Gerrit Skill

This skill provides Gerrit code review integration using git-review with a Python wrapper for markdown-formatted query output on read/view operations. Action commands (submit, review, abandon) should use git-review or SSH commands directly.

Network access

Gerrit commands require outbound HTTPS to the configured Gerrit REST API. Git fetch/push and git-review require HTTPS or SSH to the configured review and repository hosts. Remote operations require outbound network access. If the agent environment restricts it, obtain access through that environment's approval or network controls before the first remote command, reusing authorization already granted. Local help and file processing do not need network access. Skill instructions do not grant network permission. Report DNS, connection, and timeout failures as network errors; do not reset credentials to resolve them. If approved access also fails, stop and report it. Authentication and permission errors require user action.

Resolving script paths

SKILL_DIR in the examples is the directory containing this loaded SKILL.md. Set it to that absolute path before running commands; do not assume the agent sets this shell variable. Quote the script path if it contains spaces.

Prerequisites

Install git-review: pip install git-review — docs

Authentication

git-review uses SSH for authentication with Gerrit servers.

# Configure Gerrit username (if different from local user)
git config --global gitreview.username yourgerrituser

# Test SSH connection
ssh -p 29418 [email protected] gerrit version

# Add SSH key to Gerrit
# 1. Generate SSH key if needed: ssh-keygen -t ed25519
# 2. Copy public key: cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
# 3. Add to Gerrit: Settings > SSH Keys

Gerrit supports multiple authentication methods:

• SSH (recommended): Used by git-review for all operations
• HTTP/HTTPS: For web UI and REST API access (set password in Settings > HTTP Password)
