github-deep-review

github-deep-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sublimecoder/aios. It costs 26 tokens per session (1,269 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured process for investigating GitHub issues and pull requests by reading the relevant code, discussion, changes, and checks. It aims to determine the actual bug, the best fix, and whether a broader redesign is justified.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review GitHub issues and pull requests, inspect diffs and project history, assess contributors' context, and recommend a fix.
Why use it?
It replaces guesses and generic summaries with conclusions tied to evidence from the repository. It also distinguishes a real unresolved problem from a stale or weakly supported report.

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

github-deep-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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Deep Review

Review rigorously: high-confidence, evidence-first, code-aware, and willing to say "not proven" when the trail is weak. The goal is not a generic summary. The goal is to understand the bug class, find the real cause if possible, decide the best fix after reading enough code, and call out whether a larger refactor would improve the design.

Start

Use gh, not web browsing, for GitHub refs:

gh issue view <n> --json number,title,state,author,body,comments,labels,updatedAt,url
gh pr view <n> --json number,title,state,author,body,comments,reviews,files,commits,statusCheckRollup,mergeStateStatus,headRefName,headRepositoryOwner,url
gh pr diff <n> --patch

Treat every author uniformly. For PRs, collect author context by default from the gh JSON above — you already have the author login, PR history, and commit list. When it helps the review, pull prior contributions with gh api users/<login> or gh search prs --author <login> --repo <owner>/<repo>, and include a short Author context: block near the top of the review.

For repo-local review, also inspect:

git status --short --branch
git fetch origin
git log --oneline --decorate -20
rg "<key symbol/error/config/endpoint>"

If the repo has local instructions, issue/PR skills, docs lists, test guidance, or maintainer runbooks, read those before deciding.

Review Contract

Always answer these, explicitly:

  • URL/ref: issue or PR number and affected surface.
  • What is the bug or behavior being fixed?
  • Can we identify the root cause? If yes, where in code and why. If no, what evidence is missing.
  • For regressions, who/what introduced it and when? Include commit/PR provenance when traceable by bounded history; say unknown instead of guessing.
  • Is the current/proposed fix the best possible fix after reading adjacent code?
  • Would a bigger refactor improve correctness, clarity, or future maintainability?
  • What proof exists: tests, live repro, CI checks, docs, dependency docs/source, shipped/current behavior.
  • What remains risky or unverified.

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.
