What it does

When installed, the agent follows a set of writing rules whenever it drafts a comment that a person will read, such as a GitHub pull request review, an issue reply, or a Slack update. It leads with the actionable point, explains the technical reason briefly, keeps the message to a few short paragraphs or bullets, and avoids em dashes. It also matches the language of the surrounding thread. The skill includes a suggested command to inspect a pull request with the GitHub CLI before writing review feedback.

Great for

  • Engineers who review pull requests and want concise, friendly feedback drafted quickly
  • Maintainers replying to issues who want a consistent, non-robotic tone
  • Team leads writing async project updates in Slack or Discord

Skip it if

  • Formal legal, HR, or customer-facing communications that need institutional review, since the style rules are tuned for peer collaboration
  • Situations where you need the agent to decide the technical merits of a change, because the skill governs tone and structure, not correctness

Try asking

  • “Write a review comment asking the author to split this PR into smaller commits”
  • “Reply to this GitHub issue thanking the reporter and asking for a reproduction step”
  • “Draft a short Slack update on the release status in Spanish, matching the channel language”
  • “Approve this PR with a note asking for links to the previous and next PRs”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Give the agent the thread or PR context so it can match the target language and tone correctly
  • Ask for one main point per comment, since the skill itself advises against pile-ons
  • Review the draft before posting, because the agent may still need to fill in project-specific details such as size limits
