What it does

Memtrace Code Review is an agent skill from syncable-dev/memtrace-public. Review GitHub pull requests with Memtrace's local graph-backed review engine. Use when the user asks to review a GitHub pull request, run Memtrace code review, post Memtrace review comments, create a PR with a review step, or publish local graph-backed review findings to GitHub. Prefer the reviewgithubpr MCP tool over manual diff inspection. Do not use for local working-tree diffs — that is the built-in /code-review; this skill is for GitHub PRs via reviewgithubpr.

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, Pull requests and MCP servers. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Structural memory for AI coding agents. Bi-temporal graph, MCP-native, zero LLM calls. Cursor · Claude Code · Codex · DeepSeek Harness · Hermes · VS Code · Windsurf.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to review a GitHub pull request
  • Run Memtrace code review
  • Post Memtrace review comments
  • Create a PR with a review step

Example prompts

  • “/memtrace-code-review”

Workflow steps

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

  1. If the user gives a GitHub PR URL and asks to inspect or review it, call review_github_pr with post: false.
  2. If the user explicitly asks to publish, post comments, or complete the PR review, call review_github_pr with post: true.
  3. Use graphMode: "strict" by default. Use graphMode: "off" only when the user asks to benchmark non-graph behavior or the local graph is…
  4. Default to minSeverity: "high" and maxComments: 5 when posting. For previews, maxComments: 10 is acceptable.
  5. Pass repoRoot when the PR checkout is not the current working directory. Pass repoId when the indexed repository id is known.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3a3084d. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Memtrace Code Review loads about 818 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 124 tokens; SKILL.md has 398 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~124
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~818

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 398 words (~818 tokens).

“Use Memtrace's local-first PR review workflow. The agent should call the review_github_pr MCP tool so review runs against the developer's local indexed graph, AST detectors, YAML rule pack, and review policy. GitHub is used for PR context and optional comment…”
