What it does

PR Review is an agent skill from microsoft/service-fabric-dotnet, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Review a pull request for correctness, approach, completeness, and consistency with instructions in this repo. Use for initial PR reviews, follow-up reviews after changes, and verifying addressed feedback.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Pull requests. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Service Fabric .NET Libraries.

When your agent uses it

  • Initial PR reviews
  • Follow-up reviews after changes
  • Verifying addressed feedback

Example prompts

  • “/pr-review”

Workflow steps

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

  1. (Before) Start the reviewer subagent if not explicitly instructed otherwise
  2. (Before) Gather code context.
  3. (After) Perform independent assessment
  4. (After) Perform detailed analysis
  5. (Extend) Generate a Report
  6. (Optional) Post Review to GitHub

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c8ce57. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • docs.github.com

    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

PR Review loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 909 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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 909 words (~1,777 tokens).

“This skill extends .github/skills/review/SKILL.md with PR-specific workflow. Read it first — all rules there apply here unless overridden below.”
