What it does

Forge PR is an agent skill from srid/emanote. Write engaging PR titles and descriptions for any forge (GitHub today; Bitbucket planned). Use when creating or updating PRs. Leads with narrative paragraphs and reaches for lists, tables, and diagrams when content is genuinely structured.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k 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 Diagrams. It works with Bitbucket and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Emanate a structured view of your plain-text notes.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Diagrams

Example prompts

  • “/forge-pr”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Opening paragraph — What this PR does and why, in 2-3 sentences. Bold the key behavioral change. If there's a motivating problem, state it…
  2. Details — paragraph(s), bullet list, table, or fenced diagram, whichever fits the shape of the content (see Use structure when content is…
  3. Anything notable — Breaking changes, migration steps, or things reviewers should pay attention to. Only if applicable. Use > blockquote…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d01037. 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
    • nix
    • claude
    • opencode
    • codex

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Forge PR loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,079 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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 1,079 words (~2,554 tokens).

“Write PR descriptions that fellow devs actually want to read. The writing guidance below is forge-agnostic — only the gh commands in the "Updating existing PRs" section are GitHub-specific today. Bitbucket support is tracked in srid/agency#10.”
