Kheish Compatibility

This skill is repo-local and stays inactive until explicitly activated.

When the original instructions refer to legacy tool names, use these Kheish mappings:

• terminal => bash
• web_extract => web_fetch, plus web_search when discovery is needed
• search_files => grep_search and glob_search
• browser_* tools require a browser-capable surfaced tool or MCP; if none is available, use the closest available surface and say so explicitly

When the instructions mention local helper files, resolve them from ${KHEISH_SKILL_DIR}.

GitHub Code Review

Perform code reviews on local changes before pushing, or review open PRs on GitHub. Most of this skill uses plain git — the gh/curl split only matters for PR-level interactions.

Prerequisites

• Authenticated with GitHub (see github-auth skill)
• Inside a git repository

Setup (for PR interactions)

if command -v gh &>/dev/null && gh auth status &>/dev/null; then
  AUTH="gh"
elif [ -n "$GITHUB_TOKEN" ]; then
  AUTH="curl"
else
  AUTH="none"
fi

[ "$AUTH" = "none" ] && echo "Run 'gh auth login' or export GITHUB_TOKEN before PR interactions" && exit 1

REMOTE_URL=$(git remote get-url origin)
OWNER_REPO=$(echo "$REMOTE_URL" | sed -E 's|.*github\.com[:/]||; s|\.git$||')
OWNER=$(echo "$OWNER_REPO" | cut -d/ -f1)
REPO=$(echo "$OWNER_REPO" | cut -d/ -f2)

1. Reviewing Local Changes (Pre-Push)

This is pure git — works everywhere, no API needed.

Get the Diff

# Staged changes (what would be committed)
git diff --staged

# All changes vs main (what a PR would contain)
git diff main...HEAD

# File names only
git diff main...HEAD --name-only

# Stat summary (insertions/deletions per file)
git diff main...HEAD --stat

Review Strategy

1. Get the big picture first:

git diff main...HEAD --stat
git log main..HEAD --oneline

1. Review file by file — use read_file on changed files for full context, and the diff to see what changed:
