What it does

Deep Review is an agent skill from dyad-sh/dyad. Deep multi-agent code review run locally — a fleet of parallel finder agents reviews the diff from independent angles, then adversarial verifier agents reproduce each finding before it is reported. Local equivalent of /code-review ultra. Use when the user asks for a deep, thorough, or multi-agent review of their branch, working diff, or a PR before merging. Usage: /deep-review (reviews current branch vs main, including uncommitted changes) or /deep-review <PR-number.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 DeepSeek, Google Gemini, Ollama and OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Local, open-source AI app builder for power users ✨ v0 / Lovable / Replit / Bolt alternative 🌟 Star if you like it!

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for a deep
  • Multi-agent review of their branch
  • A PR before merging

Example prompts

  • “/deep-review”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine the diff to review
  2. Gather shared context
  3. Launch the review workflow
  4. Report
  5. False positives — exclude these (give this list to every finder and verifier)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4764c7f. 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
    • gh

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

  • Network

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

Deep Review loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 760 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~121
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 760 words (~1,405 tokens).

“Run a deep, high-signal code review of a diff using many parallel agents. The design mirrors ultrareview: broad coverage (independent finder agents, each with a different lens) followed by independent verification (skeptical agents that try to refute each finding). Only…”
