pr-refresh

pr-refresh is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tony/skills. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,454 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for updating an existing GitHub pull request description so it matches the branch’s current code changes while preserving its layout and custom writing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare the current branch with the pull request, refresh outdated content, and leave templates or structural rewrites for a separate workflow.
Why use it?
It removes stale information without unexpectedly rewriting the description’s structure, links, or personal edits.

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-refresh 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 5d 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 — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Refresh PR Description

Bring an existing PR description back in sync with what the branch currently does — non-destructively. The description's structure, formatting, links, and hand-written customizations are preserved; only content that the branch's evolution has made stale is updated.

This command is content-only. It never restructures the description, never applies a template, and never discusses structure or templates. If the user asks for a different structure or mentions a template, reply in one line that restructuring is the pr-rewrite skill's job, then continue with the content-only refresh (or stop, if restructuring was the sole request).

User input: $ARGUMENTS

Context

Current branch — run this command and read the output:

git branch --show-current

PR for current branch (if any) — run this command and read the output:

gh pr view --json number,title,url,baseRefName 2>/dev/null || echo "(no PR for current branch — expect a PR number/URL in the argument)"

Procedure

1. Resolve the PR and its target

  • If $ARGUMENTS contains a PR number or URL, use it; otherwise use the current branch's PR. No PR found → report that and stop.
  • Fetch the full PR:
    gh pr view <number> --json number,title,body,url,baseRefName,headRefName,state
    
  • The diff base is the PR's baseRefName — this is what makes the command stack-aware. A PR targeting a sibling branch in a stack is diffed against that branch, never against trunk.
  • Gather the net change:
    git fetch origin <baseRefName>
    
    git log origin/<baseRefName>..HEAD --oneline
    
    git diff origin/<baseRefName>...HEAD --stat
    
    git diff origin/<baseRefName>...HEAD
    

2. Back up the current description

Before any analysis, save the existing body verbatim:

mkdir -p .git/pr-backups/$(date -u +%Y%m%d-%H%M%SZ)-pr<number>

Write the fetched body to body.md and the title to title.txt inside that directory, and tell the user the backup path. If the edit is later regretted, the old description can be restored with gh pr edit <number> --body-file <backup>/body.md.

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.
