What it does

Once installed, the agent reviews a code change (uncommitted edits, a branch diff against its base, a commit, or custom instructions) the way a careful senior engineer would. It reads the diff and surrounding code, checks tests and call sites, and returns a prioritized list of concrete bugs or regressions, each with a file and line reference. It is explicitly told not to edit files, commit, push, post comments, or hand the job to another agent.

Great for

  • Developers who want a second set of eyes on a branch or commit before merging
  • Teams using agents to delegate review of work-in-progress changes
  • Maintainers who want findings ordered by severity rather than a long list of style nits

Skip it if

  • Replacing human review for security-critical or compliance-sensitive code, since it only flags issues it can demonstrate from the code
  • Projects without git, because the workflow depends on git diff and merge-base commands
  • Style or formatting feedback, which the skill is instructed to skip

Try asking

  • “Review my uncommitted changes and list any defects before I commit.”
  • “Review this branch against its base branch and report regressions.”
  • “Review commit abc1234 for correctness and security issues.”
  • “Review the changes in this PR using these custom instructions: focus on the database migration.”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Name the exact target (uncommitted, a base branch, or a commit hash) so the agent reviews the right diff.
  • Add an AGENTS.md file in the repo with project conventions; the skill reads it before reviewing.
  • Treat the output as a starting point and verify P0 and P1 findings yourself before acting on them.
