message, but threading
better preserves the timeline of events and works when the original message
is older than Slack's edit window.

Refs SENTRY-1234
Bug Fix PR
markdown
Handle null response in user API endpoint

The user endpoint could return null for soft-deleted accounts, causing
dashboard crashes when accessing user properties. This adds a null check
and returns a proper 404 response.

Found while investigating SENTRY-5678.

Fixes SENTRY-5678
Refactor PR
markdown
Extract validation logic to shared module

Moves duplicate validation code from the alerts, issues, and projects
endpoints into a shared validator class. No behavior change.

This prepares for adding new validation rules in SENTRY-9999 without
duplicating logic across endpoints.

Issue References

Reference issues in the PR body:

Fixes #1234Closes GitHub issue on merge
Fixes SENTRY-1234Closes Sentry issue
Refs GH-1234Links without closing
Refs LINEAR-ABC-123Links Linear issue

Guidelines

  • One PR per feature/fix - Don't bundle unrelated changes
  • Keep PRs reviewable - Smaller PRs get faster, better reviews
  • Explain the why - Code shows what; description explains why
  • Mark WIP early - Use draft PRs for early feedback

Editing Existing PRs

If you need to update a PR after creation, use gh api instead of gh pr edit:

bash
# Update PR description
gh api -X PATCH repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/PR_NUMBER -f body="$(cat <<'EOF'
Updated description here
EOF
)"

# Update PR title
gh api -X PATCH repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/PR_NUMBER -f title='new: Title here'

# Update both
gh api -X PATCH repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/PR_NUMBER \
  -f title='new: Title' \
  -f body='New description'

Note: gh pr edit is currently broken due to GitHub's Projects (classic) deprecation.

References

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
