What it does

Code Review is an agent skill from ClickHouse/clickhouse-java. Review changes in clickhouse-java for correctness, compatibility, API stability, and missing tests. Use when reviewing pull requests, commits, diffs, patches, or when the user asks for a code review.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 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, Data warehousing and Pull requests. It works with ClickHouse and Java. The repository describes itself as: ClickHouse Java Clients & JDBC Driver. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing pull requests
  • The user asks for a code review

Example prompts

  • “/code-review”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the changed module and any compatibility-sensitive surfaces.
  2. Check correctness, regressions, API and behavior stability, JDBC or R2DBC semantics, and missing focused tests before style suggestions.
  3. Use common Java and driver behavior as a comparison aid, but preserve existing project behavior unless the change is intentionally…
  4. Report findings first, ordered by severity, then open questions or assumptions, then a brief summary.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 67a6b9e. 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 290 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 126 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~290

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.

Code Review

Required context

Before reviewing, read:

  • AGENTS.md
  • docs/ai-review.md

If the review touches client-v2 or jdbc-v2, also read:

  • docs/features.md

Review workflow

  1. Identify the changed module and any compatibility-sensitive surfaces.
  2. Check correctness, regressions, API and behavior stability, JDBC or R2DBC semantics, and missing focused tests before style suggestions.
  3. Use common Java and driver behavior as a comparison aid, but preserve existing project behavior unless the change is intentionally user-visible.
  4. Report findings first, ordered by severity, then open questions or assumptions, then a brief summary.

Final response requirements

State:

  • what changed
  • whether compatibility risk exists
  • what tests were run, or why they were not run
  • whether docs should change

If no issues are found, say so explicitly and mention residual risk or testing gaps.
