What it does

Reviewing With Coderabbit is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Run a CodeRabbit review over the branch from the terminal, with the coderabbit CLI, and record the pass in the PR description. Before gh pr create or a requested branch review, first check POSTHOGTASKRUNID and CI: a cloud or CI task skips this skill without a CLI probe or user message. Otherwise, use this skill to check cr and its authentication, and offer setup or skip when a person can answer. Run the review once per branch. Never substitute an agent review. Trigger terms: coderabbit, cr review, local review…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 PostHog. The repository describes itself as: :hedgehog: PostHog is the leading platform for building self-driving products. Our developer tools – AI observability, analytics, session replay, flags, experiments, error…

When your agent uses it

  • Check cr and its authentication
  • Skip when a person can answer
  • Terms: coderabbit
  • Review my branch

Example prompts

  • “/reviewing-with-coderabbit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check for a cloud or CI task before loading this skill
  2. Finish the work and commit.
  3. Run the review, scoped to the branch's base
  4. Verify each finding's premise against the code before you act on it.
  5. Fix what holds, and commit the fixes.
  6. Record the outcome under Agent context in the PR description, as the PR template asks.
  7. Continue the normal flow: hogli ci:preflight, then gh pr create.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10f9ad7. 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
    • brew

    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

Reviewing With Coderabbit loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 150 tokens; SKILL.md has 992 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~150
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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); 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 992 words (~1,743 tokens).

“The CodeRabbit CLI runs the same review the bot runs, in the terminal, against the branch as it stands. A finding handled here is an ordinary pre-push edit. The same finding after the PR opens costs a bot comment, a…”
