What it does

PR Review Expert is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Use when the user asks to review pull requests, analyze code changes, check for security issues in PRs, or assess code quality of diffs.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k 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 Pull requests and Code quality. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to review pull requests
  • Analyze code changes
  • Check for security issues in PRs
  • Assess code quality of diffs

Example prompts

  • “/pr-review-expert”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in JIRA_API_TOKEN
  • A credential in LINEAR_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Fetch Context
  2. Blast Radius Analysis
  3. Security Scan
  4. Test Coverage Delta
  5. Breaking Change Detection
  6. Performance Impact

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. 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
    • glab
    • jq
    • curl
    • npm
    • pytest

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.linear.app

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • JIRA_API_TOKEN
    • LINEAR_API_KEY

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

Context cost

PR Review Expert loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 501 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k

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: warnings

PR Review Expert

Tier: POWERFUL Category: Engineering Domain: Code Review / Quality Assurance


Overview

Structured, systematic code review for GitHub PRs and GitLab MRs. Goes beyond style nits — this skill performs blast radius analysis, security scanning, breaking change detection, and test coverage delta calculation. Produces a reviewer-ready report with a 30+ item checklist and prioritized findings.


Core Capabilities

  • Blast radius analysis — trace which files, services, and downstream consumers could break
  • Security scan — SQL injection, XSS, auth bypass, secret exposure, dependency vulns
  • Test coverage delta — new code vs new tests ratio
  • Breaking change detection — API contracts, DB schema migrations, config keys
  • Ticket linking — verify Jira/Linear ticket exists and matches scope
  • Performance impact — N+1 queries, bundle size regression, memory allocations

When to Use

  • Before merging any PR/MR that touches shared libraries, APIs, or DB schema
  • When a PR is large (>200 lines changed) and needs structured review
  • Onboarding new contributors whose PRs need thorough feedback
  • Security-sensitive code paths (auth, payments, PII handling)
  • After an incident — review similar PRs proactively

Fetching the Diff

GitHub (gh CLI)
bash
# View diff in terminal
gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER>

# Get PR metadata (title, body, labels, linked issues)
gh pr view <PR_NUMBER> --json title,body,labels,assignees,milestone

# List files changed
gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER> --name-only

# Check CI status
gh pr checks <PR_NUMBER>

# Download diff to file for analysis
gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER> > /tmp/pr-<PR_NUMBER>.diff
GitLab (glab CLI)
bash
# View MR diff
glab mr diff <MR_IID>

# MR details as JSON
glab mr view <MR_IID> --output json

# List changed files
glab mr diff <MR_IID> --name-only

# Download diff
glab mr diff <MR_IID> > /tmp/mr-<MR_IID>.diff

Workflow

Step 1 — Fetch Context
bash
PR=123
gh pr view $PR --json title,body,labels,milestone,assignees | jq .
gh pr diff $PR --name-only
gh pr diff $PR > /tmp/pr-$PR.diff
Step 2 — Blast Radius Analysis

For each changed file, identify:

  1. Direct dependents — who imports this file?
bash
# Find all files importing a changed module
grep -r "from ['\"].*changed-module['\"]" src/ --include="*.ts" -l
grep -r "require(['\"].*changed-module" src/ --include="*.js" -l

# Python
grep -r "from changed_module import\|import changed_module" . --include="*.py" -l
  1. Service boundaries — does this change cross a service?
bash
# Check if changed files span multiple services (monorepo)
gh pr diff $PR --name-only | cut -d/ -f1-2 | sort -u
  1. Shared contracts — types, interfaces, schemas
bash
gh pr diff $PR --name-only | grep -E "types/|interfaces/|schemas/|models/"

Blast radius severity:

  • CRITICAL — shared library, DB model, auth middleware, API contract
  • HIGH — service used by >3 others, shared config, env vars
  • MEDIUM — single service internal change, utility function
  • LOW — UI component, test file, docs
Step 3 — Security Scan
bash
DIFF=/tmp/pr-$PR.diff

# SQL Injection — raw query string interpolation
grep -n "query\|execute\|raw(" $DIFF | grep -E '\$\{|f"|%s|format\('

# Hardcoded secrets
grep -nE "(password|secret|api_key|token|private_key)\s*=\s*['\"][^'\"]{8,}" $DIFF

# AWS key pattern
grep -nE "AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}" $DIFF

# JWT secret in code
grep -nE "jwt\.sign\(.*['\"][^'\"]{20,}['\"]" $DIFF

# XSS vectors
grep -n "dangerouslySetInnerHTML\|innerHTML\s*=" $DIFF

# Auth bypass patterns
grep -n "bypass\|skip.*auth\|noauth\|TODO.*auth" $DIFF

# Insecure hash algorithms
grep -nE "md5\(|sha1\(|createHash\(['\"]md5|createHash\(['\"]sha1" $DIFF

# eval / exec
grep -nE "\beval\(|\bexec\(|\bsubprocess\.call\(" $DIFF

# Prototype pollution
grep -n "__proto__\|constructor\[" $DIFF

# Path traversal risk
grep -nE "path\.join\(.*req\.|readFile\(.*req\." $DIFF
Step 4 — Test Coverage Delta
bash
# Count source vs test files changed
CHANGED_SRC=$(gh pr diff $PR --name-only | grep -vE "\.test\.|\.spec\.|__tests__")
CHANGED_TESTS=$(gh pr diff $PR --name-only | grep -E "\.test\.|\.spec\.|__tests__")

echo "Source files changed: $(echo "$CHANGED_SRC" | wc -w)"
echo "Test files changed:   $(echo "$CHANGED_TESTS" | wc -w)"

# Lines of new logic vs new test lines
LOGIC_LINES=$(grep "^+" /tmp/pr-$PR.diff | grep -v "^+++" | wc -l)
echo "New lines added: $LOGIC_LINES"

# Run coverage locally
npm test -- --coverage --changedSince=main 2>/dev/null | tail -20
pytest --cov --cov-report=term-missing 2>/dev/null | tail -20

Coverage delta rules:

  • New function without tests → flag
  • Deleted tests without deleted code → flag
  • Coverage drop >5% → block merge
  • Auth/payments paths → require 100% coverage
Step 5 — Breaking Change Detection
API Contract Changes
bash
# OpenAPI/Swagger spec changes
grep -n "openapi\|swagger" /tmp/pr-$PR.diff | head -20

# REST route removals or renames
grep "^-" /tmp/pr-$PR.diff | grep -E "router\.(get|post|put|delete|patch)\("

# GraphQL schema removals
grep "^-" /tmp/pr-$PR.diff | grep -E "^-\s*(type |field |Query |Mutation )"

# TypeScript interface removals
grep "^-" /tmp/pr-$PR.diff | grep -E "^-\s*(export\s+)?(interface|type) "
DB Schema Changes
bash
# Migration files added
gh pr diff $PR --name-only | grep -E "migrations?/|alembic/|knex/"

# Destructive operations
grep -E "DROP TABLE|DROP COLUMN|ALTER.*NOT NULL|TRUNCATE" /tmp/pr-$PR.diff

# Index removals (perf regression risk)
grep "DROP INDEX\|remove_index" /tmp/pr-$PR.diff
Config / Env Var Changes
bash
# New env vars referenced in code (might be missing in prod)
grep "^+" /tmp/pr-$PR.diff | grep -oE "process\.env\.[A-Z_]+" | sort -u

# Removed env vars (could break running instances)
grep "^-" /tmp/pr-$PR.diff | grep -oE "process\.env\.[A-Z_]+" | sort -u
Step 6 — Performance Impact
bash
# N+1 query patterns (DB calls inside loops)
grep -n "\.find\|\.findOne\|\.query\|db\." /tmp/pr-$PR.diff | grep "^+" | head -20
# Then check surrounding context for forEach/map/for loops

# Heavy new dependencies
grep "^+" /tmp/pr-$PR.diff | grep -E '"[a-z@].*":\s*"[0-9^~]' | head -20

# Unbounded loops
grep -n "while (true\|while(true" /tmp/pr-$PR.diff | grep "^+"

# Missing await (accidentally sequential promises)
grep -n "await.*await" /tmp/pr-$PR.diff | grep "^+" | head -10

# Large in-memory allocations
grep -n "new Array([0-9]\{4,\}\|Buffer\.alloc" /tmp/pr-$PR.diff | grep "^+"

Ticket Linking Verification

bash
# Extract ticket references from PR body
gh pr view $PR --json body | jq -r '.body' | \
  grep -oE "(PROJ-[0-9]+|[A-Z]+-[0-9]+|https://linear\.app/[^)\"]+)" | sort -u

# Verify Jira ticket exists (requires JIRA_API_TOKEN to be SET in the environment).
# Credentials are fed to curl via a config read from stdin (-K -) so the token
# never appears in argv — `ps aux` / /proc/*/cmdline can't see it, and nothing
# secret lands in shell history. Never paste the raw token on the command line.
TICKET="PROJ-123"
: "${JIRA_API_TOKEN:?JIRA_API_TOKEN must be set}"
curl -s -K - "https://your-org.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/$TICKET" <<EOF | \
  jq '{key, summary: .fields.summary, status: .fields.status.name}'
user = "user@company.com:$JIRA_API_TOKEN"
EOF

# Linear ticket — same pattern: the Authorization header goes through the
# stdin config, not a -H flag, to keep the key out of the process list.
LINEAR_ID="abc-123"
: "${LINEAR_API_KEY:?LINEAR_API_KEY must be set}"
curl -s -K - -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data "{\"query\": \"{ issue(id: \\\"$LINEAR_ID\\\") { title state { name } } }\"}" \
  https://api.linear.app/graphql <<EOF | jq .
header = "Authorization: $LINEAR_API_KEY"
EOF

Security note: for repeated Jira use, prefer a ~/.netrc entry (machine your-org.atlassian.net login user@company.com password <token>, chmod 600 ~/.netrc) and call curl -s --netrc … — no secret material in the command at all.

Output Format

Structure your review comment as:

## PR Review: [PR Title] (#NUMBER)

Blast Radius: HIGH — changes lib/auth used by 5 services
Security: 1 finding (medium severity)
Tests: Coverage delta +2%
Breaking Changes: None detected

--- MUST FIX (Blocking) ---

1. SQL Injection risk in src/db/users.ts:42
   Raw string interpolation in WHERE clause.
   Fix: db.query("SELECT * WHERE id = $1", [userId])

--- SHOULD FIX (Non-blocking) ---

2. Missing auth check on POST /api/admin/reset
   No role verification before destructive operation.

--- SUGGESTIONS ---

3. N+1 pattern in src/services/reports.ts:88
   findUser() called inside results.map() — batch with findManyUsers(ids)

--- LOOKS GOOD ---
- Test coverage for new auth flow is thorough
- DB migration has proper down() rollback method
- Error handling consistent with rest of codebase

Common Pitfalls

  • Reviewing style over substance — let the linter handle style; focus on logic, security, correctness
  • Missing blast radius — a 5-line change in a shared utility can break 20 services
  • Approving untested happy paths — always verify error paths have coverage
  • Ignoring migration risk — NOT NULL additions need a default or two-phase migration
  • Indirect secret exposure — secrets in error messages/logs, not just hardcoded values
  • Skipping large PRs — if a PR is too large to review properly, request it be split

Best Practices

  1. Read the linked ticket before looking at code — context prevents false positives
  2. Check CI status before reviewing — don't review code that fails to build
  3. Prioritize blast radius and security over style
  4. Reproduce locally for non-trivial auth or performance changes
  5. Label each comment clearly: "nit:", "must:", "question:", "suggestion:"
  6. Batch all comments in one review round — don't trickle feedback
  7. Acknowledge good patterns, not just problems — specific praise improves culture
