What is generate-pr-notes?

A tool that turns Git commits or branch changes into pull request notes. A pull request is a request to review and merge code, and the notes explain what changed and why.

Use it when opening a pull request, preparing its description, or summarizing the changes in a branch compared with a base branch.

It removes the need to manually compare changes and write a structured summary for reviewers. It can describe the title, main changes, technical details, and breaking 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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00066	$0.02608
Opus 5	$0.00033	$0.01304
Sonnet 5	$0.00013	$0.00522
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00261

Security

Grade A, and why

generate-pr-notes 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 6d 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.

Dependencies

No external skills or MCPs required. Requires git to be available in the shell.

Automatically generate pull request notes based on git changes.

Description

This skill analyzes git changes and generates comprehensive pull request notes. It can work with either a single commit or all changes in the current branch compared to the main/master branch.

Usage

/generate-pr-notes

Arguments

All optional.

Token	Meaning
a branch name (e.g. `develop`)	base branch to diff against — skips the base-branch question in step 1

Scope (last commit vs. entire branch) is always asked; it is not an argument.

Instructions

Use the Task tool with subagent_type="general-purpose" to spawn an agent that will generate pull request notes. Pass the following instructions to the agent.

CRITICAL: After the agent completes, follow these steps IN ORDER:

Output verbatim — display the agent's full response exactly as returned in the terminal. Do NOT summarize or modify it.
Extract content — strip the outer ```markdown opening fence and the closing ``` fence from the agent output to get the raw markdown text only.
Determine output path — before writing, run these two commands via Bash:
- Repo name: basename $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
- Short hash: git rev-parse --short HEAD Construct the output path as /tmp/pr-notes-<repo-name>-<short-hash>.md (e.g. /tmp/pr-notes-agent-skills-a1b2c3d.md). Use the Write tool to save the extracted markdown to that path.

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.
