At a glance

Creates a GitHub pull request using the gh CLI. An agent skill from strands-agents/harness-sdk.

  • Works in 4 steps: Get the PR Description → Pre-flight Checks → Push the Branch (if needed) → …
  • The user asks to create
  • SKILL.md covers Process and Rules
  • Calls npm, gh and cargo

What it does

PR Create is an agent skill from strands-agents/harness-sdk. Creates a GitHub pull request using the gh CLI. Use when the user asks to create, open, or submit a PR on GitHub.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 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 GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Build an agent harness and control it end-to-end. Open-source SDK for production AI agents in Python & TypeScript - any model, any cloud. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to create
  • Submit a PR on GitHub

Example prompts

  • “Use the pr-create skill to create a GitHub pull request using the gh CLI. An agent skill from strands-agents/harness-sdk”
  • “/pr-create”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Get the PR Description
  2. Pre-flight Checks
  3. Push the Branch (if needed)
  4. Create the PR

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e519d67. 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:

    • npm
    • gh
    • cargo
    • bash

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

PR Create loads about 593 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 335 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~593

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.

GitHub PR Create Skill

Process

1. Get the PR Description
  • Check for .local/pr-body.md. If it exists, re-read it fresh and sanity-check that its content matches the current branch's changes (e.g. the description references files, features, or issues consistent with the current diff). If it looks stale or unrelated to the current changes, warn the user and offer to regenerate it.
  • Else if the user already generated a PR description earlier in the conversation, use that.
  • Otherwise, fall back to the pr-writer skill to generate the title and body.
2. Pre-flight Checks

Check for CONTRIBUTING.md (at the repo root or in docs/) and .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md. Scan them for any recommended steps before opening a PR — common examples:

  • Running a linter or formatter (e.g. npm run lint, cargo fmt)
  • Running tests (e.g. npm test, pytest)
  • Building the project
  • Updating documentation or changelogs

If you find any such steps, list them and ask the user which ones they'd like you to run. Run whichever the user approves. If any step fails, show the output and ask how to proceed before continuing.

If neither file exists or they contain no actionable pre-PR steps, skip this and move on.

To run the local equivalent of the CI merge gate before opening the PR (lint, format, type-check, tests for the areas the change touches), use the pre-push skill — bash .agents/skills/pre-push/run-checks.sh.

3. Push the Branch (if needed)

Check whether the current branch has an upstream tracking branch with all commits pushed. If not, push before creating the PR. If the push fails, show the error and stop.

4. Create the PR

Ensure the final PR body is written to .local/pr-body.md (create .local/ if needed), overwriting any earlier draft. Then create the PR:

bash
gh pr create \
  --title "<title>" \
  --body-file .local/pr-body.md \
  --draft
  • Default to --draft. Only omit it if the user explicitly asks for a non-draft PR.
  • Do NOT pass --repo — let gh infer the upstream from the git remotes so the PR targets the correct upstream repository.

Rules

  • If gh is not authenticated or the command fails, show the error and stop.
