What it does
Code Review is an agent skill from BenCodez/VotingPlugin. Review VotingPlugin pull requests, branch diffs, commits, and explicitly included local changes before publishing. Use for code review, pre-PR review, regression review, security review, and PR readiness. Perform an independent, source-read-only review and report concrete bugs with P0-P3 priorities and precise file/line locations. Do not use this skill to implement fixes.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `tests/coverage-contract.sh`).
It sits in Development, covering Pull requests, Code review and Security review.
When your agent uses it
- Regression review
- Security review
- Implement fixes
Example prompts
- “/code-review”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Establish the exact review snapshot
- Keep the reviewer independent
- Trace changed behavior and its contracts
- Validate the reviewed snapshot locally
- Verify findings and assign priority
- Return an honest result and stop
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 834bcb8. 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
Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitmvn
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
Code Review loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,095 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,095 words (~4,426 tokens).
“Review the exact proposed change, not the author's explanation of it. Find substantiated correctness, compatibility, security, concurrency, durability, and lifecycle defects. This file is self-contained: no helper scripts, reference files, custom-agent profiles, or particular model/provider are required. It is a…”
