OpenHarness: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/pr-merge/SKILL.md

pr-merge is a skill for Claude Code from HKUDS/OpenHarness. It costs 59 tokens per session (818 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for merging GitHub pull requests, which are proposed code changes from contributors. It emphasizes keeping the original contributor’s authorship when merging or resolving conflicts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list open pull requests, choose a merge approach, merge clean changes, resolve conflicts, or selectively include parts of a contribution.
Why use it?
Manual copying or rewriting can lose credit and make it harder to track where the contribution came from.

About the project

OpenHarness is infrastructure for AI agents that provides tool use, skills, memory, and coordination between multiple agents. Its personal agent, ohmo, uses this infrastructure to work over long sessions through chat platforms and to write code, run tests, and open pull requests. The catalogue add-ons extend or configure workflows for agents running on OpenHarness.

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

pr-merge 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 9d 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.

PR Merge — Contributor-First Pull Request Integration

Merge external pull requests while maximizing original author attribution. Core principle: merge first, resolve conflicts after — never rewrite a contributor's work from scratch.

Core Principles

  1. Preserve authorship — use gh pr merge --squash for clean PRs. For manual merges, use --author="Name <email>".
  2. Merge first, fix after — accept the PR's approach even if it differs from local style. Fix conflicts in a separate commit.
  3. Selective merge is OK — exclude files with --exclude when a PR contains features already implemented locally. Document what was excluded.
  4. Never git apply + self-commit — this loses author attribution entirely.

Workflow

1. Triage Open PRs

gh pr list --repo OWNER/REPO --state open \
  --json number,title,author,additions,deletions,mergeable

Classify each PR: merge directly, merge with conflict resolution, selective merge, or close.

2. Merge Clean PRs via GitHub

Prefer gh pr merge — preserves author automatically:

gh pr merge NUMBER --repo OWNER/REPO --squash \
  --subject "feat: description (#NUMBER)"

3. Handle Conflicting PRs Locally

git fetch origin pull/NUMBER/head:pr-NUMBER
git merge pr-NUMBER --no-edit
# Resolve conflicts keeping both sides where possible
git add -A && git commit --no-edit

4. Selective Merge (Skip Some Files)

When a PR contains features already implemented locally:

gh pr diff NUMBER --repo OWNER/REPO | \
  git apply --exclude='path/to/skip.py' --exclude='CHANGELOG.md'
git commit --author="Author Name <author@email>" \
  -m "feat: description (#NUMBER)

Cherry-picked from PR #NUMBER. Excluded: file.py (already implemented)."

5. Close Duplicate/Superseded PRs

gh pr close NUMBER --repo OWNER/REPO \
  --comment "Fixed via PR #OTHER. Thank you for the contribution!"

6. Post-Merge Verification

python -m ruff check src/ tests/    # lint
python -m pytest tests/ -q          # unit tests
git push origin main                # push

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
