review-queue

A pull-request review list that ranks open changes by how easy they are to inspect. A pull request is a proposed set of code changes, and stacked pull requests depend on one another.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to display reviewable pull requests with links, authors, line counts, preferences, and dependency relationships.
Why use it?
It helps reviewers decide what to inspect first and keeps dependent changes grouped in the correct order.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 40 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 394 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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-queue 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 2 executable files (format-queue.sh, pr-data.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.

What it actually says

Review Queue

Show open pull requests that need review, ranked by how easy they are to review.

Run the pipeline:

~/.claude/skills/review-queue/pr-data.sh | ~/.claude/skills/review-queue/format-queue.sh

If this fails (e.g. not in a git repo, or gh not authenticated), report the error and stop.

The output is a pre-formatted ranked list. If the first line starts with PREFERENCES:, apply those instructions to the list — reorder, exclude, group, or highlight PRs as described. Re-number the final list sequentially. Preserve the same line format: N\. [title](url) (author) [+N, -N] with backtick-wrapped labels separated by commas and tree indentation using └─ / ├─ / .

If there is no PREFERENCES: line, output the list as-is with no additional commentary.

A PR labeled other base is stacked on top of another branch, not the main branch. Never include an other base PR on its own — only show it nested under the PR for its base branch, as part of that stack. If applying preferences would exclude the base PR (or the base PR isn't in the queue), drop the other base PR too, since it can't be reviewed in isolation. Never re-parent an other base PR to a different branch to keep it in the list.

The line counts exclude test files, spec files, docs, and lock files.

Files

What ships with it

3 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-queue is a skill published in the GitHub repository ryanb/dotfiles (2,399 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 394 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.
