Our review

Applies labels to GitHub pull requests based on conventional commit types.

Strengths

  • Automates consistent label assignment
  • Handles multiple patterns (commit types, authors, title)
  • Integrates via the gh CLI

Limitations

  • Requires `gh` CLI installed and configured
  • Depends on commit message format
  • GitHub only
When to use it

Use this skill to automatically label your PRs based on the type of change they introduce.

When not to use it

Avoid if your PRs don't follow conventional commits or if you're using a platform other than GitHub.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score85/100

The skill uses Bash to run 'gh pr edit' for adding labels, which is a benign operation. No arbitrary command execution, data exfiltration, or safety bypass.
