What it does

Dyl Review is an agent skill from cursor/plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Review one or more PRs in Dylan's style: up to 7 copy-pasteable asks and one 🟢/🟡/🔴 call. Quick by default; "deep" adds thermos and Bugbot. Use for /dyl-review, "review this PR like me", or terse design/correctness comments. Never posts to the PR.

Its SKILL.md is about 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. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Cursor plugin specification and official plugins.

When your agent uses it

  • Review this PR like me
  • Terse design/correctness comments

Example prompts

  • “adds thermos and Bugbot. Use for /dyl-review,”
  • “/dyl-review”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather PR context
  2. Lenses (apply in full when relevant)
  3. Return candidates
  4. Merge, then filter skeptically
  5. Shortlist up to 7 comments
  6. Compression pass (Dylan voice)
  7. Recommendation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ccb5507. 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
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and 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

Dyl Review loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,086 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,086 words (~1,969 tokens).

“Produce a draft PR review the human can paste. This is the one review: thermos and Bugbot run inside it at deep depth, never as separate steps.”
