approve
Approve a pull request using gh pr review --approve
npx skills add dyoshikawa/rulesync --skill approve --agent claude-code

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Approve Pull Request Approve a pull request using `gh pr review --approve`. ## Input ``` the user's request ``` ## Step 1: Determine the Target PR Parse `the user's request` to identify the PR to approve: ### Case A: PR number or URL is provided - Extract the PR number from the argument - Examples: `123`, `#123`, `https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123` ### Case B: No argument provided - Get the PR associated with the current branch: ```bash gh pr view --json number,title,state ``` ### Case C: Unable to determine the PR If the PR cannot be determined (e.g., no PR exists for the current branch, or the argument is ambiguous), **ask the user** to specify which PR to approve. ## Step 2: Verify the PR Before approving, confirm the PR details: ```bash gh pr view <pr_number> --json number,title,state,author,baseRefName,headRefName,isDraft ``` Check: 1. The PR state is `OPEN` 2. The PR is not a draft (`isDraft` is `false`) 3. Display the PR title, number, and author to the user for confirmation If the PR is not open or is a draft, inform the user and stop. ## Step 3: Approve the PR Execute the approve command: ```bash gh pr review <pr_number> --approve ``` **Important**: Only approve ONE

What does the approve skill do?
Approve a pull request using gh pr review --approve
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add dyoshikawa/rulesync --skill approve --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From dyoshikawa/rulesync, a repository with 1,285 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
