What it does

Creating PR is an agent skill from spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills. Create a clean, review-ready pull request with a good title, structured description, linked issues, and appropriate reviewers.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 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. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome skills for Cursor. The licence is CC0-1.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/creating-pr”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Prepare the Branch
  2. Write the Title
  3. Write the Description
  4. Self-Review
  5. Create the PR
  6. Request Review

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99cd265. 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
    • npm
    • gh
    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, npm, gh and npx, 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

Creating PR loads about 685 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 257 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~685

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:80
    for files that shouldn't be committed (`.env`, lockfile conflicts)

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.

Creating a PR

Package work into a pull request that's easy to review and merge.

Workflow

1. Prepare the Branch

Before creating the PR:

bash
# Ensure branch is up to date with base
git fetch origin
git rebase origin/main  # or merge, depending on project convention

# Check what will be in the PR
git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline
git diff origin/main --stat

Squash fixup commits if the project prefers clean history. Keep logical commits separate if the project prefers granular history.

2. Write the Title

Format: <type>: <short description>

TypeWhen
featNew feature
fixBug fix
refactorCode change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
docsDocumentation only
testAdding or fixing tests
choreBuild, CI, deps, or tooling
perfPerformance improvement

Examples:

  • feat: add dark mode toggle to settings page
  • fix: prevent duplicate form submissions on checkout
  • refactor: extract auth middleware into shared module
3. Write the Description

Use this structure:

markdown
## Summary

1-3 sentences explaining what this PR does and why.

Closes #123

## Changes

- Added `ThemeToggle` component with system/light/dark options
- Updated `Layout` to read theme from context
- Added theme persistence to localStorage

## Test Plan

- [ ] Toggle between light/dark/system themes
- [ ] Refresh page — theme persists
- [ ] Check no flash of unstyled content on load
4. Self-Review

Before requesting review:

  • Read every line of the diff yourself
  • Remove debug code (console.log, TODO, commented-out code)
  • Verify tests pass: npm test
  • Verify types: npx tsc --noEmit
  • Verify lint: npm run lint
  • Check for files that shouldn't be committed (.env, lockfile conflicts)
5. Create the PR
bash
git push -u origin HEAD
gh pr create --title "<title>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
...

## Changes
...

## Test Plan
...
EOF
)"
6. Request Review
  • Tag the appropriate reviewers (code owners, domain experts)
  • If the PR is large (>400 lines), add a comment explaining the best order to review files
  • If the PR depends on another PR, note it in the description
  • Label the PR appropriately (feature, bug, breaking change, etc.)

Tips

  • Small PRs get reviewed faster — aim for <300 lines changed
  • If a PR is too big, split it into stacked PRs
  • Screenshots/recordings for UI changes make review much faster
  • Draft PRs are useful for early feedback before the work is complete
