What it does

Code Review is an agent skill from r3bl-org/r3bl-open-core. Interactively review code changes chunk by chunk with explicit user approval

Its SKILL.md is about 820 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 Code review. The repository describes itself as: TUI framework and developer productivity apps in Rust 🦀. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Code review

Example prompts

  • “/code-review”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Collect & Partition Diff Chunks
  2. Present Chunks Iteratively (One Turn per Chunk)
  3. Handle User Feedback
  4. Completion & Checklist Update

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 89db352. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Code Review loads about 816 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 447 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~816

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.

Interactively review code changes chunk by chunk with explicit user approval

Interactive Code Review Workflow

Use this skill when the user runs the /code-review slash command or uses any of these natural language triggers:

  • "show me the code changes you made here, one chunk at a time interactively. i will type 'good' if i approve"
  • "review the code changes chunk by chunk"
  • "interactive code review"
  • "review changes interactively"

Purpose

Provides a structured, low-cognitive-load, interactive code review experience in chat. Instead of dumping large diffs or requiring the user to navigate full files in an external editor, changes are broken into small, logical, self-contained diff chunks presented one turn at a time.

Workflow

1. Collect & Partition Diff Chunks
  1. Run git diff on the current working tree (or inspect specific target files).
  2. Partition the changes into small, logical, self-contained chunks:
    • Separate by file whenever possible.
    • For larger files, divide into logical functional blocks (e.g., imports, core logic, tests).
  3. Determine total chunk count (N).
2. Present Chunks Iteratively (One Turn per Chunk)

For each chunk (e.g., Chunk X of N):

  1. Heading & File Link: ### Chunk X of N: path/to/file.rs (use clickable markdown file links).
  2. Context & Rationale: Provide a concise 1-2 sentence explanation of what changed in this chunk and why.
  3. Test Coverage Verification: Invoke the check-test-coverage skill for the modified file:
    • Verify that all custom logic branches, state transitions, and error paths in this file/chunk are covered by tests.
    • Confirm zero test bloat (no redundant tests asserting standard library behaviors, compiler derives, or third-party macros).
    • Report a concise 1-line coverage status.
  4. Diff Snippet: Provide a clean diff code block containing only the relevant hunk.
  5. Approval Prompt: Ask: Please reply with **"good"** to approve and move to Chunk X+1.
  6. STOP and WAIT: Do NOT output subsequent chunks in the same turn. Yield control and wait for user input.
Show full SKILL.md (146 more words)Show less
3. Handle User Feedback
  • Approved ("good", "ok", "lgtm"): Advance to the next chunk and present it.
  • Requested Changes / Corrections:
    1. Make surgical edits to the code using native file editing tools.
    2. Run ./check.fish --check (or relevant test/clippy checks) to verify correctness.
    3. Re-present the revised chunk to the user with the updated diff.
    4. Wait for approval before proceeding.
4. Completion & Checklist Update

Once all N chunks have been explicitly approved:

  1. If working on a task file (e.g., task/<name>.md), check off the corresponding files in the "Mandatory manual review" checklist.
  2. Run ./check.fish --fmt on changed files.
  3. Notify the user that all chunks have been reviewed and approved, and ask how to proceed with next steps.
  • check-test-coverage - For branch-targeted test coverage and zero bloat verification
  • check-code-quality - Comprehensive quality checks
  • run-clippy - Clippy linting and formatting
  • write-documentation - Rustdoc formatting and intra-doc link validation
