thorough-pr-review

thorough-pr-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from luabagg/agent-skills. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,073 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured review process for checking a code change before it is merged. A pull request is a proposed change to a shared codebase; the review checks its correctness, reliability, scope, and fit with project conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a pull request, inspect a branch before opening one, assess merge readiness, check tests and project scope, and report evidence-based findings.
Why use it?
It helps catch meaningful problems without padding a review with speculative or irrelevant comments.

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

thorough-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 6d 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Thorough PR Review

Review a code change for correctness, reliability, and scope alignment. Back each finding with evidence.

When NOT to use

  • Tiny changes. A one-line typo or doc fix does not need the full template. One sentence is the right answer.
  • Mid-conflict PRs. If the branch is being rebased or has unresolved conflicts, wait.
  • Re-reviewing unchanged code. If the PR has not changed since a prior review, say so and stop.
  • Pure security audit. Use security-review instead.

Anti-hallucination rule

Review framing biases agents toward finding problems. Resist it.

  • If the change is small, correct, and follows convention, say so and stop. A three-line PR deserves a three-line review.
  • Do not pad the output with nitpicks. Each Low item must be useful.
  • When uncertain, label the finding as a hypothesis. Say what would confirm or refute it.

Workflow

1. Determine scope

If given a PR URL or number, extract the number from /pull/<N> and run:

gh pr view <number-or-url> --json title,body,url,number,files,commits,baseRefName,headRefName,reviews,comments
gh pr checks <number-or-url>

reviews and comments show whether someone already reviewed. Do not repeat their findings. checks shows what CI already caught.

If no PR is given, review the local branch:

git status
git branch --show-current
git log --oneline <base-branch>..HEAD
git diff <base-branch>...HEAD

2. Gather intent

Read the PR title and body. If a linked issue or ticket is mentioned, fetch it. You review against stated intent. If intent is missing or unclear, ask the user before you continue.

3. Read in context

For each changed file, read the modified sections with their surroundings: adjacent functions, callers, tests, configs. A line can look wrong in isolation and be correct in context, or the reverse.

4. Evaluate

Walk the change through the heuristics in references/heuristics.md. Each heuristic is a concrete check ("flag a new abstraction with only one caller"), not a principle ("apply SRP"). Apply the checks that fit the change type. Do not scan all ten on a 20-line PR.

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.
