pr-validity

pr-validity is a skill for Claude Code from rube-de/cc-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (3,780 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only pull-request checker that compares newly added code with the existing project to find duplicate or overlapping implementations, then creates a structured GitHub issue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a pull request, assess the quality of its description, classify its changes, and document duplicate-code findings in GitHub.
Why use it?
It helps identify redundant work before it becomes part of the codebase.

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-validity 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 1mo 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.

DLC: PR Validity Analysis

Detect duplicate or redundant code introduced by a PR. Read-only analysis — no code modifications.

Before running, read ../dlc/references/ISSUE-TEMPLATE.md now for the issue format, and read ../dlc/references/REPORT-FORMAT.md now for the findings data structure.

Step 1: Resolve Target PR

Determine the PR to check and fetch all data needed for subsequent steps in a single call:

# If PR number provided as argument
PR_JSON=$(gh pr view <PR_NUMBER> --json number,title,url,headRefName,state,additions,changedFiles,files,body)

# If no argument — detect from current branch
PR_JSON=$(gh pr view --json number,title,url,headRefName,state,additions,changedFiles,files,body)

# Display PR summary
echo "$PR_JSON" | jq '{number, title, url, headRefName, state, additions, changedFiles}'

If no open PR is found, abort with: "No open PR found for the current branch. Push your changes and open a PR first."

PR Description Quality Check

Extract .body from PR_JSON and evaluate against a minimal structure rubric:

# Missing Element Severity Type Message
1 PR body is empty or < 50 chars High pr-description "PR has no meaningful description — reviewers need context"
2 No summary section heading — any Markdown heading level (#–######) containing Summary, What, Changes, Description, Overview, Context, or Motivation (case-insensitive) Medium pr-description "PR lacks a summary section — add a heading like ## Summary or ## Description"
3 No mention of testing — test plan, tested, how to test, verify, verified, verification, steps to verify, manual test (case-insensitive) Low pr-description "PR description has no test plan or verification instructions"

Evaluation order: Check #1 first. If the body is empty or under 50 chars, emit only the High finding and skip checks #2 and #3 (they are logically entailed and not independently actionable on an empty body). When the body is ≥ 50 chars, evaluate checks #2 and #3 and emit all that match (unlike spec-quality's precedence rule — each missing element is independently actionable).

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.

pr-validity is a skill published in the GitHub repository rube-de/cc-skills (10 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 3,780 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
