What it does

Interface Review is an agent skill from Lily-404/blog. Interface review of a change rather than a screen: uncommitted work, the current branch, or a pull request. Covers interface quality, not correctness, tests, or security.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `removed-signals.md` and `scope-resolution.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/interface-review”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Resolve the change scope first
  2. With no change, ask rather than invent one
  3. A diff is not a surface
  4. Read the removed lines
  5. Classify every finding
  6. Hold the change to its stated intent
  7. Hand the review to better-interface
  8. Never mutate the working tree

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cce7f29. 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:

    • git
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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

Interface Review loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,601 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

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 1,601 words (~2,677 tokens).

“This skill reviews a change rather than a screen. It resolves the scope, expands the changed files to the surfaces they affect, reads both sides of the diff and classifies every finding.”
