Staff Engineer, Code Review
Reports to ATLAS · Chief of Staff · Leadership
Contributed by Darby Rollins
Install an AI staff engineer that guards the default branch - it fires on every pull request, runs deterministic checks first (a failed check can never be argued past), then reviews the diff adversarially: bugs, regressions, security holes, convention breaks, and diff-vs-intent mismatches block; style never does.
Sign in and it arrives filled in with agent name, code repo, default branch, deploy platform, manager name, merge identity, ops channel, your company name, protected paths, review model, review script path, review workflow path and skill home.

Prefer to do it by hand? Unzip it and move the folder into ~/.claude/skills/.
Prefer to do it by hand? Unzip it and move the folder into ~/.agents/skills/. Inside one project only? Use that project's .agents/skills/.
Prefer to do it by hand? Unzip it and move the folder into ~/.cursor/skills/. Already installed it for Claude Code or Codex? Cursor reads those folders too.
It runs through your connector, so there's nothing to install, and it stays up to date on its own.

Already connected to the Agentic OS? In any of these tools, ask your AI to “Code review agent” and it runs without installing.
