How to use the PR Comment Politeness Evaluator agent skill
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
The PR Comment Politeness Evaluator is an agent skill, a small set of instructions that an AI agent loads when it is asked to do a particular job. This one, named pr-comment-evaluator, lets the agent read a pull request review comment and say whether it sounds polite or not. This guide explains what the skill does, how to install it, how to ask for it, and where its limits are, so you can decide whether it fits your team.

- 1Download the ZIP. Get the skill ZIP from the page where you found this guide.
- 2Unzip the skill folder. Place it in ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or in a project's .claude/skills/ folder for one repository.
- 3Or upload it in the apps. In the Claude apps, go to Settings → Capabilities → Skills and upload the ZIP instead.
- 4Ask about tone. Paste a PR review comment and ask whether it sounds polite, naming the skill if you want to be sure.
- 5Keep to tone. Use it for politeness only and check the code's correctness and risk separately.
What does the pr-comment-evaluator skill make the agent do?
The skill has one job: judge whether a pull request review comment sounds polite. Its description reads 'Use to judge whether a PR review comment sounds polite.' and its instructions say only to judge politeness and not to discuss code risk or technical correctness.
It is a small demo piece from a feedback-loop example in the Cognee project, not a general code reviewer. It does not look for bugs, security issues or style problems.
- Judges tone of a PR review comment
- Explicitly excludes code risk and technical correctness
- Does not review code
How do I install the skill?
Download the ZIP file for the skill from the page where you found this guide. Unzip it so that the skill folder sits in one of two places: your personal skills folder at ~/.claude/skills/, or a project's .claude/skills/ folder if you want it available only inside one repository.
If you use the Claude apps instead, you can upload the skill under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
The skill's files are a single SKILL.md file, so after unzipping you should see that file inside the skill folder.
- Option 1: unzip into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use
- Option 2: unzip into a project's .claude/skills/ for one repository
- Option 3: upload the ZIP under Settings → Capabilities → Skills in the Claude apps
How do I trigger the skill with a natural request?
You do not need a special command. The skill's description is about judging whether a PR review comment sounds polite, so ask the agent in plain language about that task and include the comment text. Name the skill directly if you want to be sure it is used.
Keep your request on tone. If you ask about whether the code is correct, the skill will not cover that question.
- Is this PR comment polite? Paste the comment.
- Use the pr-comment-evaluator skill to check the tone of this review comment before I post it.
- Does this review comment sound rude to the author?
What does it need and what are its safety notes?
The skill lists no requirements. It does not run scripts and does not use the network. The only file in the package is SKILL.md, so there is no executable code to review beyond that instruction text.
Because the skill contains only instructions, its behaviour depends on the agent's own judgment about politeness. The file gives no criteria for what counts as polite beyond its description.
- Requires: nothing listed
- Runs scripts: no
- Uses network: no
- Files: SKILL.md only
What are good tips for getting useful results?
Paste the full comment, including any context the author will see, so the agent judges the wording as it will be read. Use the skill for a quick tone check before posting, not as a substitute for a human review of the code itself.
If you are learning how agent skills are written, read SKILL.md. It is short and shows how a narrow, single-purpose skill sets its scope.
- Paste the complete comment text
- Check tone, then review the code yourself
- Read SKILL.md to see how a narrow skill is written
What people use it for
- Checking a review comment for a harsh tone before posting it to a pull request
- Comparing two wordings of the same feedback to see which sounds more polite
- Studying how a narrow, single-purpose agent skill is written
- Building a small example feedback loop for evaluating agent behaviour
Frequently asked questions

Is the PR Comment Politeness Evaluator free to use?
The project is released under the Apache-2.0 licence, which is listed for this item. The source does not give pricing for any other service, so check your own agent platform for its costs.
What does the skill need to run?
The skill lists no requirements. It runs no scripts and uses no network, and the package contains only a SKILL.md file.
Can this skill check whether my code is correct or safe?
No. The skill's instructions tell the agent to judge only politeness and not to discuss code risk or technical correctness. Use a code review process or a different tool for that.
What counts as polite according to the skill?
The file gives no criteria beyond its description of judging whether a PR review comment sounds polite. Results depend on the agent's judgment, so treat them as a quick tone check.
Is there an alternative for checking code review tone?
The source does not name alternatives. If you need detailed or formal style review, this skill is not designed for that, since it has no criteria for it.

Our verdict
Use this skill if you want a quick, narrow tone check on PR review comments before posting, or if you want a clean example of a single-purpose agent skill to study. Pick something else if you need code correctness or safety checks, or a detailed style review, because this skill deliberately covers only politeness and gives little guidance on what counts as polite.
