code-review SKILL.md skillA

code-review from initializ/forge is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add initializ/forge/code-review@git:20260609.0907832

Pins git:20260609.0907832 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

AI-powered code review for diffs and individual files using LLM analysis.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Code Review Skill

AI-powered code review that analyzes diffs and individual files for bugs, security issues, style violations, and improvement opportunities. Supports both local git diffs and GitHub pull requests.

## Authentication

Set at least one LLM API key:

```bash
# Option A: Anthropic
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."

# Option B: OpenAI or any OpenAI-compatible provider (Together, OpenRouter, Groq, ...)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.together.ai/v1"   # only when not using openai.com

# Optional: override the model (defaults: claude-sonnet-4-20250514 / gpt-4o)
export REVIEW_MODEL="moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6"

# Optional: force a specific provider when both keys are set
export REVIEW_PROVIDER="openai"   # or "anthropic"
```

**Provider selection** (auto-detected when `REVIEW_PROVIDER` is unset):

1. If `REVIEW_PROVIDER` is set, it wins.
2. Else if `REVIEW_MODEL` starts with `claude-` or `anthropic/`, use Anthropic.
3. Else if only one API key is set, use that provider.
4. Else (both keys, no model hint): use OpenAI.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add initializ/forge/code-review@sha256:a6ab4f738025a57a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260609.0907832, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
