PR Description Refresher

Regenerates the current pull request description from diff stats, commit history and validation results.

Dev & CodingIntermediate★ 578⑂ 72AI score 5/10Last updated: Sep 26, 2026

What it does

Rewrites the description of the pull request on your current branch.

  • Gathers change stats with git diff --stat and the full commit list with git log --oneline, both scoped by git merge-base HEAD origin/main.
  • Runs the repo validation script (pnpm run validate) covering house style, skill supporting files, spelling and skills-ref spec checks.
  • Builds a PR body with a Summary section (3–5 bullets), a Validation checklist of what passed, and Stats (files changed, skills touched).
  • Treats the repo as public, so only externally shareable wording is used; writes the body to a temp file, applies it via gh pr edit --body-file, and reports the PR URL.

Who it's for

  • Developers tired of hand-writing PR descriptions after every push
  • Reviewers who want a consistent PR body format across the team
  • Teams working in a monorepo that already has a validate script
  • Anyone with the GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated

Examples

  • After adding five more commits: "refresh the PR description" → summary and stats are rewritten to include the new work.
  • Before requesting review: "show validation status in the PR" → validate output is added as a checked list.
  • When a draft contains internal jargon → the body is rewritten with public-safe language and re-uploaded.

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the .agents/skills/skills-pr-summary folder from the GitHub repo scenario-labs/skills into my ~/.claude/skills/skills-pr-summary/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/scenario-labs/skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r skills/.agents/skills/skills-pr-summary ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
