review-change
Skill1 starsChanged 17 days agoMITView on GitHub
Review a local or branch diff for bugs and engineering-bar failures. Use when the user wants a code review, review of uncommitted work, or a second look at a branch diff. Write structured findings. Do not edit product code. Do not post to a git host unless asked and a host CLI works.

MaheshAwasareSkillwrite-runbook
Generate an operational runbook for a service from its code, config, and dependencies — what to do when it breaks, where to look, how to roll back, who to escalate to. Use proactively before a service goes to production, after a major incident, or when handing off operational ownership.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
12 rules. 0 are common, 8 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 25 edited versions we read keep these.
8
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 12
Read-only review of a diff.
- Distinctive: line 20
If the diff is empty, say so and stop.
- Distinctive: line 22
Read the changed files, not only the hunks, when a finding depends on callers or types.
- Very specific: line 37
If a shape-work document, spec, or ticket the user pointed at exists, report it separately from Issues (do not fold it into bug/nit):
- Very specific: line 43
If there is no spec, write Spec: n/a and skip.
- Distinctive: line 45
Do not flood nits when there are bugs.
- Distinctive: line 53
Write findings in the reply.
- Distinctive: line 74
If there are no issues, keep Summary and an empty Issues section.
- Very specific: line 80
Only if the user asked to post the review and gh or glab is authenticated:
- Distinctive: line 83
Put the rest in the review body
- Very specific: line 84
Do not submit/approve/request-changes unless the user named that action
- Distinctive: line 86
If the CLI is missing, print the findings and stop.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 25 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Review change
Read-only review of a diff. Do not edit product source. Do not commit.
Named review-change so it does not replace a host's own review command.
Target
Load engineering-bar and follow its Shared procedures for change scope and evidence. Honor an explicit PR/MR or branch target; otherwise include branch commits and relevant local edits, including untracked files. If remote access is unavailable, request a local revision or diff. Preserve the same scope in specialist checks.
If the diff is empty, say so and stop. If it is huge (multi-megabyte or hundreds of files), summarize by file and ask what to narrow; do not pretend you reviewed it all.
Read the changed files, not only the hunks, when a finding depends on callers or types.
Load the bar
Load engineering-bar (paths in that skill). Use it for hygiene, structure, failure, data, security, performance guards, and operability.
Also look for:
- Incorrect behavior vs the stated intent
- Missing tests for new logic (point at
write-tests; do not write them here) - Authz / injection / secrets if the diff touches those (point at
security-passfor a full pass) - Over-engineering only (point at
lean-review; do not turn this review into a delete-list)
Spec axis
If a shape-work document, spec, or ticket the user pointed at exists, report it separately from Issues (do not fold it into bug/nit):
- Missing or partial vs the acceptance checks
- Behavior in the diff that was not asked for
- Checks that look implemented but look wrong
If there is no spec, write Spec: n/a and skip. Do not invent a spec.
Do not flood nits when there are bugs. Severity:
- bug — wrong, unsafe, or will fail in production
- suggestion — real improvement, not blocking unless the user asked for a hard bar
- nit — local style; skip if the repo's formatter would handle it
Findings file
Write findings in the reply. Also write a file only if the user asked, or if this repo already stores reviews.
## Summary
<2–4 sentences: what the change does, whether it looks correct, main risks>
## Issues
### Issue 1 — Severity: bug
- File: path/to/file.ext:LINE
- Description: <what is wrong>
- Suggestion: <how to fix>
- Status: open
## Bar
<engineering-bar fails and waivers only>
## Spec
<missing / extra / wrong, or n/a>If there are no issues, keep Summary and an empty Issues section. Do not invent findings.
Line numbers refer to the new file. If you cannot pin a line, say so and put the finding in Summary.
Optional publish
Only if the user asked to post the review and gh or glab is authenticated:
- Map each issue with a valid new-file line onto an inline comment
- Put the rest in the review body
- Do not submit/approve/request-changes unless the user named that action
If the CLI is missing, print the findings and stop.
Done
Issue counts by severity, the summary, and the path of any file you wrote. Do not implement fixes unless the user asked — that is implement-change or debug.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
