What it does

Review is an agent skill from 0xku/kon. Review code changes and return prioritized, actionable findings

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Code review. The repository describes itself as: Kon is a minimal coding agent (and also a highly opinionated one). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Code review

Example prompts

  • “/review”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f5862a0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Review loads about 958 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 556 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~958

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

review code changes

Review the requested code changes as if you are reviewing another engineer's PR.

User-provided target or constraints (honor these): $ARGUMENTS

Target selection

  • If no target is provided, review the current code changes: staged, unstaged, and untracked files.
  • If the user provides a base branch, review the changes that would merge into that branch. Find the merge base and inspect the diff from that commit.
  • If the user provides a commit SHA, review only the changes introduced by that commit.
  • If the user provides a PR number, PR URL, or text like PR#68 feat/headless-mode "feat: add non-interactive prompt mode", assume the GitHub CLI is available. Use gh pr view to inspect PR metadata, resolve the base/head branches, fetch as needed, compute the merge base, and review the PR diff. Do not checkout a different branch unless the user explicitly asks or confirms.
  • For PRs, do not assume the head branch exists on origin; it may live on a contributor fork. Prefer gh pr checkout --detach <number> only if checkout is acceptable, or fetch the head repository/ref reported by gh pr view --json headRepository,headRefName into a temporary remote/ref before diffing.
  • For a PR scenario such as /review PR#68 feat/headless-mode "feat: add non-interactive prompt mode", use the PR number/title/branch as hints, verify them with gh pr view 68, then review the code changes relative to the PR base branch.

Review rubric

Only report issues the original author would likely fix if they knew about them.

Flag a finding only when:

  • it meaningfully affects correctness, security, performance, reliability, or maintainability;
  • it is discrete and actionable;
  • it appears introduced by the reviewed change;
  • you can identify the affected code path or user scenario;
  • it is not merely a style preference, nit, or intentional behavior change.

Do not stop at the first issue. Return all qualifying findings. If there are no findings worth fixing, say so clearly.

Investigation guidance

Use repository tools to inspect the actual diff and surrounding code. Prefer precise commands such as:

  • git status --short
  • git diff --staged
  • git diff
  • git diff <merge-base>...HEAD
  • git show <sha>
  • gh pr view <number> --json number,title,body,baseRefName,headRefName,url,author

Read nearby implementation and tests when needed to prove whether a suspected issue is real. Avoid speculative findings.

Priority rubric

Use these severity levels for finding titles:

  • [P0] — Drop everything to fix. Blocking release, operations, or major usage. Only use for universal issues that do not depend on assumptions about inputs.
  • [P1] — Urgent. Should be addressed in the next cycle.
  • [P2] — Normal. Should be fixed eventually.
  • [P3] — Low. Nice to have.

Finding format

For each finding, include:

  • priority tag in the title: [P0], [P1], [P2], or [P3];
  • concise title;
  • file path and line range;
  • one short paragraph explaining why this is a bug and when it matters;
  • confidence score if useful.

Keep line ranges as short as possible and make sure they overlap the reviewed diff when possible.

End with an overall verdict:

  • patch is correct if existing code/tests should not break and no blocking issues were found;
  • patch is incorrect if the patch has blocking correctness, security, reliability, or maintainability issues that should prevent merging.

Do not mark a patch incorrect for non-blocking issues such as style, formatting, typos, documentation nits, or ordinary [P2]/[P3] follow-ups unless they still indicate the patch should not merge.

Do not fix the code unless the user asks after the review.

Questions about Review

What does Review do?

Review code changes and return prioritized, actionable findings. Review is an agent skill from 0xku/kon.

When should I use Review?

Review fits situations like: tasks that involve Code review.

How do I install Review in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add 0xku/kon --skill review -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (src/kon/builtin_skills/review in 0xku/kon) into .claude/skills/review in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Review in Codex?

Run `npx skills add 0xku/kon --skill review -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (src/kon/builtin_skills/review in 0xku/kon) into .agents/skills/review in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Review in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add 0xku/kon --skill review -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/review, .gemini/skills/review, .github/skills/review and .opencode/skills/review in your project.

What does Review need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Review needs the command-line tools its instructions call (gh and git).

Does Review access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use gh and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Review safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Review use?

Review is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Review use?

About 958 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
