Code Quality Review
StudentWeis/ropy
Review a code change, diff, pull request, module, or test suite for code quality, comment and documentation quality, and test quality.
Review or improve code — one skill, four modes: bug/security review (default), performance, clean-code audit, slop cleanup.

code-reviewReview or improve code — one skill, four modes: bug/security review (default), performance, clean-code audit, slop cleanup.
Code Review is an agent skill from luongnv89/skills. Review or improve code — one skill, four modes: bug/security review (default), performance, clean-code audit, slop cleanup. Pass mode:review|perf|clean|cleanup or infer. Don't use for writing features or generating tests (use test-coverage).
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 26 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/circular-dep-untangler.md`, `agents/deduplicator.md` and `agents/defensive-programming-remover.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Code quality, Code review and Test generation. The repository describes itself as: Supercharge your AI agents/bots with reusable skills. The licence is MIT.
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8f80262. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
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.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Code Review loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~31k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,130 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.
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.

.claude/skills/code-review/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 23 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.One skill for reviewing and improving code quality. Pick a mode by intent (or pass an explicit
mode: parameter); each mode is a full, self-contained workflow in references/. Load only the
mode you need — this protects the agent's context budget.
| Mode | Use when the user wants to... | Reads / writes | Output | Workflow |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| review (default) | find bugs, security holes, quality issues in a diff/PR | read-only | prioritized findings report | references/review-mode.md |
| perf | make code faster — bottlenecks, leaks, algorithmic waste | read-only | performance findings report | references/perf-mode.md |
| clean | audit readability/standards vs the bbv Clean Code cheat sheet | read-only | CLEAN_CODE_AUDIT.md | references/clean-mode.md |
| cleanup | actually refactor out AI slop, dead code, duplication, cruft | WRITES CODE | modified source files | references/cleanup-mode.md |
mode:review|perf|clean|cleanup (or --mode <name>), use it.review, perf, and clean are source-read-only: they analyze and report without touching
source files. Review and perf may write only the named report artifact their mode specifies
(CODE_REVIEW.md for review; perf returns its report in the response). During review/perf analysis,
they must not otherwise mutate the index, refs, stash, branch, worktree, or remote state.
clean retains its own report-writing and sync contract. cleanup modifies files. Therefore:
cleanup by weak inference. Run it only when the user explicitly asks to
refactor / clean up the codebase (or passes mode:cleanup). A plain "review my code" must never
rewrite files — stay in a read-only mode.git rev-parse HEAD, git status, and local tracking
observations without claiming remote freshness. They do not fetch, stash, pull, rebase,
checkout/switch, create or delete branches/worktrees, or apply source fixes. A separately
approved mutation workflow owns its own freshness and stash-first sync contract.cleanup, and follow that mode's own gating.Applies to clean (writes CLEAN_CODE_AUDIT.md) and cleanup (writes source) only. review and
perf never sync (see the Safety section). Before the first write in either mode:
branch="$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)"
git fetch origin && git pull --rebase origin "$branch"clean, stash first, sync, then pop the stash.cleanup, stop and ask the user to commit or stash first.origin is missing, or the pull or stash pop conflicts, stop and ask the user. Do not write any file.clean skips the sync and notes that in its report.The full step, with recovery commands, is in references/clean-mode.md and references/cleanup-mode.md.
Read the selected mode's reference file and execute its steps exactly. Supporting files each mode uses (already colocated under this skill):
references/review-mode.md — agents agents/reviewer.md, agents/file-reviewer.md, agents/report-assembler.md; refs references/subagent-architecture.md, references/code-smells.mdreferences/perf-mode.md — ref references/language-checks.mdreferences/clean-mode.md — refs references/clean-code-checklist.md, references/tdd-checklist.md, references/html-report-guide.md, references/report-template.htmlreferences/cleanup-mode.md — the 8 cleaner agents in agents/ (deduplicator.md, type-consolidator.md, unused-code-killer.md, circular-dep-untangler.md, weak-type-strengthener.md, defensive-programming-remover.md, legacy-code-remover.md, slop-comment-cleaner.md)If the Agent tool is available, modes that use subagents (review, cleanup) spawn them per their workflow — fresh-context validation and parallel work. If it is unavailable (e.g., Claude.ai), execute each mode's phases inline (less rigorous, but functional).
Modes compose: a common flow is clean (audit → CLEAN_CODE_AUDIT.md) then cleanup (apply the
refactors), or review/perf to find issues before fixing. Run one mode at a time; confirm with
the user before switching into the code-writing cleanup mode.
clean or cleanup, follow that mode's sync, backup, dry-run, confirmation, and rollback steps
in order. If a sync or safety check fails, stop before the first write.Verify every run against the selected mode's own acceptance criteria, then assert all of these router criteria:
git diff when applicable.Also check that a reader can use the final response:
Mode: states the result and PASS, PARTIAL, or FAIL.Uncertainty.file:line, a command output, or a report section.
An intermediate step passing does not count as the whole run passing.Decision names the approval needed (for example, starting cleanup),
or says "No approval needed", and lists any remaining user action.Agent inspection cannot confirm that a human understood the output. If no human feedback was given, report human understanding as unconfirmed; do not count it as a failure or a pass.
Every mode's final response carries these five items, in this order. Keep each item to one or two lines; the mode's report artifact holds the detail.
Mode: review
Result: PARTIAL — 1 critical, 2 major, 0 minor findings; reviewer pass incomplete for 3 files
Evidence: CODE_REVIEW.md written; reviewer agent validated 41/44 files; `git diff --stat -- src/` empty
Uncertainty: 3 generated files skipped (listed in CODE_REVIEW.md); no tests were run
Decision: No approval needed. To apply fixes, ask for a separate `cleanup` run.After routing and after the selected workflow, emit a compact report:
◆ Code Review ([mode])
Mode selection: √ pass
Workflow criteria: √ pass
Output verified: √ pass
Safety boundary: √ pass
Result: PASS | FAIL | PARTIALUse × fail — reason for any unmet check. Never report PASS while a selected-mode acceptance
criterion, expected output, required test, or safety guardrail is unresolved.
mode: value → reject it and list the four valid modes.cleanup run.© luongnv89, MIT. Rendered from Markdown: HTML in the file is shown as text, images as links, and headings moved down two levels. Raw file

Review or improve code — one skill, four modes: bug/security review (default), performance, clean-code audit, slop cleanup. Code Review is an agent skill from luongnv89/skills. Review or improve code — one skill, four modes: bug/security review (default), performance, clean-code audit, slop cleanup.
Code Review fits situations like: writing features; generating tests (use test-coverage).
Run `npx skills add luongnv89/skills --skill code-review -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/code-review in luongnv89/skills) into .claude/skills/code-review in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add luongnv89/skills --skill code-review -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/code-review in luongnv89/skills) into .agents/skills/code-review in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add luongnv89/skills --skill code-review -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/code-review, .gemini/skills/code-review, .github/skills/code-review and .opencode/skills/code-review in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Code Review needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Code Review is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 29k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Code Review: Code Quality Review (StudentWeis/ropy, 193 stars), Code Review Skill (awesome-skills/code-review-skill, 2.1k stars), Code Review Specialist (luongnv89/claude-howto, 42k stars) and Code Review Skill (Rain-kl/OpenFlare, 288 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
