Fetched SKILL.md and confirmed frontmatter parses (name, description, compatibility, metadata). Spot-checked the one bundled asset scripts/find-collaborator.sh — HTTP 200, a clean `gh api` collaborator lookup with no security smells; the skill also ships an explicit Security Boundaries section. Trigger judgment: 3 create-PR phrasings load it, 2 adjacent ones (reviewing someone else's PR, merging to main) correctly do not — 5/5. Could not run the end-to-end loop: the skill's value is `gh pr create --draft` + GitHub Actions CI monitoring/fix cycle, which needs an authenticated gh against a live repo and creating a real PR, so no baseline-vs-skill artifact was produced (outputMeasured=false); gh and git are installed but no target repo exists here.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 3/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Pr Create does
Orchestrates a git-to-PR workflow in Claude Code: assess repo state, branch/commit as needed, draft a PR title and body for user approval, run local pre-flight checks, push, and open a draft PR via the gh CLI. It then watches GitHub Actions CI, auto-fixes mechanical failures (lint, formatting, type errors) and re-runs until green, then publishes the draft and optionally requests a reviewer — without ever merging. Triggers on phrases like "create pr", "make a pr", "open pull request", or "submit pr" in a GitHub repo with Actions CI.
How to install Pr Create
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/posit-dev/skills.git /tmp/pr-create-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/pr-create-src/github/pr-create ~/.claude/skills/pr-create
# Requires: gh CLI authenticated (`gh auth login`), git, and a GitHub-hosted repo with GitHub Actions CI.
# Requires Claude Code TaskCreate/TaskUpdate/TaskList tools (per the skill's `compatibility` frontmatter).
# Bundled helper scripts/find-collaborator.sh resolves a reviewer name -> GitHub handle via `gh api`.
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Pr Create skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from posit-dev/skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Pr Create work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 21, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Fetched SKILL.md and confirmed frontmatter parses (name, description, compatibility, metadata).

- What is the Pr Create SkillProof Score?
- 7.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 3/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Pr Create?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Pr Create with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
