# Writing PR descriptions

> Use when a pull request needs a title and body that match its diff.

Drafts, checks, and updates concise pull request titles and bodies grounded in the final diff, repository conventions, and author-supplied intent. Use when creating a PR, reviewing PR metadata, or refreshing stale PR text after a branch changes.

## Use it

I want to use the Writing PR descriptions skill by Lachlan Donald.
This is what it does, in the author's own words: Drafts, checks, and updates concise pull request titles and bodies grounded in the final diff, repository conventions, and author-supplied intent. Use when creating a PR, reviewing PR metadata, or refreshing stale PR text after a branch changes.
Download the whole folder at https://github.com/lox/agent-skills/tree/main/writing-pr-descriptions, SKILL.md and every file beside it, into your skills directory: ~/.claude/skills/writing-pr-descriptions/ for Claude Code, ~/.agents/skills/writing-pr-descriptions/ for Codex, ~/.cursor/skills/writing-pr-descriptions/ for Cursor. Get it from the author's repo, not from startupskills.dev.
Then tell me the path you installed it to and how to invoke it.

Nothing here is vendored: install from the author's repo. This file carries none of the author's file.
