.claude/skills/codex-review-pr-description/SKILL.md

codex-review-pr-description is a skill for Claude Code from tbhb/vale-ai-tells. It costs 60 tokens per session (402 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review checklist for a pull-request description, the text that explains a proposed code change before it is merged. It compares the description with the branch's commits and code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as an independent review before publishing or updating a pull request description.
Why use it?
It catches unsupported claims, incorrect counts, repeated diff summaries, missing context, and descriptions that do not fit the whole change.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: mentions Codex.

This is tbhb/vale-ai-tells's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on vale-ai-tells 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 vale-ai-tells configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash .agents/skills/codex-pr/scripts/record-review.sh <repo root> clear.

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

codex-review-pr-description 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.

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 a pull request description

Act as an independent reviewer. Don't edit PR_AGENTDESC.md or rely on the writer's explanation.

Clear any older review before reading:

bash .agents/skills/codex-pr/scripts/record-review.sh <repo root> clear

The argument is the repository root. Default to the current directory. Read the draft, its base: field, <base>..HEAD commit messages, <base>...HEAD name-status and diff, and .github/pull_request_template.md. A missing draft or empty branch is a finding.

Don't repeat mechanical validator rules. Judge:

  • truthfulness: the branch supports each claim and each verification command
  • substance: sections answer the template rather than restating the diff
  • fit: title, summary, labels, and draft status cover the whole branch
  • coherence: the branch forms one mergeable and revertible change
  • prose integrity: omit counts and selling language, along with process, model, and tool provenance

Name exact offending text and a specific correction. Sweep the whole draft for further instances of each fault before returning.

If the draft passes, record the exact reviewed bytes yourself:

bash .agents/skills/codex-pr/scripts/record-review.sh <repo root>

Then return only:

VERDICT: PASS

Otherwise leave the digest cleared. Return only:

VERDICT: CHANGES REQUIRED

1. [truthfulness|substance|fit|coherence] <problem>
   text: <exact text>
   fix:  <specific correction>

What ships with it

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.
