What it does
Review Before Commit is an agent skill from honeybadger-io/honeybadger-js. Mandatory AI code review before committing in honeybadger-js. Use when committing code, preparing a commit, or before any git commit of agent changes.
Its SKILL.md is about 200 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 Commit messages and Code review. It works with npm and JavaScript. The repository describes itself as: Universal JavaScript library for reporting errors to Honeybadger.io :zap:. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Committing code
- Preparing a commit
- Before any git commit of agent changes
Example prompts
- “/review-before-commit”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e92061. 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
Review Before Commit loads about 195 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 92 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.

1. Request an AI review
Get a code review of the working-tree / staged changes about to be committed:
- Codex CLI (preferred): run
codexto review the changes. Ifcodexis not installed, skip to item 2. - Claude (fallback): perform a thorough code review using Claude.
Address any findings.
2. Present findings for human approval
Present the addressed findings to the user for a human review and approval. Do not commit until the user approves.
