What it does

Review is an agent skill from av/mi. Review code, a PR, branch, or staged diff. Use when asked to "review", "give feedback", "check this PR", or "what's wrong with this diff".

Its SKILL.md is about 870 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: self-extending sandboxed agentic harness. a loop, two tools and an llm.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to review
  • Whats wrong with this diff

Example prompts

  • “review”
  • “give feedback”
  • “check this PR”
  • “/review”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Get the diff and the intent. git diff ..HEAD / git diff --staged / whatever the user points at. Read the description first — the change's…
  2. Size gate. If the diff touches ≤ 3 files and ≤ 200 lines, review it in-context yourself and skip delegation. Do NOT spawn subagents for a…
  3. Partition by concern. Otherwise: split the diff by module / subsystem / changed-file cluster / tests-vs-impl — whichever boundary makes…
  4. Spawn one subagent per partition via node "$MI_PATH" -p '' with bg=truthy — the harness returns pid:X log:/tmp/mi-X.log and detaches the…
  5. Summary contract — each subagent writes /tmp/mi-review-.md with
  6. Aggregate. Dedupe overlapping findings across partitions. Group the output by severity or by file (ask the user if unclear). If every…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2bf50c9. 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
    • node

    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 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 865 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 384 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~865

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 384 words (~865 tokens).

“A review without intent is just grep. Always read the commit message / PR body / user-stated purpose before looking at any diff line.”
