What it does

Review is an agent skill from Thank-you-Linus/Linus-Dashboard. Review code quality, security, and maintainability before committing. Use when reviewing code changes, checking code quality, performing security review, or validating changes before commit.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 quality, Code review and Security review. It works with Home Assistant. The repository describes itself as: Elevate your smart home experience with a modern, responsive dashboard built on Home Assistant. Effortlessly manage your devices, areas and floors with an intuitive interface…. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit da3ca3c. 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:
- npm
- git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and 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

Review loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 409 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.5k

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.

Review Process

Step 1: Get Changed Files

bash

# See what changed
git status

# View diff
git diff

# Check specific files
git diff path/to/file.py

Show full SKILL.md (169 more words)Show less

Step 2: Analyze Changes

For each changed file:

Read the diff
Understand the purpose
Check against standards
Look for issues
Note improvements

Step 3: Check Build and Tests

bash

# TypeScript
npm run build
npm run type-check
npm run lint:check

# Run smoke tests
npm run test:smoke

Step 4: Provide Feedback

Format:

File: path/to/file.py

✅ Good:
- Clear function names
- Proper type hints
- Good error handling

⚠️ Issues:
1. Line 42: Missing docstring
2. Line 78: Blocking I/O in async function
3. Line 103: Exception too broad

💡 Suggestions:
- Consider caching this result
- Extract this logic to separate function

Common Issues to Watch For

Python Issues

Async/Await:

python

# ❌ Bad - blocking I/O
async def fetch_data():
    response = requests.get(url)  # Blocks event loop

# ✅ Good - async I/O
async def fetch_data():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get(url) as response:
            return await response.json()

Error Handling:

python

# ❌ Bad - bare except
try:
    do_something()
except:
    pass

# ✅ Good - specific exception
try:
    do_something()
except ValueError as err:
    _LOGGER.error("Invalid value: %s", err)
    raise

Type Hints:

python

# ❌ Bad - no types
def process_data(data):
    return data.get("value")

# ✅ Good - with types
def process_data(data: dict[str, Any]) -> str | None:
    """Process data and return value."""
    return data.get("value")

TypeScript Issues

Type Safety:

typescript

// ❌ Bad - any type
function process(data: any): any {
    return data.value;
}

// ✅ Good - proper types
function process(data: DataType): string | undefined {
    return data.value;
}

Null Safety:

typescript

// ❌ Bad - no null check
const value = entity.state.toUpperCase();

// ✅ Good - null check
const value = entity.state?.toUpperCase() ?? "unknown";

Security Review Checklist

No secrets in code
API keys from config
User input sanitized
SQL queries parameterized
HTML output escaped
HTTPS for external calls
Authentication checked
Authorization verified

Database queries optimized
Caching used appropriately
No unnecessary API calls
Efficient algorithms
Memory usage reasonable

Questions about Review

What does Review do?

Review code quality, security, and maintainability before committing. Review is an agent skill from Thank-you-Linus/Linus-Dashboard. Review code quality, security, and maintainability before committing.

When should I use Review?

Review fits situations like: reviewing code changes; checking code quality; performing security review; validating changes before commit.

How do I install Review in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add Thank-you-Linus/Linus-Dashboard --skill review -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/review in Thank-you-Linus/Linus-Dashboard) into .claude/skills/review in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Review in Codex?

Run `npx skills add Thank-you-Linus/Linus-Dashboard --skill review -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/review in Thank-you-Linus/Linus-Dashboard) into .agents/skills/review in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Review in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Thank-you-Linus/Linus-Dashboard --skill review -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/review, .gemini/skills/review, .github/skills/review and .opencode/skills/review in your project.

What does Review need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Review needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npm and git). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Review access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use npm and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Review safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Review use?

Review is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Review use?

About 1.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Review?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Review: Code Review Specialist (luongnv89/claude-howto, 42k stars), Codebase Review Swarm (ZaxbyHub/opencode-swarm, 496 stars), Code Review with Beads Tasks (maslennikov-ig/claude-code-orchestrator-kit, 260 stars) and Code Review Specialist in Vietnamese (luongnv89/claude-howto, 42k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Review?

Thank-you-Linus (a GitHub organization) maintains it in Thank-you-Linus/Linus-Dashboard, which has 211 GitHub stars. The repository holds 7 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 10, 2026.
