What it does
Code Review is an agent skill from basicmachines-co/basic-memory. Use when reviewing Basic Machines code for house style, architecture risk, pre-merge hardening, or whether a change fits basic-memory/basic-memory-cloud conventions.
Its SKILL.md is about 730 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: AI conversations that actually remember. Never re-explain your project to your AI again. Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/tyvKNccgqN. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Reviewing Basic Machines code for house style
- Architecture risk
- Pre-merge hardening
- Whether a change fits basic-memory/basic-memory-cloud conventions
Example prompts
- “/code-review”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6982cfc. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Code Review loads about 732 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 323 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Basic Machines Review
Use this skill for repo-local review passes where ordinary code review needs Basic Machines house style and architecture judgment. Report findings only; do not edit code unless the user asks you to fix specific findings.
Scope
Review the current diff or named files against:
- The repo's
AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md docs/ENGINEERING_STYLE.md- The touched code paths and tests
Apply only the guidance for the active repo. In basic-memory, prioritize local-first
file/database/MCP boundaries. In basic-memory-cloud, prioritize tenant/workspace isolation,
cloud worker behavior, and web-v2 state/runtime boundaries.
Review Rubric
Report only concrete, falsifiable risks:
- Cognitive load: Is the change harder to understand than the problem requires?
- Change propagation: Will one product change force edits across unrelated layers?
- Knowledge duplication: Is the same rule encoded in multiple places that can drift?
- Accidental complexity: Did the change add abstractions, fallbacks, or state without need?
- Dependency direction: Are API/MCP/CLI, services, repositories, and UI stores respecting their intended boundaries?
- Domain model distortion: Do names and types still match the product concept, or did a transport/storage detail leak into the domain?
- Test oracle quality: Would the tests fail for the bug or regression the change claims to protect against?
House Rules To Check Explicitly
- No speculative
getattr(obj, "attr", default)for unknown model shapes. - No broad exception swallowing, warning-only failure paths, or hidden fallback behavior.
- No casts or
Anythat hide an unclear type relationship. - Dataclasses for internal value/result objects; Pydantic at validation/serialization boundaries.
- Narrow
Protocols when only a capability is needed. - Explicit async/resource ownership, cancellation, and cleanup.
- Meaningful regression tests or verification for risky changes.
- Comments explain why, not what.
Reporting Format
Lead with findings ordered by severity. Each finding should include:
| Severity | Use for |
|---|---|
high | A likely correctness, security, data-loss, or tenant/workspace isolation failure |
medium | A concrete maintainability or boundary risk that can cause future defects |
low | A minor consistency issue, ambiguous guidance, or review-only cleanup |
severity | file:line | risk category | claim
Why: concrete behavior or code path that proves the risk.
Fix: smallest practical change, or "none obvious" if the risk needs product input.If there are no findings, say so and note any verification gaps that remain.

Questions about Code Review
What does Code Review do?
A skill your agent uses when reviewing Basic Machines code for house style, architecture risk, pre-merge hardening, or whether a change fits basic-memory/basic-memory-cloud conventions. Code Review is an agent skill from basicmachines-co/basic-memory. Use when reviewing Basic Machines code for house style, architecture risk, pre-merge hardening, or whether a change fits basic-memory/basic-memory-cloud conventions.
When should I use Code Review?
Code Review fits situations like: reviewing Basic Machines code for house style; architecture risk; pre-merge hardening; whether a change fits basic-memory/basic-memory-cloud conventions.
How do I install Code Review in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add basicmachines-co/basic-memory --skill code-review -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/code-review in basicmachines-co/basic-memory) into .claude/skills/code-review in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Code Review in Codex?
Run `npx skills add basicmachines-co/basic-memory --skill code-review -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/code-review in basicmachines-co/basic-memory) into .agents/skills/code-review in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Code Review in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add basicmachines-co/basic-memory --skill code-review -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/code-review, .gemini/skills/code-review, .github/skills/code-review and .opencode/skills/code-review in your project.
What does Code Review need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Code Review is instructions for the agent only.
Does Code Review access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Code Review safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Code Review use?
Code Review is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Code Review use?
About 732 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
