Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

arn-reviewing-pr 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 1mo 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.

Arness Reviewing PR

Validate PR review comments, categorize findings, and fix or defer issues. This is a first-citizen entry point that wraps arn-code-review-pr and provides chaining context back to arn-implementing if fixes are needed.

This skill is a thin orchestration wrapper. It MUST NOT duplicate arn-code-review-pr logic. All review work is done by the invoked skill. Arness-reviewing-pr handles: prerequisite checks, input routing, invoking the review skill, and offering the chain exit.

Step 0: Ensure Configuration

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/arn-code-ensure-config/references/step-0-fast-path.md and follow its instructions. This guarantees a user profile exists and ## Arness is configured with Arness Code fields before proceeding.

After Step 0 completes, extract the following from ## Arness:

  • Platform — determines if PR operations are available (github, bitbucket, or none)

If Platform is none: inform the user that no platform is configured and suggest running /arn-reviewing-pr again after configuring a platform. Do not proceed.

Workflow

Step 1: Input Handling

  • PR number provided (e.g., "reviewing pr 42", "arness reviewing pr #123"): Extract the PR number and pass it to the review skill.
  • No args: Auto-detect PR for current branch (the review skill handles this internally).
  • No PR found: The review skill will detect this and inform the user. Suggest running /arn-shipping to create a PR first.

Step 2: Invoke Review PR

Show progress:

Reviewing PR: REVIEW-PR -> [fix / defer / plan]
              ^^^^^^^^^

Invoke the review skill:

Skill: arn-code:arn-code-review-pr [optional PR number]

The review skill handles all internal decisions: fetching comments, validating findings, categorizing, and optionally fixing. It has its own user interactions. Wait for it to complete.


Step 3: Completion Handoff

After arn-code-review-pr completes, assess what happened and offer the appropriate chain exit.

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.
