review-pr

review-pr is a skill for Claude Code from SteveVitali/agent-skills. It costs 66 tokens per session (2,550 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A high-precision GitHub pull-request review workflow for examining someone else's code changes. It gathers the pull request, changed files, existing discussions, and continuous-integration results, then checks design, security, and local behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a GitHub pull request, inspect CI and local checks, identify important design or security problems, and post focused inline feedback.
Why use it?
It grounds review comments in the actual patch and verification evidence, helping avoid speculative or low-value feedback. It also ranks issues by severity and supports inline correction suggestions.

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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/fetch-pr-context.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 — 224 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review PR

Review someone else's pull request and deliver the kind of review a rigorous human Staff Engineer would: grounded in evidence, labeled by severity, and quiet about everything that doesn't matter.

The prime directive is precision over recall. Developer trust in a reviewer collapses non-linearly with false positives — a handful of wrong or noisy comments and every future comment gets skimmed. A review that surfaces three real issues beats one that surfaces three real issues buried in ten speculative ones. When unsure whether an issue is real: it isn't. Drop it.

The governing standard (Google's, and ours): favor approval once the PR definitely improves the overall code health of the system, even if it isn't perfect. You are reviewing for "better", not "perfect".


Phase 0 — Gather context

Run the bundled context fetcher from the repo root (read-only):

// turbo

bash scripts/fetch-pr-context.sh <pr>

It resolves the PR (argument, or the current branch's open PR), and writes:

  • /tmp/pr-context.json — title, body, author, base/head refs, draft state, changed files with add/delete counts, CI check rollup
  • /tmp/pr-threads.json — all existing review threads with resolution state

Then gather what the script can't:

  1. The diff: gh pr diff <number> (or git diff base...head if checked out). Note which lines belong to diff hunks — GitHub rejects inline comments outside them.
  2. Intent: read the PR title, description, and any linked issue (Fixes #N / Closes #Ngh issue view N). If the description is empty, reconstruct intent from the commit messages. You cannot judge "does this do what it intends, and is that good for this codebase?" without knowing the intent. If intent is genuinely unrecoverable, say so in the review summary and review what the code does.
  3. Repo standards: read the repo's AGENTS.md / CONTRIBUTING.md / style or architecture docs for the touched areas. Comments grounded in the repo's own documented rules ("CONTRIBUTING.md requires X here") carry far more weight than generic best practices — prefer them.
  4. Existing feedback (from /tmp/pr-threads.json): what other reviewers and bots have already said. Never re-raise a point that has already been made, resolved, or explicitly dismissed on this PR.

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.
