What it does

Code Review is an agent skill from hpcc-systems/HPCC-Platform. Code review checklist for the HPCC Platform. Use when reviewing C++ code changes, examining components for issues, or checking best practices. Covers memory management, thread safety, style compliance, security, API compatibility, and correctness.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 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. It works with C++. The repository describes itself as: HPCC Systems (High Performance Computing Cluster) is an open source, massive parallel-processing computing platform for big data processing and analytics.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing C++ code changes
  • Examining components for issues
  • Checking best practices

Example prompts

  • “/code-review”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Memory Management
  2. Thread Safety
  3. Code Style (Essential Rules)
  4. Error Handling & Correctness
  5. Security & API Compatibility
  6. Efficiency
  7. Component-Specific Concerns

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f5c55b9. 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 loads about 903 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 397 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~903

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 397 words (~903 tokens).
