What it does

Coderabbit Inheritance Scanner Check is an agent skill from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. Use when checking a repository's .coderabbit.yaml (or .coderabbit.yml) to determine whether inheritance: true is set

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Developer productivity tools for Claude Code & other AI assistants. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Checking a repositorys .coderabbit.yaml (or .coderabbit.yml) to determine whether inheritance: true is set

Example prompts

  • “/coderabbit-inheritance-scanner-check”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a627176. 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:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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

Coderabbit Inheritance Scanner Check loads about 499 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 112 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~499

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.

description
Use when checking a repository's .coderabbit.yaml (or .coderabbit.yml) to determine whether inheritance: true is set

CodeRabbit Inheritance Scanner - Check

This skill checks a single repository's .coderabbit.yaml (or .coderabbit.yml) to determine whether inheritance: true is set.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill as Step 2 of the /teams:coderabbit-inheritance-scanner command. Call it once per repo found by the search skill. Multiple repos can be checked in a single bash invocation using the batch procedure below.

Procedure

For a batch of repos stored in a bash array, run the following to classify each one:

bash
# Input: REPOS array of "org/repo" strings
# Output: prints classification and default branch for each repo

for REPO in "${REPOS[@]}"; do
  CONTENT=""
  CFGFILE=""
  for FILENAME in .coderabbit.yaml .coderabbit.yml; do
    CONTENT=$(gh api "repos/${REPO}/contents/${FILENAME}" --jq '.content' 2>/dev/null | base64 -d 2>/dev/null)
    if [ -n "$CONTENT" ]; then
      CFGFILE="$FILENAME"
      break
    fi
  done

  # Get default branch for link generation
  DEFAULT_BRANCH=$(gh api "repos/${REPO}" --jq '.default_branch' 2>/dev/null)

  if [ -z "$CONTENT" ]; then
    echo "ERROR|${REPO}|${DEFAULT_BRANCH}|${CFGFILE}"
    continue
  fi

  if echo "$CONTENT" | grep -qE '^\s*inheritance:\s*true'; then
    echo "COMPLIANT|${REPO}|${DEFAULT_BRANCH}|${CFGFILE}"
  elif echo "$CONTENT" | grep -qE '^\s*inheritance:\s*false'; then
    echo "FALSE|${REPO}|${DEFAULT_BRANCH}|${CFGFILE}"
  else
    echo "MISSING|${REPO}|${DEFAULT_BRANCH}|${CFGFILE}"
  fi

  sleep 0.3
done

Output Format

Pipe-separated fields per line:

STATUS|org/repo|default_branch|config_filename

Where STATUS is one of:

  • COMPLIANT - inheritance: true is set
  • FALSE - inheritance: false is explicitly set
  • MISSING - the inheritance key is absent
  • ERROR - could not fetch the file
