What it does

Review Branch is an agent skill from videojs/video.js. Review the current branch without editing code. Use for PR-style findings, regressions, merge-base comparison, or pre-merge risk assessment.

Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Video.js v10 - open source media player framework for HTML and React.

When your agent uses it

  • PR-style findings
  • Merge-base comparison
  • Pre-merge risk assessment

Example prompts

  • “/review-branch”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine the intended base and inspect the merge-base diff, commit history, and working tree separately.
  2. Fetch a linked issue or PR when supplied and derive the acceptance boundary.
  3. Read changed code in context, including callers, tests, exports, and relevant configuration.
  4. Check whether the change is a good citizen of the whole codebase and documentation: follow established ownership, naming, architecture…
  5. Apply only the domain constraints and review criteria that the changed surface requires. For files under site/src/content/docs/, check…
  6. Prioritize correctness, regressions, security, accessibility, public compatibility, and missing tests. Avoid style findings already…
  7. Validate suspected findings with a targeted command or source trace when practical.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 05f40e8. 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

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Branch loads about 428 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 211 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~428

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 211 words (~428 tokens).

“Review the branch as a whole; do not implement fixes.”
