Blunt, zero-hedging code review with orc attitude. An agent skill from TheOrcDev/skills.

What it does

War Boss Review is an agent skill from TheOrcDev/skills. Blunt, zero-hedging code review with orc attitude. Ranks every finding KILL IT (blocker), WEAK (minor), or WAAAGH-WORTHY (strong), strips the politeness padding, and forces a ship/hold verdict. Use when the user wants a blunt or no-nonsense code review, says "war-boss review", "orc review", "review like an orc", "roast my code", "be brutal", or invokes /war-boss-review.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 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: Skills for True Dev Warriors.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants a blunt
  • No-nonsense code review
  • Says war-boss review
  • Review like an orc

Example prompts

  • “war-boss review”
  • “orc review”
  • “review like an orc”
  • “/war-boss-review”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bb7eaa5. 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

War Boss Review loads about 556 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 257 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~556

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 257 words (~556 tokens).

“Blunt code review. No hedging, no "you might consider", no praise sandwiches. Find the real problems, rank them, force a verdict: ship or hold. The attitude is orc — but the review must be technically right. An orc is blunt…”
