async-pr-review

async-pr-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI from google-gemini/gemini-cli. It costs 37 tokens per session (792 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A background pull request review that runs project checks, tests, and an AI-assisted code review while you continue working. A pull request is a proposed change submitted for review before it is added to a shared codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start an asynchronous review of a pull request, run background checks, and inspect the result when the review is complete.
Why use it?
It removes the need to wait for every check and review step to finish in your current workspace. You can start the review, continue working, and check its status later.

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

async-pr-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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/async-review.sh, scripts/check-async-review.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.

Async PR Review

This skill provides a set of tools to asynchronously review a Pull Request. It will create a background job to run the project's preflight checks, execute Gemini-powered test plans, and perform a comprehensive code review using custom prompts.

This skill is designed to showcase an advanced "Agentic Asynchronous Pattern":

  1. Native Background Shells vs Headless Inference: While Gemini CLI can natively spawn and detach background shell commands (using the run_shell_command tool with is_background: true), a standard bash background job cannot perform LLM inference. To conduct AI-driven code reviews and test generation in the background, the shell script must invoke the gemini executable headlessly using -p. This offloads the AI tasks to independent worker agents.
  2. Dynamic Git Scoping: The review scripts avoid hardcoded paths. They use git rev-parse --show-toplevel to automatically resolve the root of the user's current project.
  3. Ephemeral Worktrees: Instead of checking out branches in the user's main workspace, the skill provisions temporary git worktrees in .gemini/tmp/async-reviews/pr-<number>. This prevents git lock conflicts and namespace pollution.
  4. Agentic Evaluation (check-async-review.sh): The check script outputs clean JSON/text statuses for the main agent to parse. The interactive agent itself synthesizes the final assessment dynamically from the generated log files.

Workflow

  1. Determine Action: Establish whether the user wants to start a new async review or check the status of an existing one.
    • If the user says "start an async review for PR #123" or similar, proceed to Start Review.
    • If the user says "check the status of my async review for PR #123" or similar, proceed to Check Status.

Start Review

If the user wants to start a new async PR review:

  1. Ask the user for the PR number if they haven't provided it.
  2. Execute the async-review.sh script, passing the PR number as the first argument. Be sure to run it with the is_background flag set to true to ensure it immediately detaches.
    .gemini/skills/async-pr-review/scripts/async-review.sh <PR_NUMBER>
    
  3. Inform the user that the tasks have started successfully and they can check the status later.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
