Exhaustive AI-Powered Code Review

VerifiedSafe

Triggers on 'review' or '/review' to perform an exhaustive AI-powered code review using OpenAI Codex. It collects issue references from GitHub, Linear, and Sentry, reads any plan or referenced files, then runs a customizable review script on uncommitted changes or a specific branch/commit. Ideal before creating a pull request or after completing feature work.

Automated summary

Performs an exhaustive code review using OpenAI Codex, gathering context from GitHub, Linear, and Sentry issues.

Strengths

  • In-depth code analysis with context from issues and project plans
  • Supports uncommitted changes, specific branches, and commits
  • Integrates with GitHub, Linear, and Sentry for rich context

Limitations

  • Requires the codex CLI to be installed and authenticated
  • Defaults to uncommitted changes only; may prompt if none exist
  • Needs environment variables for Linear and Sentry integration
When to use it

Use this skill before creating a pull request or after completing feature work to get a detailed review.

When not to use it

Avoid using it for trivial changes or when you need a quick live review without setup.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score88/100

The skill runs a local Python script with user-provided arguments; no destructive commands, no external downloads, no obfuscation. It uses Bash but only to execute a predefined review tool, which is a legitimate use case. No risk of data exfiltration or system damage from the skill itself.

Review

Exhaustive AI-powered code review via OpenAI Codex.

When to Use

  • User says "review", "/review", "review my changes"
  • Before creating PR
  • After completing feature work

Workflow

1. Gather Issue References

Scan conversation for:

  • GitHub: #123, org/repo#123, GitHub URLs
  • Linear: PROJ-123, Linear URLs
  • Sentry: sentry:ID, Sentry URLs

2. Read Plan File (if exists)

Check for active plan in conversation or ~/.claude/plans/

3. Read Referenced Files

If user mentions @file.ts or specific files, include content.

4. Run Review

# Default: reviews uncommitted changes if any exist
./scripts/review.py codex \
  --issues "#123,PROJ-456" \
  --plan ./plan.md \
  --files "src/api.ts"

# If no uncommitted changes, prompts for branch/commit to compare

Command

./scripts/review.py codex [OPTIONS]

Options

| Option | Description | |--------|-------------| | --base, -b BRANCH | Compare against branch | | --uncommitted, -u | Review staged/unstaged/untracked changes (default if changes exist) | | --commit, -c SHA | Review specific commit | | --issues, -i REFS | Issue refs: #123, PROJ-456, sentry:ID, or URLs | | --plan, -p PATH | Plan file for context | | --files, -f PATHS | Additional files (comma-separated) | | --title, -t TEXT | Commit/PR title for summary | | --model, -m MODEL | Codex model (default: gpt-5.1-codex-max) |

Context Command

Gather context without running review:

./scripts/review.py context [OPTIONS]

| Option | Description | |--------|-------------| | --issues, -i REFS | Issue refs (comma-separated) | | --plan, -p PATH | Plan file path | | --files, -f PATHS | Additional files (comma-separated) | | --output, -o FORMAT | json or markdown (default: markdown) |

Requirements

  • codex CLI installed and authenticated
  • LINEAR_API_KEY - (optional) Linear API key for Linear issues
  • SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN - (optional) Sentry auth token
  • SENTRY_ORG - (optional) Sentry org slug

Output

The script displays gathered context to stderr, then launches codex review interactively. Codex outputs its review directly to the terminal.

Examples

# Default: review uncommitted changes (or prompt if none)
./scripts/review.py codex

# Explicitly review uncommitted changes
./scripts/review.py codex --uncommitted

# Review changes against specific branch
./scripts/review.py codex --base main

# Review with GitHub issue context
./scripts/review.py codex --issues "#123"

# Review with plan file
./scripts/review.py codex --plan ./plan.md

# Gather context as JSON (without running review)
./scripts/review.py context --issues "#123" --output json

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/exhaustive-ai-powered-code-review-mm78nn1f/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/exhaustive-ai-powered-code-review-mm78nn1f' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/exhaustive-ai-powered-code-review-mm78nn1f/download' --output '.skill-downloads/exhaustive-ai-powered-code-review-mm78nn1f/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/exhaustive-ai-powered-code-review-mm78nn1f/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/exhaustive-ai-powered-code-review-mm78nn1f/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Bash, Read, Glob, Grep

Original excerpt: Requirements
  • codex CLI installed and authenticated
  • LINEAR_API_KEY - (optional) Linear API key for Linear issues
  • SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN - (optional) Sentry auth token
  • SENTRY_ORG - (optional) Sentry org slug

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/exhaustive-ai-powered-code-review-mm78nn1f/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/exhaustive-ai-powered-code-review-mm78nn1f/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/review' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/exhaustive-ai-powered-code-review-mm78nn1f' '.claude/skills/review'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/exhaustive-ai-powered-code-review-mm78nn1f'

openskills read 'exhaustive-ai-powered-code-review-mm78nn1f'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/exhaustive-ai-powered-code-review-mm78nn1f/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
