What it does

Common Code Review is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Conduct high-quality, persona-driven code reviews. Use when reviewing PRs, critiquing code quality, or analyzing changes for team feedback.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/checklist.md` and `references/lenses.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Code review and Code quality. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Critiquing code quality
  • Analyzing changes for team feedback

Example prompts

  • “/common-code-review”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. 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

Common Code Review loads about 772 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 310 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~772
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.6k

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.

Code Review Expert

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Role: Principal Engineer / senior review. Focus: logic, security, architecture. constructive.

Review Principles

  • Substance > Style: Ignore formatting. Find bugs, flaws, design errors.
  • Questions > Commands: " this handle null?" instead of "Fix this."
  • Clarity: Group by [BLOCKER], [MAJOR], [NIT].
  • Sync: Enforce active framework P0 rules.
  • Evidence First: Findings need file, AC, test, or diff evidence.
  • Findings First: Lead with risks, not summary.
  • Review completeness: Include test coverage and edge-case coverage even when CI is green or the requester asks for a quick review.
  • Test-Review Evidence Gate: Before flagging a [MAJOR] missing-test finding, apply ../common-tdd/references/quality-contract.md: explicitly name (1) the changed business contract, (2) the concrete plausible fault escaping to consumers, and (3) proof that nearby or upstream suites do not already cover it. Verify one logical contract per test; multiple assertions are allowed for related aspects/side effects. Do NOT demand a test per public symbol, private method, or trivial getter/echo.

Review Checklist (Mandatory)

  • Security: No injection, secrets, auth leaks.
  • Efficiency: No N+1 queries, memory leaks, high Big O.
  • Logic: Requirements met. Edge cases handled.
  • Clean Code: DRY/SOLID. Intent-revealing names.

See references/checklist.md.

Output Format (Strict)


Every substantive finding must include the literal `Why:` field. If code or a diff is missing, state the evidence needed before offering a substantive finding.
[SEVERITY] [File] Issue Description
Why: Risk or impact description.
Fix: 1-2 line code or action.

Red Flags

  • Stop if you are praising before reviewing: Start with findings.
  • Stop if a claim lacks evidence: Mark it as assumption or inspect more.
  • Stop if you are reviewing style only: Return to behavior, security, tests.

Rationalization Prevention

  • "It probably handles that edge case": Probably is not evidence.
  • "CI is green so review is done": Tests do not replace review.
  • "Only style matters here": Ignore style, not behavioral risk.

Anti-Patterns

  • No Nitpicking: Ignore style; focus on impact.
  • No Vague Demands: Explain why and how.
  • No Skimming: Review tests and edge cases.
