What it does

Deep Review is an agent skill from pedronauck/skills. Review branch diffs, working trees, or PRs in depth with defect, polish and cross-contract coverage. Includes incremental and spec-conformance reviews; excludes fixes, spec-document reviews and quick single-file feedback.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 25 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/PROMPT.md`, `assets/findings.schema.json` and `references/context-pack.md`).

The repository describes itself as: My personal favorite skills.

Example prompts

  • “/deep-review”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Prepare
  2. Review
  3. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0422940. 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 7 files in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Deep Review loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 963 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~10k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 963 words (~2,258 tokens).

“Find actionable defects and improvements with complete selected-hunk and project-rule accounting. Scripts handle discovery, partitions, artifact assembly and validation; the model supplies applicability decisions and evidence-based review. Keep source read-only; write review artifacts under (default .deep-review//). Resolve from this file…”
