review

A pull-request review workflow that runs the configured review checks, handles confirmed findings, resolves addressed discussion threads, and waits for passing CI. A pull request is a proposed code change submitted for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review an open pull request, fix valid problems, close the related review discussions, and settle the change in a passing state.
Why use it?
It keeps review work and follow-up in one process so a change is not merged while verified issues or failing checks remain.

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

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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/rereview-scope.sh, scripts/wait-for-reviewers.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 460 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Human output. Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/build-item/references/plain-language-output.md once per top-level run; composed skills reuse it. Apply it to every message.

Take an open pull request through the full review-and-settle loop: run every review engine, address each verified finding, reply-to and RESOLVE each addressed cloud thread, then release CI and settle it green. The reusable engine pr composes; also runnable standalone as /devstride:review <PR#>.

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/review/references/github-review-api.md holds the exact queries and the evidence behind every API rule below. Read it when you execute a step that touches those APIs — the rules here are the short form, and each exists because the alternative fails silently.

Argument — a PR number, or empty for the current branch's open PR: $ARGUMENTS

Config. .claude/ds-config.json review.* is authoritative over any literal here, and so is lessonsDoc — the per-repo lessons store this skill writes (fallback: .claude/ds-lessons.md).

The two contracts

Spend full adversarial review at a merge boundary, and size it to the risk. A fast story accumulating on an epic branch gets a bounded local risk screen; the epic release PR is its full Claude + configured local + cloud pass. A direct PR, hotfix, epic release and production release are merge boundaries. Scope/breadth come from delivery-profiles.md; model/effort come through review-fanout.md from its engineering-economy route. Never repeat already-covered scope. Before cycle 1 read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ultracode-build/references/review-fanout.md; it is the canonical finder/verifier procedure.

Resolve the delivery profile BEFORE the roster; announce it with its source. Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/plan/references/delivery-profiles.md. This skill honours localCliEngine, maxLocalReviewRounds, fixFloor, reviewer timeouts and releaseCiOrdering. Accept a caller's resolved name; else use (argument → full-view root marker → config → standard). Apply overrideable profileOverrides; reject a cycle-target override. Two cycles is fixed; P1/serious-P2 safety cycles have no numeric/local cap. Announce ("profile: standard — from .claude/ds-config.json"). An explicit config key wins over the profile where a knob has its own key (review.pollTimeoutMinutes): a PRESENT key is the operator's decision — honour it, report the contradiction. Two review.* keys are NOT overrides of that kind: review.localCommand NAMES the engine, it does not schedule it, and the three CI-ordering booleans describe what the workflows SUPPORT. No profile bypasses a supported hold (the reasoning: roster-and-modes.md).

Roster resolution — at the start of EVERY run, announced. From config plus probes, never assumption:

  • Claude adversarial — intrinsic; always on a PR-boundary roster. A fast story's risk screen is not a substitute for the epic release pass.
  • Local CLI enginecall it by review.localReviewerName. On the roster iff review.localCommand is non-null AND its first token resolves (command -v before launching); null is a legal, documented value. A present localCommand puts the engine on the roster for EVERY PR-boundary review under EVERY profile — release PR, one-off, hotfix. Routine fast stories defer it with the rest of the full roster.
  • Cloud reviewers — exactly the review.automatedReviewers entries; [] is legal ("no cloud wave" — absent reviews are correct, not pending).
  • Draft-hold mechanics — per review.openPullRequestsAsDraft / readyForReviewReleasesCi / ciHeldUntilReviewSettled. All true = review and pre-ship work finish before one CI release. Mixed values → use the strictest safe behavior and report the repair. All false with PR workflows = ungated and not optimized: CI may already be running; report /devstride:setup ci. No PR workflows = N/A.

Announce the resolved roster by name ("engines this run: Claude + Codex + Copilot" / "Claude only — localCommand null, no cloud reviewers"). Configured-but-failing is NOT not-configured: a probe failure or unresponsive configured reviewer is a degradation THIS RUN, reported; an unconfigured engine is silent-by-design. A missing engine narrows the roster — never a hard stop — with ONE floor: fast story merges require a completed local risk screen (build-item step 4). With no config file present, the fallback roster is CLAUDE-ONLY — nothing was configured to fail; proceed and say so. Substitute <effort> in a local command from the canonical task/risk route. For a legacy Codex template with a literal model_reasoning_effort, replace that value for this invocation; do not let stale config pin every task to xhigh, and do not choose its model for the operator. Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/review/references/roster-and-modes.md when a roster resolves to fewer engines than the config declares, or before changing a mode definition — it holds the fully-configured roster table and which paths never ran a Claude pass.

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.

review is a skill published in the GitHub repository devstride/claude-plugin (2 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 8,342 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
