pedagogical-pr-review

pedagogical-pr-review is a skill for Claude Code from marinahaugen/polymorph-mindset-plugins. It costs 109 tokens per session (1,575 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A teaching-focused way to review a pull request, a proposed set of code changes, one file at a time. It explains what the changes do, why they were chosen, and which programming patterns they demonstrate.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps walk through a pull request, explain its original problem and solution, compare design choices, and decide which generated or low-value files can be skipped.
Why use it?
A normal code review mainly looks for problems, while this approach helps someone understand the whole change. It makes large or unfamiliar pull requests easier to learn from.

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

pedagogical-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 9d 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 — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pedagogical PR Review

A structured file-by-file walkthrough of a pull request that prioritizes understanding over speed. The reviewer explains why changes make sense, highlights design patterns, and checks comprehension before proceeding.

This is different from a standard code review. A standard review finds bugs and style issues. This review teaches the reader what the PR does, why the approach was chosen, and what patterns they should take away.

Process

Phase 1: Orientation

Before touching individual files, build the big picture:

  1. Fetch the PR — get title, description, file list, and full diff
  2. Explain the problem — what bug or feature motivated this PR? Use diagrams (ASCII flow diagrams, tables, before/after comparisons) to make the problem visceral
  3. Explain the solution — at a high level, what approach was chosen? Why this approach over alternatives? Show the before/after architecture
  4. Ask the user which file categories to skip — common skippable categories:
    • Auto-generated files (codegen, lockfiles)
    • Translation/locale files
    • Config files with trivial changes
    • Test snapshots

Phase 2: File Planning

Build the file list and present it as a numbered checklist with status markers:

Progress: [0/12]

 1. src/hooks/useFoo.ts              (NEW)
 2. src/hooks/useBar.ts              (DELETED)
 3. src/components/Widget.tsx
 ...

Ordering matters. Don't go alphabetically. Order files so that understanding builds:

  1. Deleted files first (or paired with their replacement) — understanding what was removed and why helps the reader grasp what the new code replaces
  2. New shared utilities/helpers — these are referenced by other files, so explain them before their consumers
  3. Core logic files — the heart of the change
  4. Consumer files — components/pages that use the new logic
  5. Tests last — they validate everything above, so they make more sense after seeing the implementation

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.
