github-code-review

A read-only review of one GitHub pull request, which is a proposed set of code changes. It gathers the pull request's description, related issues, discussions, reviews, and exact code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing a specific pull request and checking whether its code changes match the stated issue or goal.
Why use it?
It brings the relevant context and implementation together so potential problems can be assessed without changing the repository or posting feedback.

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

github-code-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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 194 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Code Review

Review exactly one GitHub pull request. This skill supplies GitHub context and an isolated checkout; code-review remains the governing implementation review standard. Be direct and evidence-based. Do not praise, approve, post GitHub comments, modify the active checkout, or run tests unless the user separately asks.

Invocation

/github-code-review 42

Require one positive integer PR number. If it is missing or invalid, ask for it. Do not review every open PR as a fallback.

Workflow

1. Establish GitHub context

From the repository containing the active checkout, collect the PR metadata and its patch. Use the explicit repository argument in later gh commands so changing directories cannot change the target repository.

repo="$(gh repo view --json nameWithOwner --jq .nameWithOwner)"
gh pr view <number> -R "$repo" --json number,title,url,body,state,author,baseRefName,baseRefOid,headRefName,headRefOid,commits,files,additions,deletions,changedFiles,closingIssuesReferences,comments,reviews
gh pr diff <number> -R "$repo" --patch

Read the title and body before inspecting the implementation. Identify the claimed problem, expected outcome, scope, and any unstated assumptions. A missing or vague description is relevant context, but is not automatically a blocking finding.

2. Read linked issues

Use the structured closingIssuesReferences returned by the PR metadata. Read every linked issue, including its title, body, state, labels, and comments:

gh issue view <issue-url> --json number,title,url,state,labels,body,comments

A closing reference is authoritative; do not guess linked issues by grepping arbitrary #123 text in prose. If no issues are linked, report that limitation rather than inventing one.

3. Read all prior PR feedback

Read all three categories of feedback:

  1. PR conversation comments (comments from gh pr view);
  2. submitted reviews and their bodies (reviews from gh pr view);
  3. inline review threads, including their resolved and outdated state.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
