pr-workflow — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited pr-workflow (Agent Skill) and scored it 74/100 (yellow). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 3 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

## Summary
Add `--dry-run` flag; `$HOME` paths now resolve before staging.

Before dispatching reviewers, load references/pr-risk-policy.md. It owns risk classification, roster selection, and review reuse. Preserve explicit user and /do rosters and repository requirements. Do not start a second review at each PR phase.
In a repo that is not a non-fork github.com/notque repo (upstreams, every github.wdf.sap.corp org, and notque forks), nothing reaches a remote before a local review: run ruff check/ruff format and the repo's own formatters and linters, commit, run /pr-review on the local commit, fix (formatters again) and commit, run /pr-review on the fix delta, then push, then open the PR. Formatting after the review makes a new SHA that needs another review. No push, remote branch, draft PR, or gh pr create before that. /pr-review records the clean SHA; pretool-review-before-push-gate blocks a push without the record. Non-fork notque repos keep the risk-selected lanes below.
Before pushing Python changes, run both locally:
ruff check . --config pyproject.toml
ruff format --check . --config pyproject.tomlAfter push, identify the run with gh run list --branch "$BRANCH" --commit "$HEAD_SHA". Retry if absent (GitHub can take 5-10s). Use gh run view <id> --log-failed for failures. Do not treat an earlier green run or "no checks reported" as success.
Every PR task carries a tier. Act up to the last tier granted, then stop.
| Tier | Granted by | You may |
|---|---|---|
| Triage | "look at", "assess" | Read code, PRs, CI. Report findings. No edits. |
| Implement | "fix", "build", "address" | Edit files, commit, run tests locally. |
| Push | "push", "open a PR" | Push branch, open/update PR, watch CI. |
| Merge | "merge", "land it", "ship it" | Merge the approved, green PR. |
| Release | "release", "deploy" | Tag, publish, deploy per release process. |
Tiers nest (merge includes implement and push). Grants are per task. When ambiguous, take the lower tier and present a Decision Brief:
**Decision: <one-line subject>**
- URL: <PR link>
- Change: <plain-language description>
- Proof: <what was verified and how>
- Tradeoffs: <costs or risks; "none found" only after looking>
- Recommendation: <single option and why>
- Choices: <concrete actions the owner can grant verbatim>Drive every item to mergeable and proven before asking the owner anything.
