What it does
Piv Review PR is an agent skill from coleam00/skills. Full pull-request review — fetch the PR, run the project's validation, review the diff with fresh eyes (dispatching the code-reviewer agent), categorize issues by severity, post the review to GitHub (approve / request-changes / comment), and save a report. The agentic gate that runs on an open PR before a human approves. Use after piv-create-pr.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Pull requests and Code review. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: The agent skills I actually use to build software with coding agents. The PIV loop, planning, worktrees, and the meta-skills for building your own AI Layer. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Pull requests
- Tasks that involve Code review
Example prompts
- “/piv-review-pr”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 847be08. 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:
gh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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.
Context cost
Piv Review PR loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 528 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.

Review PR: The Agentic Gate Before the Human
Input: $ARGUMENTS
The point of this skill is fresh eyes: it reviews the PR in a clean context — not the context that wrote
the code — and can hand the deep analysis to the code-reviewer agent, which is the whole reason the review
catches what the author's own context rationalizes away. It posts its verdict on the PR, then a human makes
the final call.
Phase 1 — Fetch the PR
Resolve the input to a PR number (a number, a URL, or a branch via
gh pr list --head <branch> --json number -q '.[0].number'). Then:
gh pr view {N} --json number,title,body,author,headRefName,baseRefName,state,additions,deletions,changedFiles,files
gh pr diff {N}
gh pr checkout {N}State guard: MERGED/CLOSED → stop ("nothing to review"); DRAFT → review direction, don't approve/block.
Phase 2 — Load the context (so you review against the right bar)
CLAUDE.md+ any.claude/references/— the project's standards are the review rubric.- The implementation report (if
piv-implementwrote one —.claude/reports/*{branch}*) + its plan: read the documented deviations. A documented deviation is an intentional decision, not an issue — only flag undocumented divergences. (No report? Review normally and note its absence.) - The PR's own intent (title/body): what problem it claims to solve.
Phase 3 — Run validation
Run the project's real suite (the piv-validate skill, or the plan's validation commands) — tests, type-check,
lint, build. Capture pass/fail + counts. A red suite is a finding in itself.
Phase 4 — Review the diff (dispatch the code-reviewer agent)
Hand the deep pass to a code-reviewer subagent if the project has one (.claude/agents/code-reviewer.md); otherwise review in this session, in a clean context — it reviews against the
project's standards and reports high-confidence issues only. Read every changed file in full (not just the
diff) for context. Cover: correctness · type safety · pattern/standards compliance · security · performance ·
tests present · maintainability.
Categorize every issue by severity:
| Severity | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Critical | Blocking — security, data loss, crashes |
| High | Should fix before merge — type-safety holes, missing error handling, logic errors |
| Medium | Pattern inconsistencies, missing edge cases, undocumented deviations |
| Low | Suggestions, minor polish |
Acknowledge what's done well, too — review is constructive, not just a defect list.
Show full SKILL.md (197 more words)Show less
Phase 5 — Decide
- Approve — no critical/high issues, validation passes, matches intent.
- Request changes — high issues, or fixable validation failures, or undocumented pattern violations.
- Block (request-changes, strongly) — critical security/data issues, or wrong fundamental approach.
- Honor an explicit
--approve/--request-changesflag, but never approve over an unresolved critical issue.
Phase 6 — Post to GitHub + save the report
Write the report to .claude/code-reviews/pr-{N}-review.md (summary · issues by severity with file:line + fix ·
validation table · what's good · recommendation). Then post it:
# approve
gh pr review {N} --approve --body-file .claude/code-reviews/pr-{N}-review.md
# request changes
gh pr review {N} --request-changes --body-file .claude/code-reviews/pr-{N}-review.md
# or just comment (draft PRs / advisory)
gh pr comment {N} --body-file .claude/code-reviews/pr-{N}-review.mdOutput + hand off
Print: PR number/URL · issue counts by severity · validation results · the recommendation. Then hand off:
"Posted on the PR. A human now reviews the code + this review and merges." If there are issues, the natural
next step is piv-fix-review-findings on the report, then re-run validation.
Notes
- Fresh eyes is the whole point — run this in a clean context (or let the
code-revieweragent be the clean context). Don't review with the session that wrote the code; it rationalizes instead of scrutinizing. - This is the agentic gate; it does not replace the human — it gives the human a validated, triaged PR to approve. Going deeper means multiple review agents, tuning the reviewer to your stack, and a validation pyramid behind it.
