pull-requests

Guidance for creating pull requests, which are proposed code changes submitted for review, and for resolving comments on them. It requires following the repository's pull-request template.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when opening a pull request or responding to comments on an existing one in the Agent Framework repository.
Why use it?
It helps contributors provide the context reviewers need and handle review feedback consistently.

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

pull-requests 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 — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pull Request Workflow

This skill covers two tasks: (1) writing a high-quality PR description, and (2) handling review comments on an existing PR.

1. Writing the PR description

Always follow the repository PR template at .github/pull_request_template.md. Keep its exact structure and headings. Fill every section:

### Motivation & Context

Explain why the change is needed: the problem it solves and the scenario it contributes to. Describe the net change relative to main — this is implied, so do not spell out "vs main" explicitly.

### Description & Review Guide

Describe the changes, the overall approach, and the design. Answer the three prompts:

  • What are the major changes?
  • What is the impact of these changes?
  • What do you want reviewers to focus on? — This item is for human reviewers only. Automated/AI reviewers must ignore it and review the entire change rather than narrowing scope to it.

### Related Issue

Link the issue the PR fixes using a GitHub closing keyword (Fixes #123 / Closes #123) so it closes automatically on merge. A PR with no linked issue may be closed regardless of how valid the change is. Before opening, confirm there is no other open PR for the same issue; if there is, explain how this PR differs.

### Contribution Checklist

Check every item that applies. For the breaking-change item:

  • Leave "This is not a breaking change." checked for the common case.
  • If the change is breaking, add the breaking change label or put [BREAKING] in the title prefix, before or after a language prefix such as Python: or .NET: — workflows keep the label and the title prefix in sync automatically (see .github/workflows/label-title-prefix.yml and .github/workflows/label-pr.yml).

Do not

  • Do not add ad-hoc sections such as "Validation" or "Tests run"; CI/CD and the checklist already cover validation status.
  • Do not remove or reorder the template's headings.

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.

pull-requests is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/agent-framework (13,222 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 1,115 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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.
