What it does

Code Review And Quality is an agent skill from HangYu8123/mini-harness. Multi-axis, review-only code review of a diff across six axes — request achievement, correctness, readability/simplicity, architecture, security, and performance — with severity-labelled findings. TRIGGER: invoked by a mini-harness skill's review stage when the dial codereview=local is set. Not a planning-time skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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, Accessibility and Plain language and style rules. The repository describes itself as: A local minimized harness, with simplified output and logs for self-evolve.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Code review
  • Tasks that involve Accessibility
  • Tasks that involve Plain language and style rules

Example prompts

  • “/code-review-and-quality”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand the intent — what the change is for, and what behavior should change.
  2. Check the tests in the diff — do they exist, test behavior rather than implementation,
  3. Walk the implementation across the six axes below.
  4. Label and order the findings (see severity table). Lead with what matters: unmet
  5. Check the verification story — what was run, what passed, what was verified by hand.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit baa821f. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 And Quality loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,004 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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 1,004 words (~1,770 tokens).

“The platform-independent alternative to Claude Code's native /code-review. An mh-* skill's review stage spawns the verifier with this file when the dial code_review=local is set — see .harness/harness.md §5 for how it is launched.”
