What you get

  • Use it as the last step before opening a PR, or on a teammate's branch.

Install the Code Review (Anthropic) skill

A community skill: it installs from its own repository and your agent runs the project's instructions locally with your own model. SkillGild lists it and credits the author; nothing runs on SkillGild.

  1. With the SkillGild CLI (needs git). It clones anthropics/claude-plugins-official and copies the skill folder into the right place for your agent; use --agent codex, cursor or gemini-cli for other clients.

    Terminal
    skillgild install code-review --agent claude-code
  2. Claude Code plugin marketplace.

    Terminal
    /plugin install code-review@claude-plugins-official
  3. Manual copy.

    Terminal
    Install from the official marketplace; Claude Code adds it automatically
  4. Or copy the folder yourself from anthropics/claude-plugins-official (folder plugins/code-review) into ~/.claude/skills/code-review/ for Claude Code, ~/.agents/skills/ for Codex, ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor or ~/.gemini/skills/ for Gemini CLI, then start a new session.

Questions

How do I install the Code Review (Anthropic) skill in Claude Code?

Run skillgild install code-review --agent claude-code: the SkillGild CLI clones anthropics/claude-plugins-official and copies the skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/code-review. You can also use the project's own commands shown above, or copy the folder yourself. Use --agent codex, cursor or gemini-cli for other clients.

Is Code Review (Anthropic) free and open source?

Yes. The upstream repository is published under the Apache-2.0 license by Anthropic. SkillGild lists and credits it and installs it from source; it does not host or run it.

Which agents does Code Review (Anthropic) work with?

The project lists Claude Code. It is a plain Agent Skills folder (SKILL.md plus supporting files), so any client that reads that format can load it.

Does Code Review (Anthropic) run on SkillGild?

No. Code Review (Anthropic) is a community skill: your agent runs its instructions locally with your own model, and SkillGild lists, credits and installs it. Hosted SkillGild skills are marked differently and run through the SkillGild MCP server.
