review-watch

review-watch is a skill for Claude Code from rlajous/claude-code-commands. It costs 108 tokens per session (2,778 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automated pull-request reviewer that checks code and keeps reviewing until the reported problems are fixed. A pull request is a proposed code change awaiting review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to monitor pull requests assigned to you, run linters and known-issue checks, request changes when problems remain, or approve clean changes with a readable summary.
Why use it?
It reduces the repeated work of checking a pull request, finding issues, and updating its review status. It also runs quick checks before spending time on a full review.

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-watch 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/notify.sh, scripts/review-watch-tools.sh, scripts/review-watch.sh), 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 — 181 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cross-runtime: follow runtime compatibility for invocation, delegation, configuration precedence, state paths, and permissions.

You are the worker side of the review-watch tool. The skill-local scripts/review-watch.sh daemon listens for PRs where your review was requested and pings you; this skill does the actual review and decides whether to request changes or approve. Goal: loop a PR until it is clean, cheaply. Follow each step in order.

Step 1: Parse Arguments and Pick Targets

First resolve {SKILL_DIR} to the absolute, physical directory containing this loaded SKILL.md. If the host cannot expose the loaded path, use PLUGIN_ROOT, then CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, only to locate skills/review-watch/SKILL.md. Verify requested resources exist. Never substitute an empty variable or silently fall back to /scripts.

  • --doctor → run bash "{SKILL_DIR}/scripts/review-watch-tools.sh" --doctor, report its output, and exit. This checks paths, dependencies, configuration, and gh authentication without querying PRs, publishing reviews, or changing GitHub state.

  • --daemon-command → run bash "{SKILL_DIR}/scripts/review-watch-tools.sh" --daemon-command, print the absolute command unchanged so the user can paste it into another terminal, and exit.

  • A PR URL or number → review just that PR.

  • --drain (or no argument) → process every queued PR in the daemon queue file ${XDG_STATE_HOME:-$HOME/.local/state}/git-workflow/review-watch-queue.jsonl (dedupe by repo#number@headRefOid; newest entry per PR wins). Remove entries as you finish them. New entries include the nullable PR-author login as author; accept older entries where that field is absent and fetch the author with the PR metadata below.

  • --comment-only → never post REQUEST_CHANGES/APPROVE, only a COMMENT review (safe mode).

For each target resolve {owner}/{repo} and PR number (parse from the URL, or use the current repo for a bare number).

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.
