Explain a PR: the background problem and the proposed solution
Profile →npx skills add dyoshikawa/rulesync --skill explain-pr --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
target_pr = the user's request If target_pr is not provided, use the PR of the current branch. ## Step 1: Gather PR Information Run the following in parallel: - Get the PR description and metadata: `gh pr view <pr_number>` - Get the PR diff: `gh pr diff <pr_number>` ## Step 2: Analyze and Explain Based on the PR content, explain the following two aspects: 1. **Background (Problem/Motivation):** What issue or limitation existed before this PR? Why was this change needed? 2. **Solution:** What approach does this PR take to address the problem? Summarize the key changes and design decisions. Keep the explanation concise and focused. Use the language of the current conversation (follow the user's language).

What does the explain-pr skill do?
Explain a PR: the background problem and the proposed solution
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add dyoshikawa/rulesync --skill explain-pr --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.
