mattpocock ships /pr skill: PR bodies optimized for fast human review
mattpocockuk · x · 2026-09-17
mattpocock merged a new model-invoked /pr skill into his skills repo (PR #1092), designed to make AI-generated pull request bodies as fast as possible for humans to review.
Key points:
- Not a workflow skill: it doesn't touch git, check diffs, or open PRs — it's a reference document defining what a PR body should look like, analogous to code-review's smell baseline but applied after review.
- SKILL.md leads with a template, then explains each section: Summary, Size and door, The shape of the change, Evidence, Left out on purpose.
- It borrows from @dexhorthy's /show-me (attach reproducible evidence like screenshots and test output) and domain language from /grill-with-docs.
- Adds merge risk assessment: classifying changes as one-way vs two-way doors so reviewers can prioritize.
The change spans 12 files (+91/-80) with a CREDITS.md sidecar documenting sources.
