GitHub PR media proof
Use this skill when a pull request needs visual evidence or a clearer description. Resolve every script path relative to this SKILL.md. Run the bundled Python files through uv run --script.
Workflow
- Run each script with
--help when its current interface is not known.
- Review the current PR body with
scripts/pr_body.py review.
- Use
playwright-cli when browser media must be generated.
- Run
scripts/upload_attachments.py --dry-run on every media file.
- Upload only after the repository, conversions, sizes, and side effects are correct.
- Add the returned Markdown or URLs to a proposed body file.
- Review that file with
scripts/pr_body.py review --body-file FILE.
- Preview the complete PR diff with
scripts/pr_body.py update --body-file FILE.
- Add
--write --expect-current SHA256 only after the body update is authorized.
- Re-read the PR body and report the PR URL and uploaded URLs.
Every write step must have a checkable result: upload responses contain a URL, the proposed body contains the URLs, and the final API read contains the intended sections.
Capture browser proof
Use the vendored playwright-cli skill as the sole browser capture tool. Use a screenshot for a stable state. Use a video for interaction, timing, animation, or state transitions.
Read references/browser-capture.md before generating browser media. It defines the temporary workspace, recording sequence, recovery path, and completion checks.
Upload media
The uploader detects the current GitHub repository. Pass --repo OWNER/REPO only when detection is unavailable or the target differs.
uv run --script scripts/upload_attachments.py --dry-run screenshot.webp recording.mov
uv run --script scripts/upload_attachments.py screenshot.webp recording.mov
The script emits JSON by default. Use --format markdown for body-ready output. --prepare-only converts media without uploading it.
Automatic conversion creates inline-compatible PNG images and H.264 MP4 videos. It uses ffprobe for inspection and ffmpeg for conversion. Failed conversions preserve their run-owned directory and print one recovery instruction.
Read references/media-formats.md before handling an unfamiliar format, a large file, a codec failure, or a private repository.
Review and update a PR body
The body tool detects the repository and current pull request. Pass --repo or --pr only when detection fails or the target differs.
uv run --script scripts/pr_body.py review
uv run --script scripts/pr_body.py review --body-file proposed-body.md
Preview a proposed body, then write it explicitly:
uv run --script scripts/pr_body.py update --body-file proposed-body.md
uv run --script scripts/pr_body.py update --body-file proposed-body.md \
--write --expect-current SHA256
The preview prints the current body SHA-256. The guarded write refuses concurrent changes. Re-read and merge the latest body before retrying a mismatch.
Description format
Use this order for behavior-changing PRs:
## Problem & Solution Overview — state the problem, solution, and important boundary.- Put the shortest useful video near the end of the overview when it orients the reviewer faster than prose. Keep one sentence before it that says what to watch.
## Before / After — use a Markdown table for compact comparisons.## Why This Change Was Made — explain the cause and the chosen boundary.## User Impact — state who benefits and what remains unchanged.## Evidence — link tests, logs, screenshots, and videos. Name each artifact.## Testing Done — list exact commands, checks, or manual scenarios and their outcomes.
Only Problem & Solution Overview and Testing Done are required. Add the other sections when they improve review.
Prefer this table shape:
| Scenario | Before | After |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Resize the pane mid-transcript | Reader position jumps | Anchor stays on the same message |
Put video URLs on their own lines so GitHub renders the player. Use image Markdown for still images. Keep the overview media short and move detailed proof to Evidence.
Read references/description-guidelines.md for the review checklist and generic template.
Safety and access
- Confirm the target repository and PR number before upload or update.
- Treat attachment URLs as repository-scoped evidence.
- Do not upload secrets, private customer data, or unreviewed recordings.
- Do not commit proof media or generated files to the product branch.
- Use
--dry-run before an upload and preview before --write.
- Report every public PR update with its URL.
