vale-ai-tells: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/pr/SKILL.md

pr is a skill for Claude Code from tbhb/vale-ai-tells. It costs 105 tokens per session (2,626 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A controlled workflow for opening a GitHub pull request, which is a proposed set of code changes for review. It drafts the description, has it independently reviewed, validates it, and then publishes it after confirmation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare and open pull requests, check their descriptions against the branch changes, run required checks, and hand later work to workflows for watching, fixing, or merging.
Why use it?
It prevents a pull request from being created with an unchecked or unsupported title and description. It also stops when the branch or repository is not ready.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: hooks in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is tbhb/vale-ai-tells's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on vale-ai-tells itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything vale-ai-tells configures →

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 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/create-pr.sh, scripts/guard-gh.sh, scripts/preflight.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 199 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Open a pull request

Work the steps in order. A pair of hooks runs alongside them and refuses the shortcuts. A direct gh pr create is out, so is a gh pr edit rewriting the title or body, and so is any publish whose description the reviewer hasn't seen in its current form.

This skill ends when the pull request is open. From there watch-pr, fix-pr, and merge-pr take over, and step 8 routes to whichever the operator asked for.

Preflight

!bash ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/preflight.sh

Step 0: the checklist

Track these steps with the session's task-list tools where it carries them. Newer harnesses leave those tools out by default, and a session without them works the list in order as written.

  1. Confirm the branch is ready
  2. Draft the description in PR_AGENTDESC.md
  3. Pass the prose gates with fix-prose
  4. Review the draft with review-pr-description
  5. Run the validator and the prose gates
  6. Ask the operator how far to take it
  7. Publish the pull request
  8. Route the rest

Stop before any of it where preflight reports a rebase, merge, or cherry-pick in progress, or a missing precondition. Say what's wrong and hand back.

Step 1: confirm the branch is ready

Preflight answered each of these, so read rather than re-run:

  • The branch has commits the base doesn't. Nothing to open otherwise.
  • The branch isn't the default branch.
  • Uncommitted changes stay out of the pull request. Where preflight listed some, say so and let the operator decide before going on.
  • A pull request may already exist. Where one is open, publishing updates it rather than opening a second.
  • The branch has a current base. Where preflight reports it behind the default branch, run the rebase skill before opening, so the reviewer reads the branch against the base it actually merges into.

Preflight also settled the draft on disk. It removed a stale PR_AGENTDESC.md where no open pull request matched it, then scaffolded a fresh one from the template. That scaffold has the frontmatter keys, a placeholder title, and every section the template declares, so nothing downstream reproduces the template's shape from memory. It fails the validator until something fills it, which is the point.

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository tbhb/vale-ai-tells (91 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 105 tokens to every session and 2,626 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
