update-pr

A pull request you opened earlier, brought back in line with the work that has happened since — on the shared branch and on your own machine.

WHEN TO USE

SCOPE

USE FOR

Pull in new commits on the PR branch and resolve any merge conflicts before continuing.
Commit outstanding local changes and push them onto the existing pull request.
Refresh the pull request title and description after a significant change in scope.

This is a saved copy of the skill's SKILL.md instructions. It may differ from the upstream file or the version you install.

Update Pull Request

Update the existing pull request for the current session. The context block appended to the prompt contains the pull request information.

Check whether the pull request has any commits that are not yet present on the current branch (incoming changes). If there are any incoming changes, pull them into the current branch and resolve any merge conflicts
Run the compile and hygiene tasks (fixing any errors)
If there are any uncommitted changes, use the /commit skill to commit them
If the outgoing changes introduce significant changes to the pull request, update the pull request title and description to reflect those changes
Update the pull request with the new commits and information

Built into VS Code. Nothing to install there. The npx skills add command copies the same instructions into another agent, but they are written for VS Code and may call tools only VS Code has.

Run this outside your AI tool, using Node.js 22.20.0 or newer. Skills CLI 1.7.2 skips skill selection; prompts cancel installation without an interactive terminal. If choosing Project when asked about installation scope, open your project's folder before running this.

Install checklist

Check selected tools if a picker appears; Claude Code may be unchecked under Additional agents. ↑/↓ moves, Space toggles selections, Enter confirms.
Without a tool picker, check Installing to: for your intended tool. Stop if it names a different tool.
If asked, choose Symlink (Recommended) for shared files or Copy to all agents for separate copies; review the summary before confirming installation.
Install the find-skills skill? defaults to Yes, adding another skill for all projects. Choose No if you don't want that extra installation.

Skills CLI 1.7.2 sends install data to skills.sh by default, including the source, skill names, target tools and file details; GitHub sources are reported only when GitHub confirms the repository is public, while other remote sources can also be reported. Confirmed-public GitHub sources also trigger a security-audit request. Before installing, set the environment variable DO_NOT_TRACK=1 or DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 to disable both.

After installing for Claude Code, open it in the installation project if you chose Project; Global makes the skill available across projects on this computer. Once Claude Code loads the skill, its description helps Claude decide when to use it.

If installation created a top-level skills folder that did not exist when your Claude Code session started, run /reload-skills in that session. Run it again after later changes in that folder.
