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

pr-reviewing 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 9d 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.

HOTL PR Review

Overview

Review a pull request end-to-end across 4 dimensions (description/ticket, code changes, code scan, unit tests) using parallel subagents. Produces a structured verdict report and optionally posts line-level comments on GitHub.

Announce: "Starting PR review. Detecting platform and fetching PR data..."

Output Contract

This skill produces a structured review report. The canonical schema is defined in docs/contracts/pr-review-output.md. All platforms must emit every section in that contract. Platform-specific rendering (tables, inline comments, etc.) is handled by platform docs, not this skill.

Key rules from the contract:

  • All 9 sections always present, even on BLOCK
  • Dimension verdicts summarize sections; individual findings may have mixed severities
  • Overall verdict derived from dimension verdicts, not individual findings
  • The contract is mandatory even when platform-native findings are emitted before it

Step 1: Platform Detection & PR Fetching

Resolve the PR

  1. If the user provided a PR URL → parse org/repo and PR number from it
  2. If no URL → detect from current branch:
    • Try gh pr view --json number,title,body,baseRefName,headRefName,url → if succeeds, use GitHub mode
    • Try glab mr view → if succeeds, use GitLab mode
    • If both fail → use local-only mode (git diff against base branch)

Platform Modes

Platform CLI Mode Capabilities
GitHub (public) gh full Local report + post review comments
GitLab glab local-only Local report only
Enterprise/VPN none local-only Local report only (git diff fallback)

Fetch PR Data

Full mode (GitHub):

gh pr view <number> --json title,body,baseRefName,headRefName,changedFiles,additions,deletions
gh pr diff <number>

GitLab mode:

glab mr view <number>
glab mr diff <number>

Local-only fallback:

git log --oneline main..HEAD
git diff main...HEAD
git diff --name-only main...HEAD

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.
