What it does

A review pass over the current branch or diff before it lands. The agent checks repository state with `git status --short`, finds the base diff with `git diff --stat`, reads the changed code and its immediate callers, and looks for behavioral regressions, security boundaries, error-handling gaps, state persistence bugs and missing tests. It then runs, or names, the narrowest verification command that fits the changed area.

Priorities include correctness and edge cases, trust boundaries, data loss and migration risk, handling of long-running processes, provider and protocol compatibility, test coverage in proportion to risk, and docs that drift when user-facing behavior changes. Output leads with findings ordered by severity, each with file and line when available, impact, why it can happen and a suggested fix. When nothing is found, the review says so and lists remaining test gaps or residual risk.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing a branch before merging or shipping
  • Checking whether a change is safe to land
  • Getting a severity-ordered findings list for a diff

Example prompts

  • “Do a pre-landing review of my current branch.”
  • “Is this diff safe to merge? Look at the changed files and their callers.”
  • “Review my uncommitted changes and rank the problems by severity.”

Requirements

  • A Git repository with a diff to review
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Bash

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inspect repository state with git status --short.
  2. Identify the base diff with git diff --stat and the focused changed files.
  3. Read the changed code and its immediate callers.
  4. Look for behavioral regressions, security boundaries, error handling gaps, state persistence bugs, and missing tests.
  5. Run or identify the narrowest verification command that matches the changed surface.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2980105. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

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

  • Network

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

Gstack Pre-Landing Review loads about 316 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 149 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~316

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash

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 149 words (~316 tokens).

“Use this skill as a staff-engineer review pass over the current diff.”
