What it does

Six Dimension Code Review is an agent skill from a5c-ai/babysitter. Structured pull-request review across six fixed dimensions — correctness, clarity, consistency, coverage, complexity, and change-scope — producing a per-dimension verdict plus severity-tagged findings. Use when reviewing a PR diff or running the collaboration PR lifecycles.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 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 and Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: Babysitter enforces obedience on agentic workforces and enables them to manage extremely complex tasks and workflows through deterministic, hallucination-free self-orchestration. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing a PR diff
  • Running the collaboration PR lifecycles

Example prompts

  • “/six-dimension-code-review”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit feb68ab. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Six Dimension Code Review loads about 700 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 234 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~700

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.

Six-Dimension Code Review

The rubric hardcoded as the DIMENSIONS array in ../../code-review/six-dimension-review.js (@process specializations/collaboration/code-review/six-dimension-review) and depended on by ../../github/pr-lifecycle-feature.js. Each dimension is reviewed independently and in parallel; one lens per pass.

The six dimensions

  • correctness — Does the code do what the PR claims? Any logical bugs, off-by-one, race conditions, null/undef hazards, error-path gaps?
  • clarity — Is intent obvious from the code? Names, structure, comments where non-obvious. Flag cleverness that sacrifices readability.
  • consistency — Does the change match existing patterns, conventions, and architectural boundaries in the repo?
  • coverage — Are there tests for the new behavior? Do existing tests still exercise the right paths? Any coverage gaps for edge cases?
  • complexity — Is the solution as simple as it can be? Any over-engineering, premature abstraction, unused flexibility?
  • change-scope — Is the PR focused on one concern? Any drive-by edits, mixed refactor+feature, or churn that belongs in a separate PR?

Output shape

Each dimension pass returns:

json
{
  "findings": [
    {
      "severity": "block",
      "path": "src/example.ts",
      "line": 42,
      "detail": "…",
      "suggestion": "…"
    }
  ],
  "summary": "string"
}

severity is one of block, nit, or info. The process aggregates the six passes into a per-dimension verdict map plus two flattened lists — blockingFindings (every block finding, tagged with its dimension) and nits (every nit finding, likewise tagged) — and a joined summary. The review succeeds only when blockingFindings is empty.

../../code-review/validator.js uses a different, broader dimension set — quality, architecture, tests, security, ux, business — and materialises non-blocking findings as deferred debt on disk. This skill documents the six-dimension rubric only; the two are not interchangeable.
