the-high-signal-review

Run a high-signal review of the current workspace diff or PR in Stave. Use when the user asks for "code review", "PR review", "review this diff", "high-signal review", "strict review", "inline comments only for real issues", or wants only objective bugs and applicable policy violations with validation before commenting.

Quality

Content

85%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, well-sequenced review workflow with an explicit validation gate before commenting. Its one weakness is actionability: the gh command and policy rules are concrete, but the parallel reviewer prompts and tier selection are left abstract.

Suggestions

Add an executable example of the reviewer-subagent prompt or a concrete tier/role mapping so the parallel-review step is copy-paste ready, not just described.

Specify how "lightweight and deep review tiers" map when Stave Auto is unavailable (e.g., concrete role names or prompt templates) instead of deferring to Auto.

Show the exact comment-posting command form (e.g., the `gh pr comment` invocation with inline positioning) for the fallback path, not just "otherwise `gh`".

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and free of concept padding; every line is directive instruction (e.g., "Subagents must not post comments", "Reject anything not clearly real...") and assumes Claude's competence.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides one concrete command (`gh pr view --json ...`) and specific policy-precedence rules, but the core reviewer-subagent invocations are described abstractly ("Run independent reviewers in parallel", "Give each reviewer...") without executable prompt content or tier definitions.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear 5-step sequence with an explicit validation checkpoint in step 4 ("Validate each unique issue with a separate pass before commenting" plus reject rules), giving a feedback loop before the destructive act of posting comments.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

A compact (~40 line), well-organized instruction-only skill with no external bundle files; per the simple-skills note, clear sectioning (Workflow, Fallbacks) earns a 3 without external references.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A precise, third-person description that names concrete actions and an explicit trigger clause with multiple natural user phrasings. It cleanly answers both what the skill does and when to invoke it, with low conflict risk.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — running a strict false-positive-filtered review, surfacing only objective bugs and applicable policy violations, and validating before commenting — rather than vague language.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly states what it does ("Run a high-signal review...") and when to use it ("Use when the user asks for..."), satisfying both halves with explicit trigger guidance.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Covers natural phrasings a user would actually say ("code review", "PR review", "review this diff", "high-signal review", "strict review", "inline comments only for real issues") with good breadth.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche — strict, validation-gated diff/PR review in Stave — with distinctive triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.
