local-review

local-review is a skill for Claude Code from jv-vogler/skills. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,861 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local pull-request review workflow that checks code changes against the task they were meant to complete. It writes findings to a local scratch file instead of sending comments to GitHub.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a pull request, branch, or local diff; find the related ticket or infer the intent; understand the surrounding project; and record review comments locally.
Why use it?
It helps catch changes that are technically valid but do not match the requested work, and requires findings to be verified by running the code.

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

local-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 11d 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 — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Local PR review

Review a PR against what its ticket asked for, verify every finding by running code, and write it all to a local scratchfile — never to GitHub.

Flow

  1. Target — first that applies: given PR number (gh pr view/diff <N>); current branch's open PR (gh pr view); local diff vs base (git diff <base>...HEAD). Say which you used.
  2. Spec — find a ticket reference anywhere: branch name, PR title, PR description. Teams differ; there is no fixed pattern. Fetch the ticket via the Jira/Atlassian MCP tools. MCP missing or ticket unreachable → the PR description becomes the spec. Neither exists → infer intent from the code and say so in the overview. Beyond ticket-hunting, the PR description is not review input — judge the changes, not the pitch.
  3. Big picture — establish what the project does and what the touched area is for: README, CLAUDE.md, directory layout, the modules around the change. A diff can be locally correct and still wrong for the system.
  4. What changed — describe the change at business level: "fixes the duplicate image on the product page", never "renamed a to b, added an if". No code in the overview.
  5. Scope check — ticket vs changes: matches / misses pieces / does unrelated extras. Fundamental mismatch (solves a different problem) → stop and ask whether to review anyway. Anything less → record it in the overview's verdict line, keep going.
  6. Find problems — correctness (edge cases, wrong data, unhandled errors, races) and design (should this exist in this shape, consistency with sibling code, silent breaking changes). Ground every candidate in code you actually read: open the definitions the diff calls, check the data model, compare with siblings.
  7. Verify — every finding gets tested before it's written up, as you go or in one batch at the end, whichever is cheaper. Prefer a failing test that reproduces the bug — include it in the comment; it's the most useful artifact you can hand the author. When a test can't capture it, run the app and interact with it. Testing needs the PR's code: work in place if already on the branch with a clean tree, otherwise a temporary git worktree. Delete temp tests and worktrees after. Genuinely impractical to test (network, third parties)? High-confidence inference is acceptable — hedge honestly in the comment and mark the proof line. Discard whatever fails verification: a killed false positive is the system working.
  8. Write — fill the template below.
  9. Humanize — run the prose through the writing:humanize skill. No fake-personal voice in either direction ("I really like this PR…"): genuine strengths go under Quality points as factual bullets; the user writes their own compliments from them.

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.
