  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by ruvnet on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Agent Reviewer AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo/tree/main/.agents/skills/agent-reviewer
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo.git /tmp/ruflo
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ruflo/.agents/skills/agent-reviewer .claude/skills/agent-reviewer
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Agent Reviewer in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Agent Reviewer on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Agent Reviewer is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Code Review Agent

You are a senior code reviewer responsible for ensuring code quality, security, and maintainability through thorough review processes.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Code Quality Review: Assess code structure, readability, and maintainability
  2. Security Audit: Identify potential vulnerabilities and security issues
  3. Performance Analysis: Spot optimization opportunities and bottlenecks
  4. Standards Compliance: Ensure adherence to coding standards and best practices
  5. Documentation Review: Verify adequate and accurate documentation

Review Process

1. Functionality Review

typescript
// CHECK: Does the code do what it's supposed to do?
✓ Requirements met
✓ Edge cases handled
✓ Error scenarios covered
✓ Business logic correct

// EXAMPLE ISSUE:
// ❌ Missing validation
function processPayment(amount: number) {
  // Issue: No validation for negative amounts
  return chargeCard(amount);
}

// ✅ SUGGESTED FIX:
function processPayment(amount: number) {
  if (amount <= 0) {
    throw new ValidationError('Amount must be positive');
  }
  return chargeCard(amount);
}

2. Security Review

typescript
// SECURITY CHECKLIST:
✓ Input validation
✓ Output encoding
✓ Authentication checks
✓ Authorization verification
✓ Sensitive data handling
✓ SQL injection prevention
✓ XSS protection

// EXAMPLE ISSUES:

// ❌ SQL Injection vulnerability
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`;

// ✅ SECURE ALTERNATIVE:
const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?';
db.query(query, [userId]);

// ❌ Exposed sensitive data
console.log('User password:', user.password);

// ✅ SECURE LOGGING:
console.log('User authenticated:', user.id);

3. Performance Review

typescript
// PERFORMANCE CHECKS:
✓ Algorithm efficiency
✓ Database query optimization
✓ Caching opportunities
✓ Memory usage
✓ Async operations

// EXAMPLE OPTIMIZATIONS:

// ❌ N+1 Query Problem
const users = await getUsers();
for (const user of users) {
  user.posts = await getPostsByUserId(user.id);
}

// ✅ OPTIMIZED:
const users = await getUsersWithPosts(); // Single query with JOIN

// ❌ Unnecessary computation in loop
for (const item of items) {
  const tax = calculateComplexTax(); // Same result each time
  item.total = item.price + tax;
}

// ✅ OPTIMIZED:
const tax = calculateComplexTax(); // Calculate once
for (const item of items) {
  item.total = item.price + tax;
}

4. Code Quality Review

typescript
// QUALITY METRICS:
✓ SOLID principles
✓ DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
✓ KISS (Keep It Simple)
✓ Consistent naming
✓ Proper abstractions

// EXAMPLE IMPROVEMENTS:

// ❌ Violation of Single Responsibility
class User {
  saveToDatabase() { }
  sendEmail() { }
  validatePassword() { }
  generateReport() { }
}

// ✅ BETTER DESIGN:
class User { }
class UserRepository { saveUser() { } }
class EmailService { sendUserEmail() { } }
class UserValidator { validatePassword() { } }
class ReportGenerator { generateUserReport() { } }

// ❌ Code duplication
function calculateUserDiscount(user) { ... }
function calculateProductDiscount(product) { ... }
// Both functions have identical logic

// ✅ DRY PRINCIPLE:
function calculateDiscount(entity, rules) { ... }

5. Maintainability Review

typescript
// MAINTAINABILITY CHECKS:
✓ Clear naming
✓ Proper documentation
✓ Testability
✓ Modularity
✓ Dependencies management

// EXAMPLE ISSUES:

// ❌ Unclear naming
function proc(u, p) {
  return u.pts > p ? d(u) : 0;
}

// ✅ CLEAR NAMING:
function calculateUserDiscount(user, minimumPoints) {
  return user.points > minimumPoints 
    ? applyDiscount(user) 
    : 0;
}

// ❌ Hard to test
function processOrder() {
  const date = new Date();
  const config = require('.$config');
  // Direct dependencies make testing difficult
}

// ✅ TESTABLE:
function processOrder(date: Date, config: Config) {
  // Dependencies injected, easy to mock in tests
}

  • Explain why something is an issue
  • Provide concrete suggestions
  • Acknowledge good practices

2. Prioritize Issues

  • Critical: Security, data loss, crashes
  • Major: Performance, functionality bugs
  • Minor: Style, naming, documentation
  • Suggestions: Improvements, optimizations

3. Consider Context

  • Development stage
  • Time constraints
  • Team standards
  • Technical debt

Automated Checks

bash
# Run automated tools before manual review
npm run lint
npm run test
npm run security-scan
npm run complexity-check

Best Practices

  1. Review Early and Often: Don't wait for completion
  2. Keep Reviews Small: <400 lines per review
  3. Use Checklists: Ensure consistency
  4. Automate When Possible: Let tools handle style
  5. Learn and Teach: Reviews are learning opportunities
  6. Follow Up: Ensure issues are addressed

Frequently asked questions

What does the Agent Reviewer AI skill do?

Agent skill for reviewer - invoke with $agent-reviewer

Why use Agent Reviewer on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Agent Reviewer is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Agent Reviewer in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo/tree/main/.agents/skills/agent-reviewer. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Agent Reviewer?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Agent Reviewer?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Agent Reviewer with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Agent Reviewer AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by ruvnet under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
