What it does
Code Review is an agent skill from damianvtran/local-operator. Reviewing code for defects: diff-first reading, severity classification, evidence over inference, finding caps, and terminal verdicts. Use when reviewing a diff, PR, or patch, or auditing someone else's work.
Its SKILL.md is about 670 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: An open-source AI agent hub for your own machine: build organizations of collaborating agents that message each other, run in the background around the clock, and share your… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Reviewing a diff
- Auditing someone elses work
Example prompts
- “/code-review”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 05e4c97. 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:
git
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 672 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 390 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
The full file from damianvtran/local-operator at commit 05e4c97, republished under its MIT licence (© damianvtran). 390 words, ~672 tokens.

Code review
The same practice for any agent: reviewing a diff, a patch, or another agent's work.
Read the diff first
git diff <base>..<head>(or the PR's diff) IS the review. Read the tree only where the diff raises a question you can state.- Open a file when you can name the question it answers; re-reading files you already read is waste.
- Review what changed plus what it touches: callers, shared state, and the tests near the change.
Classify every finding
| Severity | Means |
|---|---|
| BLOCKER | Wrong, unsafe, or loses data. Ship it and something breaks. |
| MAJOR | A real defect or missing case that will bite, but not stop-ship. |
| MINOR | Correctness-preserving improvement. |
| NIT | Style, naming, wording. |
- Caps: at most 5 MINOR and 5 NIT per round, the highest-value ones. A long tail of nits buries the blockers and costs a remediation round to answer.
- Severity is about consequence, not effort to fix. Do not inflate; do not deflate to avoid an awkward round.
Evidence over inference
- Every finding carries a location: file, line, and the code path. Without one it is a lead, not a finding.
- Reproduce cheaply where possible: the targeted test, the query, a tiny probe. A finding you reproduced outranks one you reasoned to.
- Where you cite a number or status, derive it or name its source. A value read from a summary is a lead.
- Say plainly when nothing blocks. Padding a report to look thorough is a failure mode; so is agreeing to be agreeable.

Remediation rounds (round 2 and later)
- Scope to the delta:
git diff <previous_reviewed_head>..<current_head>. Verify the fixes; do not re-audit unchanged, previously approved files. - No new out-of-scope findings; note them as follow-ups instead.
- A fix that unexpectedly touches more is in scope again: check its blast radius.
Verdict
- End with a terminal verdict: with no BLOCKER and no MAJOR left, the verdict is
cleanand you state the round is terminal; remaining minors and nits are follow-ups, not a reason for another round. - Language is precise: "blocked on X", "clean with follow-ups". Never "LGTM" with no checks behind it.
Red flags
- Reviewing the tree instead of the diff.
- Speculative findings ("there might be a race") with no code path named.
- Silent scope creep into unrelated code.
- Style preferences dressed as defects.
- A finding the author cannot act on because it names no change.

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 damianvtran/local-operator --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?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Code Review needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).
Does Code Review access the network?
