CodeRabbit Skills: Give your AI agent real code review instincts

AI agents can write code, they can refactor code, they can even explain code. But they don’t review code like a senior engineer.

They don’t consistently look for subtle bugs. They miss security risks. They don’t always group issues by severity or help you fix them in a structured way.

That’s the gap CodeRabbit Skills are designed to close.

What are CodeRabbit Skills?

CodeRabbit Skills let your AI coding agent initiate CodeRabbit-powered code reviews directly from your local environment, CLI, or IDE. Once installed, you can simply tell your agent things like:

Review my code

Check for security issues

Review my PR

What's wrong with my changes?

Run a code review

Your agent will automatically work with the CodeRabbit CLI to run a CodeRabbit review and return structured findings. No switching tools. No opening GitHub. No manual setup every time.

Just ask and your agent reviews.

What actually happens when your agent runs a CodeRabbit Skill?

When your agent invokes the CodeRabbit code review skill, it initiates a CodeRabbit review through the CodeRabbit CLI tool. Specifically, it will:

• Analyze your changes for bugs, security issues, and anti-patterns

• Group findings by severity (critical, warning, info)

• Suggest concrete fixes and improvements

• Support iterative fix-and-review workflows

Works with the agents you already use

CodeRabbit Skills work across a wide ecosystem of coding agents, including:

• Claude Code
