review-pr

A workflow for reviewing GitHub pull requests, which are proposed code changes, with structured comments. It uses Claude Code agents to inspect the changes and can save feedback as editable YAML before posting it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch a pull request with the GitHub CLI, assess its changes and design decisions, generate actionable comments, preview them, and optionally post them to GitHub.
Why use it?
It organizes review findings around architecture, security, tests, design, and code quality instead of leaving feedback as unstructured notes. You can review or edit the generated comments before they are submitted.

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

review-pr 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (review-pr.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PR Review Skill

Generate and post AI-powered PR review comments to GitHub following engineering best practices.

Usage

/review-pr <pr-number>         # Generate review (step 1)
/review-pr <pr-number> --post  # Post review to GitHub (step 2)

Examples:

  • /review-pr 180 - Generate review and save to YAML file
  • /review-pr 180 --post - Post the reviewed YAML to GitHub

What this skill does

Step 1: Generate (/review-pr <number>)

  1. Fetches PR details from GitHub using the gh CLI
  2. Performs architectural review (NEW!): Questions design decisions, checks for scope creep, validates use cases
  3. Analyzes changes for security, testing, design patterns, and code quality issues
  4. Differentiates contexts: CLI code vs GitHub Actions code (different standards)
  5. Creates actionable feedback: Specific refactoring suggestions based on file names and patterns
  6. Generates structured review comments in an editable YAML file
  7. Shows preview of all generated comments

Step 2: Post (/review-pr <number> --post)

  1. Reads the YAML file you reviewed/edited
  2. Posts to GitHub: Submits all enabled comments to the PR
  3. Automatic fallback: If GitHub API posting fails (e.g., Enterprise Managed User restrictions), automatically generates a markdown file with formatted comments for manual copy/paste

Engineering Review Principles

This skill enforces the following principles:

Architectural Review (NEW!)

  • Design Decision Validation: Questions "why" before reviewing "how"
  • Scope Creep Detection: Flags expansions beyond Agent365 deployment/management
  • Use Case Validation: Requires concrete scenarios for new features
  • Overlap Detection: Identifies duplication with existing tools (Azure CLI, Portal)
  • YAGNI Enforcement: Questions features without documented need

Architecture & Patterns

  • .NET architect patterns: Reviews follow .NET best practices
  • Azure CLI alignment: Ensures consistency with az cli patterns and conventions
  • Cross-platform compatibility: Validates Windows, Linux, and macOS compatibility (for CLI code)

What ships with it

2 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.

review-pr is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/Agent365-devTools (61 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,709 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
