pr-loop-cloud-transport

pr-loop-cloud-transport is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jl-cmd/claude-dev-env. It costs 90 tokens per session (1,977 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A transport workflow for running pull-request automation when the GitHub command-line tool cannot access the PR. It routes GitHub operations through GitHub’s connected tools after checking the command-line tool and account permissions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of PR review, bug-audit, fix, or convergence workflows in cloud sessions, or when GitHub commands fail.
Why use it?
It prevents PR loops from failing because the session lacks the right command-line tool, authentication, or write access. The workflow chooses a usable connection before other PR actions begin.

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-loop-cloud-transport 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PR-loop cloud transport

One workflow that makes a cloud session able to run the PR-loop skill family. A cloud session ships no gh binary and cannot fetch one, so every gh step in a PR-loop skill routes through the GitHub MCP tools; this skill is the setup and routing contract for that substitution. The same routing serves a session whose gh is present but unauthenticated, or authenticated as an account that cannot act on the PR's owner — a binary that cannot act on the PR is as unusable as a binary that is not there. The evidence base is docs/references/cloud-pr-loop-compatibility.md in the source repo — every rule here traces to a live probe, the operation inventory recorded there, or the auth rule the calling skills state.

Decide the transport first

Three checks, in order; the first failure routes to the cloud transport:

  1. command -v gh — the binary exists.
  2. gh auth status — an active authenticated account exists; a non-zero exit fails the check.
  3. Once the PR scope is resolved (owner and repo known): gh api repos/<owner>/<repo> --jq .permissions.push must print true. The permissions object in that response reports the authenticated account's own rights on the repo, push included (live probe: the Section 7 appendix row in the runbook), so one command proves the binary, the auth, and the account's write access together. An error, a 404, or false fails the check.
  • All three pass → local session. Stop here; follow the calling skill's own steps unchanged.
  • Any check fails → cloud transport. Run the workflow below, then follow the calling skill's steps with every gh operation swapped for its cloud path.

A read-scoped account passes checks 1 and 2 and fails check 3 — the PR-loop skills push fix commits, so push: false means the local path stalls at its first push while the MCP transport carries the run.

GitHub MCP substitution covers gh operations only. It does not make Claude-only slash commands (for example /code-review) runnable. Those steps go through the chain-spawn helper documented in worker-spawn.md (detect_host_profile + invoke_code_review). Transport (gh vs MCP) and harness (Claude vs third-party) are separate axes.

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.
