What it does

Codex Write PR Description is an agent skill from tbhb/vale-ai-tells. Write or revise PRAGENTDESC.md from the branch, its commits, and the repository template, then run the mechanical validator until it reports nothing. Use as a delegated writer from codex-pr, codex-fix-pr, or codex-merge-pr. Pass review findings or branch-drift notes in the task.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/context.sh` and `tokens.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests and Code review. The repository describes itself as: In today's rapidly evolving landscape, vale-ai-tells is a comprehensive, cutting-edge Vale style package that empowers writers to seamlessly delve into the rich tapestry of AI…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests
  • Tasks that involve Code review

Example prompts

  • “/codex-write-pr-description”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a96c5fe. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Codex Write PR Description loads about 443 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 148 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~443

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Write or revise PR_AGENTDESC.md from the branch, its commits, and the repository template, then run the mechanical validator until it reports nothing. Use as a delegated writer from codex-pr, codex-fix-pr, or codex-merge-pr. Pass review findings or branch-drift notes in the task.

Write a pull request description

Work only in the repository named by the caller. The task may also carry review findings or a note about new commits. Resolve every supplied finding.

Gather context once:

bash
bash .agents/skills/codex-write-pr-description/scripts/context.sh

Write PR_AGENTDESC.md with exactly these elements: YAML frontmatter containing base, draft, labels, reviewers, assignees, and milestone, followed by a Conventional Commits level-one title. Put every section the repository template declares after the title, in the template's order. Use a nonempty label list drawn from the context.

Describe the whole branch. Keep Summary, Why, Verification, Risk, and Related distinct. Verification names commands actually run. Avoid counts, diff narration, unsupported claims, selling language, and request/session/model/tool provenance. Preserve accurate existing prose during revisions.

Before returning, read the finished draft for closed enumerations and scope words such as only, every, and never. Establish those claims from the branch or weaken them.

Run until clean:

bash
bash .agents/skills/codex-pr/scripts/validate-description.sh

Return only one of:

text
DRAFT: WRITTEN

changed: <one line per material edit, or first draft>
addressed: <each supplied finding, or nothing requested>
text
DRAFT: BLOCKED

reason: <decision or missing prerequisite>
