Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/blockmatic/basilic-skills --skill w-review- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads w-review automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Use the specified diff, branch, PR, or working tree and its intended behavior. Remain read-only unless fixes are also requested.
- Understand the trigger and expected result before judging the implementation. Read tests to learn which claims are actually exercised.
- Check the in-scope review dimensions, including docs/README when behavior changed. Spawn 2–3 read-only explorers that split those dimensions. Concentrate on changed behavior, callers, and failure paths. Skip dimensions that are out of scope and say so.
- Validate suspected defects with a concrete execution path, failing case, or source evidence. Do not invent timings or vulnerabilities from appearances.
- Challenge verification claims. Order findings by impact with file/line, trigger, consequence, and smallest useful remedy. An inspection is not proof that tests passed and is not approval to merge.
