Use when writing a PR body.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 14
Use this template for writing the PR body:
- Very specific: line 99
Use diff when the point is what changes and the surrounding shape already exists.
- Distinctive: line 160
Place each visual next to the short text it supports.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
First, list from the diff every changed path that existing callers use, every trust boundary touched, and every data model change (stored schemas, config and log files, API shapes, states, data sent to third parties). The Summary covers the paths and boundaries; Data model changes covers the rest.
Use this template for writing the PR body:
## Summary
<diagram, diff-sketch, or tree>
## Evidence
- **Before:** <screenshot/output/failing test run>
**After:** <screenshot/output/passing test run>
## Merge Danger
**Door:** <one-way or two-way>
<optional: description>
**Blast Radius:** <one-word description>
<optional: potential ramifications of merge>
## Data model changes
<before/after diffs, then a summary table; or "None">Sections
Skip all preambles and keep prose brief. Use the user's domain language from GLOSSARY.md.
Summary
Pick the smallest view that makes the key point clear.
- Show logic or an algorithm as pseudocode:
on(save)
if content is unchanged
return cached result
write new content
return fresh result- Show runtime control flow as a call tree:
submitForm
createSession
persistPrompt
launchAgent
navigateToSession- Show UI structure as a component tree, including state and module boundaries that matter:
<SessionPage> (apps/example/src/routes/session.tsx)
useSessionEvents()
<SessionToolbar>
<RunSkillButton> (packages/ui)- Show file responsibility or a broad refactor as a shallow file tree:
src/
├── commands/ # parses user actions
├── sessions/ # owns session state
└── transport/ # sends API requests- Show component interaction, control flow, or data flow with Mermaid:
sequenceDiagram
participant User
participant UI
participant Daemon
User->>UI: choose command
UI->>Daemon: send expanded prompt
Daemon-->>UI: stream result- Use
diffwhen the point is what changes and the surrounding shape already exists. Match the diff shape to the topic.
For a component change:
<SessionPage>
useSessionEvents()
<SessionToolbar>
+ <RunSkillButton />
<SessionTimeline>
+ <SkillResultCard />For a file-layout change:
src/
├── commands/
+│ └── show-me.ts # expands the slash command
├── sessions/
-└── transport.ts
+└── transport/
+ ├── client.ts
+ └── stream.tsFor a call-tree or call-stack change:
submitForm
createSession
persistPrompt
+ expandSkillMention
launchAgent
- navigateToSession
+ navigateToSession
+ subscribeToEventsFor a state or control-flow change:
on(save)
- write content
+ if content is unchanged
+ return cached result
+ write new content
+ invalidate cache- Show the whole block when most of it is new, when omitted context would hide ownership or order, or when the user needs a copyable target shape:
function expandSkill(command: string): string {
const skillName = command.slice(1);
return `use the ${skillName} skill`;
}Guidance
Place each visual next to the short text it supports. Keep only the calls, files, props, states, and boundaries needed to answer the user's current question or the options to resolve the current discussion point.
You may use one of these, you may use several, it is unlikely you will use all of them. Use your judgement and don't overwhelm the user.
Always include
- Give each changed shared path its own call-tree
diff, widest blast radius first, even when the PR is mainly a new feature. - For a trust boundary, add one sequence diagram from where the data enters to every place it leaves. Mark each check and state what stays unchecked.
Evidence
Concrete evidence that the change works. Show a before and after.
Screenshots are S-tier - when the environment is set up for it and the change is visual.
Execution-based evidence is A-tier. Test results, console output. Show the exact test that now fails and passes, using pseudocode.
Merge Danger
Describe whether it's a one-way or two-way door. You can walk back through two-way doors, but not one-way doors. A PR that is cheap to roll back is lower risk. Changes that involve destructive actions or hard-to-reverse decisions are one-way doors.
The blast radius is the potential impact or scope of the changes introduced by this PR. Consider all possibilities. Examples are layout shift, breakages for consumers, mobile responsiveness, etc.
Data model changes
Show each changed shape as a before/after diff of its full definition (the whole table, not the migration SQL), and new states as a diff of the transitions. Take each "before" from the base branch, not memory. Collapse low-risk detail in <details>.
End with a table, one row per change, hardest to undo first: where, change, compatible or breaking, undo, sensitive data. Breaking rows also go in the Summary; hard-to-undo rows also go under Merge Danger.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
