What it does

Code Review is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Expert code review specialist for quality, security, and maintainability. Use when reviewing code changes, ensuring high development standards, or conducting security audits. Provides actionable feedback organized by priority.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/code-analysis.template.md`, `references/review-checklist.md` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Code review and Security review. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing code changes
  • Ensuring high development standards
  • Conducting security audits

Example prompts

  • “/code-review”

Requirements

  • A credential in API_KEY

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Analyze Changes
  2. Review Checklist
  3. Organize Feedback
  4. Provide Specific Examples

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • API_KEY

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

Context cost

Code Review loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 678 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.8k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 678 words (~1,838 tokens).

“This skill provides expert code review capabilities focusing on code quality, security vulnerabilities, and maintainability. It analyzes code changes and provides prioritized, actionable feedback.”
