Use when the user asks to write a pull request description, open a PR, draft PR notes, or summarise a branch for review.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# kanso-pr

Writes PR descriptions that survive Jira migrations, Slack thread rot, and six months of organisational drift. Self-contained by default. Pulls from commit history rather than re-inventing.

The principles from `kanso-principles` apply. The description earns its place the same way code does.

## The job

A PR description has two readers: the present reviewer and the future archaeologist. The present reviewer needs enough context to approve or push back. The future archaeologist — human or AI — needs enough context to understand *why* without cloning the repo, reading the diff, and reverse-engineering intent.

External links rot. The description must stand on its own. Links supplement; they don't substitute.

## Before writing

Gather context in this order:

1. **Target branch.** `!git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD` for current, `$ARGUMENTS` or `main` as target.
2. **Commit history on this branch.** `!git log <target>...HEAD --format="%h %s%n%b%n---"`. These commits already contain the *what* and ideally the *why*. Pull from them.
3. **Diff summary.** `!git diff <target>...HEAD --stat` for scope awareness.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add blakecyze/skills/kanso-pr@sha256:1908bcc380da7313

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.d29810e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
