What it does

Review is an agent skill from devoxx/DevoxxGenieIDEAPlugin. Review local code changes for bugs, regressions, missing tests, and pragmatic improvements. Use when the user asks to review the current changes from git status, or to review a specific backlog task by id such as task-65 or TASK-65. Also trigger when the user says things like "review", "review current changes", "check my changes", "look over the diff", or "review task-42".

Its SKILL.md is about 650 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 and OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: DevoxxGenie is an agentic plugin for IntelliJ IDEA that uses local LLM's (Ollama, LMStudio, GPT4All, Jan and Llama.cpp) and Cloud based LLMs to help review, test, explain your… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to review the current changes from git status
  • Review a specific backlog task by id such as task-65
  • The user says things like review
  • Review current changes

Example prompts

  • “review”
  • “review current changes”
  • “check my changes”
  • “/review”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dd1baf5. 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

Review loads about 652 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 319 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~652

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 local code changes for bugs, regressions, missing tests, and pragmatic improvements. Use when the user asks to review the current changes from `git status`, or to review a specific backlog task by id such as `task-65` or `TASK-65`. Also trigger when the user says things like "review", "review current changes", "check my changes", "look over the diff", or "review task-42".

Review

Overview

Review the current local changes or the implementation tied to a backlog task id and report concrete findings, not a changelog. Treat this as a code review unless the user explicitly asks for edits.

Workflow

  1. Resolve the review target. If the prompt includes a backlog task id, locate the task markdown in backlog/tasks/ first, then backlog/completed/ if needed. Read the description, acceptance criteria, and referenced files. If no task id is given, start from git status --short and review the current local changes directly.

  2. Build review scope from local context. Check git status --short, inspect the diff for files related to the task, and read surrounding code where behavior is affected. Prefer rg and targeted git diff -- <path> over broad scans.

  3. Review for defects and regressions. Prioritize:

  • broken behavior versus the task intent
  • stale callers or UI paths left behind after refactors
  • contract mismatches across main/preload/renderer/shared code
  • silent failure handling and misleading fallback behavior
  • missing or weak tests for the changed behavior
  • unnecessary performance regressions or duplicate work
  1. Verify when useful. Run focused tests for the touched area if they are available and cheap. Mention clearly when verification is blocked or when broader typecheck/test failures are unrelated.

Output

Report findings first, ordered by severity. For each finding:

  • state the severity
  • describe the bug/risk or improvement
  • include clickable file references with line numbers when available
  • explain the user-visible or maintenance impact briefly

After findings, include:

  • open questions or assumptions if any
  • a brief note on verification performed

If no findings are discovered, say that explicitly and mention residual risk or missing coverage.

Prompt Shape

Interpret prompts like review, review current changes, or review the changes from git status as a request to review the current working tree. Interpret prompts like task-56, review task-56, or review task-56 and report any issues/bugs or possible improvements as a review of the local changes associated with that task.

When should I use Review?

Review fits situations like: the user asks to review the current changes from git status; review a specific backlog task by id such as task-65; the user says things like review; review current changes.

How do I install Review in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add devoxx/DevoxxGenieIDEAPlugin --skill review -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/review in devoxx/DevoxxGenieIDEAPlugin) into .claude/skills/review in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use 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 devoxx/DevoxxGenieIDEAPlugin --skill 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/review, .gemini/skills/review, .github/skills/review and .opencode/skills/review in your project.

What does Review need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Review needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).

Does Review access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
