What it does

Review Forge is an agent skill from vikingmute/review-forge. Use when orchestrating a code review workflow across multiple LLMs or agents, synthesizing review findings, producing checklist-driven fix scopes, applying selected fixes, running regression tests, independently verifying fixes, updating review status, or keeping code review process artifacts isolated under codereview/.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including assets (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `assets/templates/fix_plan.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Code review. The repository describes itself as: review-forge is an Agent Skill for structured, auditable code review workflows.

When your agent uses it

  • Orchestrating a code review workflow across multiple LLMs
  • Synthesizing review findings
  • Producing checklist-driven fix scopes
  • Applying selected fixes

Example prompts

  • “/review-forge”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inspect the target diff and project context.
  2. Create one review file per model or agent inside the current feature folder.
  3. Synthesize multiple model review files into a human-controlled checklist.
  4. Fix only checked and confirmed items.
  5. Run focused and regression tests after every fix batch.
  6. Verify fixes independently when possible.
  7. Update machine-readable status and localized report labels.
  8. Keep all workflow artifacts isolated from product code.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 743b229. 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 Forge loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,227 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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 1,227 words (~2,373 tokens).
