Who it is forA tech lead who wants consistent pre-merge review without reading every agent diff line by line.
The problemAgent written code often passes CI but slips on readability, design or health issues a human reviewer would catch.
The outcomeA structured review of the branch against the skill's five axes, with fixes proposed before merge.
What you need first
- Node.js for `npx skills`, or Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI or Antigravity for their native installs
- Git
- SSH keys for the Claude Code marketplace, or the HTTPS URL workaround in the README
Steps
- Install only the review skill with
npx skills add addyosmani/agent-skills --skill code-review-and-quality - In Claude Code, install the plugin with
/plugin install agent-skills@addy-agent-skillsif you prefer commands - Run
/reviewon your branch; in Claude Code use/agent-skills:reviewsince a built-in command has the same name - Run
/code-simplifyon anything the review flags as too clever - Use
/shipwhen the review is clean
Prompt for your agent
Install the code-review-and-quality skill from addyosmani/agent-skills and review the changes on this branch against main. Group findings by severity, fix the obvious ones, and list anything that needs my decision before merge.
Caveat. A per-skill npx install copies only that skill, not the shared references/ checklists; install the whole repo if you want them.
