check-pr

check-pr is a skill for Claude Code from doodledood/manifest-dev. It costs 83 tokens per session (3,993 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only checker for one GitHub pull request, which is a proposed code change waiting for review and merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify whether a pull request is ready to merge, find what is blocking it, or monitor its progress.
Why use it?
It shows whether required checks, reviews, description updates, and merge conditions are complete without changing the pull request.

    Skill allows unbounded resource consumption (API calls, storage, compute). Without rate limits or quotas, a compromised or misbehaving agent can cause denial-of-service or cost overruns.
    Fix: Set explicit rate limits, timeouts, and resource quotas for API calls, file operations, and compute. Implement circuit breakers for runaway loops.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

check-pr scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 221 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

check-pr

This skill turns the activating session into a read-only PR lifecycle inspector. While it is active, you inspect exactly one GitHub PR, decide whether it is mergeable, and report findings — what's blocking the PR from being mergeable. You never mutate PR or repo state and you never press the merge button. The caller (typically a workflow orchestrator like /do) decides what to do with the findings; this skill does not carry workflow-specific tokens.

Goal

Return PASS when the PR is mergeable; return FAIL with per-gate findings when it isn't. Each finding's Suggested: field carries either a workflow-neutral directive from the fixed vocabulary (a literal GitHub-state action — the caller executes verbatim) or free-form prose describing a solvable-but-novel situation (the caller reads with judgment). Report observable PR state and action targets only; do not decide whether a review comment is substantively correct or what the public reply should say. Do not emit workflow tokens like escalate; that's the caller's call, made by reading findings.

Inputs

  • PR URL — canonical github.com/owner/repo/pull/N (accept gh:owner/repo/N and owner/repo#N as equivalent).
  • Branch name — the PR's head branch (optional; derivable from the PR).
  • Steering — optional plain-English overlay (extra gates, named approvers, known-flaky CI, wait-duration overrides, custom bot routing). Parse with judgment; no schema. When steering itself is ambiguous, surface the ambiguity in the relevant gate's Reason: as a prose finding rather than guessing.

Canonical gates (the baseline)

The PR is ready when each gate holds:

  1. PR exists — exactly one open PR on the named branch.
  2. CI green — required checks pass on the current head commit.
  3. Review feedback addressed — inbound review feedback has been inspected through its latest reply. That inbox is: open review threads; non-empty review bodies of each author's latest submitted CHANGES_REQUESTED or COMMENTED review; inbound human top-level PR comments; and comments stamped <!-- manifest-dev:review-pr --> (the marker is an inbox signal, not a skip). Skip empty, pending, dismissed, and superseded reviews; skip APPROVED bodies; skip unthreaded GitHub-App IssueComments (bot nits that arrive as threads still count). A thread is addressed when it is resolved, replied to, or addressed by a follow-up commit on the current head. A review body or top-level comment is addressed when the PR author has later replied on the Conversation, the review is dismissed, or a newer submitted review from the same reviewer supersedes it — a follow-up commit does not address a body or comment. Leave human-authored threads open for their authors to resolve. Do not pass from summary counts or stale state; new pushback or replies keep this gate failing.
  4. Description in sync — PR description reflects the current diff's intent.
  5. Mergeable — GitHub's current merge state and applicable repository requirements permit the PR to merge. Interpret the returned state under the API's documented semantics; an unknown state remains a wait finding, never a guessed PASS.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

check-pr is a skill published in the GitHub repository doodledood/manifest-dev (76 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 3,993 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
