What it does

Review Gate is an agent skill from inkline/inkline. The Inkline Guild's PR review checklist — correctness, simplicity, surgical diffs, changesets, doc freshness, semver, and Inkline-specific contract risks. The reviewer's operating manual.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Agent Workflows, covering Human-in-the-loop approvals, Pull requests and Contract review. The repository describes itself as: Inkline is the intuitive UI Components library that gives you a developer-friendly foundation for building high-quality, accessible, and customizable Vue.js 3 Design Systems.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Human-in-the-loop approvals
  • Tasks that involve Pull requests
  • Tasks that involve Contract review

Example prompts

  • “/review-gate”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Correctness & tests. Logic sound; edge cases considered; colocated *.test.ts / *.ink.test.ts updated/added; tests actually assert the…
  2. Simplicity. "Would a senior engineer call this overcomplicated?" No speculative abstractions, no unrequested configurability, no error…
  3. Surgical diff. Every changed line traces to the issue. No adjacent "improvements", no drive-by reformatting, no pre-existing dead-code…
  4. Conventions. Conventional commit with package scope; oxlint/oxfmt clean (vp check); tests colocated; no hand-edits under .inkline/…
  5. Changeset. Present for published packages; correct bump level. Ignore-listed (website, @inkline/components) are exempt — but a component…
  6. Doc freshness — this repo's disease. API/behavior change without its AGENTS.md / docs / compiler-README update = request changes. The…
  7. Inkline contract risks (the expensive ones)
  8. Security & safety. No secrets/keys in code, fixtures, or logs; dependency additions justified (prefer none — and no casual…
  9. Blast radius. Cross-package changes have the owning agent's sign-off (compiler/core → Atlas, components → Palette, plugin/CLI → Forge…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f4da55a. 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:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, 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

Review Gate loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 605 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 605 words (~1,221 tokens).

“Every PR passes this gate. The gate exists to keep main releasable and the public surface trustworthy — not to display cleverness. Verdicts: approve · approve with nits (≤2 nits, prefixed nit:, author may defer) · request changes (only with…”
