engram-branch-pr

engram-branch-pr is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Gentleman-Programming/engram. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,808 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pull-request workflow for Engram, with issue approval, branch naming, tests, labels, and automated checks required before merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing or opening a pull request: confirm the issue, create a correctly named branch, run tests, use the review template, add one type label, and wait for checks.
Why use it?
It prevents review work from being blocked by missing issue links, invalid branch names, incorrect labels, or unverified changes.

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

engram-branch-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 4d ago.

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 — 220 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Creating a pull request for any change
  • Preparing a branch for submission
  • Helping a contributor open a PR

Critical Rules

  1. Every PR MUST link an approved issue — no exceptions
  2. Every PR MUST have exactly one type:* label
  3. 5 automated checks must pass before merge is possible
  4. Blank PRs without issue linkage will be blocked by GitHub Actions

Workflow

1. Verify issue has `status:approved` label
2. Create branch: feat/*, fix/*, docs/*, refactor/*, chore/*
3. Implement changes
4. Run tests locally (unit + e2e)
5. Open PR using the template
6. Add exactly one type:* label
7. Wait for 5 automated checks to pass

Branch Naming (enforced by GitHub ruleset)

Branch names are validated by a GitHub ruleset. Pushes that don't match will be rejected.

Pattern: ^(feat|fix|chore|docs|style|refactor|perf|test|build|ci|revert)\/[a-z0-9._-]+$

Type Branch pattern Example
Feature feat/<description> feat/json-export-command
Bug fix fix/<description> fix/duplicate-observation-insert
Chore chore/<description> chore/bump-bubbletea-v0.26
Docs docs/<description> docs/api-reference-update
Style style/<description> style/fix-tui-alignment
Refactor refactor/<description> refactor/extract-query-sanitizer
Performance perf/<description> perf/optimize-fts5-queries
Test test/<description> test/add-sync-coverage
Build build/<description> build/update-go-toolchain
CI ci/<description> ci/split-e2e-job
Revert revert/<description> revert/broken-migration

Rules:

  • Description MUST be lowercase
  • Only a-z, 0-9, ., _, - allowed in description
  • No uppercase, no spaces, no special characters

PR Body Format

The PR template is at .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md. Every PR body MUST contain:

1. Linked Issue (REQUIRED)

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.
