What it does

Firewood Review is an agent skill from ava-labs/firewood. Use when reviewing ava-labs/firewood code changes — pull request or local workspace. Invoke with phrases like "review PR", "review my changes", "review this branch", "firewood review". Handles PR checkout, staged/unstaged changes, Rust toolchain, Go FFI, CI workflow, and multi-agent parallel review.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires Claude Code with git, cargo/rustup, go, and the gh CLI. Designed for use in the ava-labs/firewood workspace.

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests and Subagents. It works with Rust, Git and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Compaction-Less Database Optimized for Efficiently Storing Recent Merkleized Blockchain State.

Example prompts

“review PR”

Requirements

Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires Claude Code with git, cargo/rustup, go, and the gh CLI. Designed for use in the ava-labs/firewood workspace.
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash, Agent, AskUserQuestion, EnterWorktree, ExitWorktree, mcp__github__pull_request_read, mcp__github__list_pull_requests, mcp__github__get_commit, mcp__github__list_commits

Workflow steps

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

Setup
Parallel Agents
Synthesis

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 41f7041. 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
- Write
- Bash
- Agent
- AskUserQuestion
- EnterWorktree
- ExitWorktree
- mcp__github__pull_request_read
- mcp__github__list_pull_requests
- mcp__github__get_commit
…and 1 more on the same allowed-tools line.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- git
- cargo
- gh
- go
- rustc
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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.
Compatibility
Requires Claude Code with git, cargo/rustup, go, and the gh CLI. Designed for use in the ava-labs/firewood workspace.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Firewood Review loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 878 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.1k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md

allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash, Agent, AskUserQuestion, EnterWorktree, ExitWorktree, mcp__github__pull_request_re

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 878 words (~2,070 tokens).

“Firewood-specific local code review. Dispatches parallel agents covering Rust toolchain validation, Go FFI checks, CI workflow analysis, and deep code quality. Never publishes review output to GitHub unless explicitly instructed.”
