pr-update

pr-update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutThisLife/brooklyn-skills. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,263 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for opening a pull request or refreshing an existing one so its title and description match the current branch changes. A pull request is a request to review and merge code into a shared project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a missing pull request, update its title and body, inspect all commits and changed files, and record an accurate summary and test plan.
Why use it?
It prevents stale or duplicate pull requests and keeps the summary and test plan aligned with the complete change set. It also preserves media already included in an existing description.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

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-update 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 10d 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 — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PR Update (open or refresh)

One skill for create and update. Make the title + body match the branch as it is now. Do not strip media from an existing description.

Steps

  1. git status / git diff / git log / git diff <default>...HEAD (and remote tracking) so you know the full change set — not just the latest commit.
  2. Detect an existing PR/MR for this branch (gh pr view / glab mr view).
    • None → create (push upstream with -u if needed).
    • Exists → edit title + body in place. Do not open a duplicate.
  3. Draft a title and body from all commits/files in the PR, not one commit.
  4. If updating: fetch the current body first. Preserve every media item exactly (see below). Then rewrite text so Summary / Test plan (or the repo's usual sections) stay accurate.
  5. Apply with gh pr create / gh pr edit (or glab equivalents).
  6. End with the PR/MR as a markdown link — the number and the full forge URL ([#123](https://github.com/org/repo/pull/123), GitLab ! equivalent). Never a bare #123. This is the one place the rule is written down; the other skills just follow it.

Title + body

  • Title: concise, why-focused; match repo PR style when obvious.
  • Body: use the repo's template when one exists; otherwise:
## Summary
<1-3 bullets of what changed and why>

## Test plan
- [ ] <concrete checks>
  • Run the prose through no-tropes before publishing.
  • Do not invent reviewers, labels, or milestone unless asked.

Commits

Shape the branch's commits as part of opening/refreshing the PR.

  • One concern per commit. Default to a topical split (2–5 is typical) even if not asked; don't dump everything into one blob unless the user wants it.
  • Match the repo's recent commit style (git log --oneline -15); subject = why. No "WIP" / "fix stuff".
  • Rebuild with soft reset + path-staged commits (no git rebase -i — needs a TTY). Show the final git log --oneline <default>..HEAD before force-push. Two traps in that recipe:
    • Soft-reset to the branch's real base SHA (git merge-base HEAD origin/<default>), never to origin/<default> itself — it moves mid-task and will stage other people's commits as yours.
    • git reset <base> -- <path> leaves that path unstaged, so the next git commit silently captures its pre-edit version. Verify the content landed (git show <sha>:<path> | grep <new symbol>) before force-push.
  • Keep authorship when reshaping others' work (Co-authored-by / cherry-pick), especially during pr-triage salvage.
  • Don't mix pure formatting with logic, commit secrets/.env, or rewrite commits already on the default branch without asking.

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.
