.agents/skills/dakota-review/SKILL.md

dakota-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from projectbluefin/dakota. It costs 24 tokens per session (875 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review guide for Dakota pull requests and related issues. A pull request is a proposed code change awaiting review; the guide also covers contributor reports, labels, and hardware verification evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review pull requests, inspect checks, handle scoped issues, read attached reports, apply labels, or assess post-release hardware confirmation.
Why use it?
It gives reviewers a consistent way to check the target branch, scope, required tests, ownership, and real-device evidence before approving or closing work.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is projectbluefin/dakota's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on dakota itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything dakota configures →

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

dakota-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 2d 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.

Dakota Review and Issue Workflow

Review pull requests and issues with high discipline: minimal diff, correct target branch, evidence-based verification, and strict boundaries.

When to Use

  • Performing code or architecture reviews on PRs in projectbluefin/dakota
  • Triaging issues, user-donated diagnostic gists (ujust report), or verification comments
  • Enforcing contributor guidelines, PR checklists, and commit hygiene

When NOT to Use

  • Writing code changes or authoring elements → load dakota-buildstream or dakota-packaging
  • Modifying release promotion or signing gates → load dakota-release
  • Authoring CI workflows → load dakota-ci

Core Process

  1. Verify Target Branch: Ensure PR targets testing (or next if explicitly tracking rolling), never main.
  2. Review Hygiene & Commits:
    • Check commit format: <type>(<scope>): <description>.
    • Ensure commits use Assisted-by:, never Co-authored-by:.
  3. Inspect Implementation:
    • Ensure image changes use BuildStream elements (no DNF, RPMs, or Containerfiles).
    • Ensure layer additions use kind: compose (never kind: stack).
    • Check that third-party GitHub Actions are pinned to full commit SHAs.
  4. Evaluate Evidence:
    • For bugs, check for attached gists from ujust report.
    • Verify that claimed test results were actually executed (just validate, just boot-test, etc.).
  5. Constructive Feedback:
    • If asked to post feedback, compose at most one concise, actionable comment.
    • Never restate GitHub UI status (e.g. "checks are passing").

Invariants

  • PROHIBITION ON ublue-os/*: Never write to any ublue-os/* repository under any circumstance. Ask a human to report upstream manually.
  • Commit Trailer Invariant: Use Assisted-by:, never Co-authored-by:.
  • Target Branch: PRs must target testing. main is a release bookmark.
  • Hardware Evidence Priority: verified: N/3 on issues is post-ship proof that cannot be substituted by CI. Do not close bugs without hardware verification or explicit maintainer direction.
  • Communication Etiquette: Do not post automated comments or review messages unless explicitly commanded by the user.

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.
