What it does

Code Review is an agent skill from naodeng/awesome-qa-skills. Use this skill when you need a risk-driven code review of a PR/diff with severity-ranked findings and actionable fixes; triggers include code review, PR review,.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 44 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `evals/cases/basic-success.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Code review and Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: Awesome QA Skills is an open-source AI-native Quality Engineering skill system that helps engineering teams reason about, design, execute, evaluate, and continuously improve…

When your agent uses it

  • You need a risk-driven code review of a PR/diff with severity-ranked findings and actionable fixes
  • Triggers include code review

Example prompts

  • “/code-review”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read and follow the main prompt listed under Progressive disclosure (coverage, structure, quality bar).
  2. Before reviewing, confirm both an identifiable code version and its reviewable changes; if either is missing, return a blocked result and…
  3. Add only project context that changes the result: change scope, business goal, stack, upstream/downstream deps, known risks, team norms.
  4. Treat role reports as optional, source-identified context; use Product and UI/UX reports only when this change touches their concerns.
  5. Default to Markdown; switch formats only when the user asks.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 52c4eaf. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Code Review loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 577 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 577 words (~1,129 tokens).

“Chinese version: See the corresponding Chinese skill.”
