ci-review

ci-review is a skill for Claude Code from yarlson/yarstack. It costs 50 tokens per session (477 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review guide for continuous integration (CI), the automated checks that run when code changes. It examines workflow design and reports issues without changing the workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review triggers, jobs, commands, permissions, secrets, caches, artifacts, test matrices, required checks, releases and deployments, then classify each finding as keep, simplify, merge, fix, remove or owner decision.
Why use it?
It helps find stale, duplicated, ineffective or unsafe automation before it causes misleading checks, wasted work or release problems. It also connects each workflow part to the contract it is meant to protect.

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

ci-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 7d 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.

CI Review

Show which CI components protect a real contract, and which are stale, redundant, unsafe, or ineffective.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the repository, the comparison target if there is one, the supported platforms, and the checks required for merge.
  2. Map the triggers, jobs, called commands, environments, token permissions, secrets, caches, artifacts, release paths, deployment paths, and required checks. Note each trigger that runs code from forks or untrusted contributors, and the secrets and permissions that code receives.
  3. For each component, name its consumer and the contract it enforces. Read the repository, and, when the host allows it, bounded read-only run history such as gh run list --workflow <file> --limit 20, to see whether a check actually runs, fails, or is skipped.
  4. Look for duplicated logic, mismatched tool versions, path filters that skip required checks, unused matrix entries, ignored results such as continue-on-error or || true, retries that hide flaky tests, dead paths, permissions broader than the job needs, third-party actions referenced by a mutable tag or branch, and caches or artifacts that nothing reads.
  5. Classify each actionable item as keep, simplify, merge, fix, remove, or owner decision.
  6. Delegate tool provenance to dependency-review, exploit paths to security-review, infrastructure semantics to infra-review, runtime readiness to rollout-readiness-review, and test sufficiency to test-gap-review.

Do not edit workflows, rerun jobs, or change repository settings. Do not remove a safety gate on speculation, recommend scanners for appearance, or propose a broad rewrite.

Result

For each finding, report the location, the affected contract, the evidence, the consequence, the recommended disposition, the risk of making the change, and how to verify it. Order findings by consequence. State the scope, the evidence limits, and the smallest sequence of cleanup steps, or state that nothing is actionable. Recommendations do not authorize implementation.

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.
