What Pr Precheck does

Use when the user invokes `/pr-precheck <repo> <topic>` or — implicitly, before any other skill opens a pull request — to check the target repo's merged and closed PR history for prior attempts at the same fix, so the agent doesn't open the Nth duplicate of an already-rejected approach. Wraps the `vouch pr-cache` CLI (build / check / show) and turns its verdict into a clear stop / ask /…

How to install Pr Precheck

git clone https://github.com/vouchdev/vouch
cp -r vouch/skills/pr-precheck ~/.claude/skills/pr-precheck

Commands — how to trigger Pr Precheck

  • /pr-precheck Checks a repo's PR history for prior attempts before opening a new pull request.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Check if anyone already tried fixing this bug
  • Precheck this repo before I open a PR for caching
  • Has this exact fix been rejected before in this repo

Frequently asked questions

Is the Pr Precheck skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from vouchdev/vouch. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does Pr Precheck work with Claude Code?
It is in our test queue — we run every skill on real work before issuing a verdict, and this one is scheduled.
How do I install Pr Precheck?
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 Precheck 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.
