+### Terminal PR-reference renderer
+
+Use the bundled [`pr_link.py`](scripts/pr_link.py) helper for every
+terminal-bound PR reference instead of constructing OSC 8 sequences
+inside individual output paths:
+
+```bash
+python3 <framework>/skills/pr-management-triage/scripts/pr_link.py \
+  '<upstream>#NNN'
+
+# When the repository is obvious and only #NNN should be visible:
+python3 <framework>/skills/pr-management-triage/scripts/pr_link.py \
+  --repo '<upstream>' '#NNN'
+```
+
+The helper accepts `<upstream>#NNN`, the full GitHub pull-request URL, or
+`#NNN` with `--repo <upstream>`. It preserves the visible form and always
+targets the canonical `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/pull/<N>` URL.
+When `TERM` is unset or `dumb`, or `NO_COLOR` is present, it falls back to
+plain text plus the URL.
+
+Every terminal output path goes through this helper: fetch or apply progress
+lines that name a PR, classifier proposals, group and per-PR drill-in screens,
+error messages, and the Step 6 session summary. Do not build a one-off OSC 8
+wrapper in any of those paths.
