What it does

Gh PR Workflow is an agent skill from Zfinix/aster. Working with GitHub pull requests, issues, and the API through the gh CLI. Use whenever the task involves reviewing, creating, or commenting on a PR or issue, or calling the GitHub API.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 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: An open-source agent harness for software work. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The task involves reviewing
  • Commenting on a PR
  • Calling the GitHub API

Example prompts

  • “/gh-pr-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Use gh for GitHub operations. Structured queries beat scraping
  2. Big diffs go to a file, not the conversation.
  3. Draft first, post on approval. Write the review or comment body to a
  4. One PR at a time, one comment per issue found. Do not batch several
  5. Auth errors are a full stop. A 401 or gh auth status failure means

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f77a5b4. 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

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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

Gh PR Workflow loads about 439 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 238 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~439

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 workflow

  1. Use gh for GitHub operations. Structured queries beat scraping: gh pr view 12 --json title,body,files,comments, gh pr checks 12, gh issue list --limit 10.
  2. Big diffs go to a file, not the conversation. gh pr diff 12 > /tmp/pr12.diff, then search and read slices of that file. Never print a whole PR diff into the chat.
  3. Draft first, post on approval. Write the review or comment body to a scratch file, show it to the user, and only after they approve post it: gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/12/reviews --method POST --input review.json. Never post to GitHub as a side effect of being asked to "review".
  4. One PR at a time, one comment per issue found. Do not batch several PRs' feedback into one pass, and do not stack multiple problems into one comment.
  5. Auth errors are a full stop. A 401 or gh auth status failure means tell the user to run gh auth login. Retrying, or switching to raw git pushes, will not help.
  6. PR bodies: summary plus test plan. Short paragraphs over prose walls. No attribution footers unless asked.
  7. Know which subcommands write. Reads (view, list, diff, checks, api GET, search) run freely; writes (create, edit, merge, close, comment, review, any --method POST/PATCH/PUT/DELETE, pr checkout, release create) change state and will ask the user for approval. Batch reads first, then propose the writes as one step instead of interleaving.
