Hunk review skill
Every Hunk installation bundles a hunk-review skill. It teaches agents how to find a live session, inspect the review efficiently, navigate, reload, and leave notes, and it tells them not to launch the interactive TUI themselves.
Install it
Section titled “Install it”Install the skill with the skills CLI:
npx skills add modem-dev/hunk -g --skill hunk-review-g installs the skill for your user instead of one project. Add -a <agent> (for example -a claude-code) to install it for a single agent.
The installed file is a pointer: it tells the agent to run hunk skill show hunk-review and follow the output. Hunk versions before 0.24 lack hunk skill show, so the pointer falls back to reading the file printed by hunk skill path hunk-review. The instructions therefore come from the Hunk binary on your PATH and stay in step with it after every upgrade; you don't need to reinstall the skill.
Load it without the skills CLI
Section titled “Load it without the skills CLI”| Agent setup | Command |
|---|---|
| Loads instructions on demand | hunk skill show prints the skill to stdout. |
| Loads or symlinks skill files from disk | hunk skill path prints the bundled file's path. |
| Can only fetch URLs | Use the published copy. |
The published copy tracks the newest Hunk release, so prefer hunk skill show when your installed Hunk might be older.
Other bundled skills
Section titled “Other bundled skills”hunk-extensions teaches agents to build extensions against the hunkdiff/extension API:
npx skills add modem-dev/hunk -g --skill hunk-extensionshunk skill show hunk-extensionsFor the human side of the workflow, start with Review with an agent.
