ably-cli: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/ably-review/SKILL.md

ably-review is a skill for Claude Code from ably/ably-cli. It costs 101 tokens per session (3,688 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A focused code-review helper that checks only the changes on the current branch against Ably’s command-development conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review branch changes, check a pull request, or validate work in progress for structural and text-based issues.
Why use it?
It gives a faster, more targeted review before a pull request, without scanning the entire codebase.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ably-review scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Ably Branch Review

This skill reviews only the changes on the current branch (compared to main) against the conventions defined in the ably-new-command skill. It uses a combination of LSP for structural analysis (type hierarchies, call chains) and grep/read for text-pattern checks, choosing the right tool for each check.

Unlike ably-codebase-review which sweeps the entire codebase, this skill is scoped to what has changed on the current branch, making it fast and focused for pre-PR review.

Tool selection guide

Use LSP when you need type-system awareness:

  • goToDefinition — resolve what base class a command actually extends
  • findReferences — trace all callers of a method through inheritance
  • hover — reveal resolved types, inherited members, full type hierarchy
  • documentSymbol — list all methods/properties in a class structurally

Use grep/read when a text match is sufficient:

  • this.error() calls in command files
  • Component string casing in this.fail() and logCliEvent() calls
  • new Error(...) wrapping in this.fail() calls (unnecessary — accepts strings)
  • shouldOutputJson guards around this.log()
  • formatSuccess() calls ending with .
  • formatProgress() calls with manual ...
  • chalk.cyan() where formatResource() should be used
  • Quoted resource names instead of formatResource(name)
  • --json / --pretty-json in static examples arrays
  • Flag spreads like ...productApiFlags, ...durationFlag, ...clientIdFlag
  • waitUntilInterruptedOrTimeout usage
  • Missing test files (glob for them)
  • --duration flag in subscribe test files
  • Mock helper imports (getMockAblyRealtime, getMockAblyRest, getMockConfigManager)

Step 0: Verify LSP prerequisites

Before doing any analysis, check that the LSP tooling is available:

  1. Check for the LSP tool — verify the LSP tool is available in your tool list. If it is not, tell the user:

    The LSP plugin is not installed. Install it by running:

    claude plugin add anthropic/claude-code-lsp
    

    Then restart Claude Code and re-run this skill. Stop here — do not proceed without the LSP tool.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
