CodeRabbit Skills and Plugins
The canonical home for CodeRabbit's agent-native skills and plugin packaging.
Use it to install AI-powered code review into 35+ coding agents, Gemini CLI,
Antigravity CLI, Claude Code, Cursor, and other supported agent environments.
CodeRabbit detects bugs, security issues, and quality risks before you merge.
Quickstart
Install the CodeRabbit CLI via the CLI docs,
then tell your agent: “Review my code.” The review command starts the
authentication flow when needed.
Installation
1. Install the CodeRabbit CLI
Use the CLI docs for the primary install path.
They cover Homebrew, the install script, and CLI usage.
2. Install the agent integration
Choose the path that matches your coding agent.
Skills installer
For agents that support portable SKILL.md files, use the
skills docs.
npx skills add coderabbitai/skills
Installation options for the skills installer:
| Flag | Purpose |
|---|
-g, --global | Install to user directory instead of project |
-a, --agent | Target specific agents (for example claude-code) |
-s, --skill | Install particular skills by name |
--all | Install all skills to all agents without prompts |
Claude Plugin
In Claude Code, install the plugin from the official marketplace:
/plugin marketplace update
/plugin install coderabbit@claude-plugins-official
A listing in the Claude directory is in review. Once it's published, you'll
also be able to add CodeRabbit from Customize > Plugins > Discover in
claude.ai or the Claude desktop app, and it will sync to Claude Code sessions
where you're signed in with the same claude.ai account. If you install from
both places, Claude Code loads the marketplace copy.
For the full setup flow, see the
Claude Code integration guide.
Cursor Plugin
This repository now includes Cursor marketplace metadata in
/.cursor-plugin/plugin.json.
After publication, Cursor marketplace installs use:
/add-plugin coderabbit
For the current recommended setup, see the
Cursor integration guide.
Gemini CLI Extension (pre-release)
Until v1.2.0 is published as the Latest release, Gemini CLI users can install
the native extension from main:
gemini extensions install https://github.com/coderabbitai/skills --ref main
gemini extensions list
After v1.2.0 is published, the --ref main option can be omitted.
The repository-root gemini-extension.json packages
the portable skills, /coderabbit:review command, and both subagents.
This native extension is separate from the generic skills-installer path above.
Antigravity CLI Plugin
Antigravity CLI users can install the native plugin directly from this
repository:
agy plugin install https://github.com/coderabbitai/skills
agy plugin list
The repository-root plugin.json manifest packages the skills,
review command, and both subagents for Antigravity CLI's plugin discovery.
Codex App
Codex users can install the official CodeRabbit plugin by following the
Codex app integration guide.
Native Codex metadata in .codex-plugin/plugin.json
references the existing skills/ directory. Marketplace publication remains a
separate step; this source change does not update the live listing.
For an at-a-glance inventory of active and repo-packaged distribution paths, see
DISTRIBUTION_CHANNELS.md.

Usage
Once installed, just ask your agent:
Review my code
Check for security issues
What's wrong with my changes?
Run a code review
Review my PR
Review the directory at ../my-service
The agent will automatically:
- Check if CodeRabbit CLI is installed
- Run the review on your changes
- Present findings grouped by severity
- Optionally fix issues and re-review
When you ask for a specific review directory, the agent can pass CodeRabbit CLI
--dir <path> after confirming that path is inside an initialized Git working
tree.

Plugin Components
Claude Code
- Skills:
code-review and autofix. Run them as /coderabbit:code-review
and /coderabbit:autofix, or ask in plain language, such as "review my
changes" or "fix the CodeRabbit comments on this PR".
- Subagents:
code-reviewer runs a CodeRabbit review in its own context, and
autofix collects and checks unresolved CodeRabbit review threads
and returns a fix plan without editing anything. Mention them as
@agent-coderabbit:code-reviewer and @agent-coderabbit:autofix.
- Manifest:
.claude-plugin/plugin.json
The Claude plugin has no slash commands of its own. In Claude, use
/coderabbit:code-review instead of the earlier
/coderabbit:coderabbit-review.
The plugin runs reviews through the locally installed CodeRabbit CLI, so it
needs a shell on a machine where the CLI is installed and logged in. Claude Code
has full support. Cowork and Claude chat on the web, desktop, and mobile can
load the skills, but a review runs only where the CodeRabbit CLI is available,
and chat doesn't run subagents.
Cursor
- Marketplace manifest:
.cursor-plugin/plugin.json
- Skills source:
skills/
Antigravity CLI
- Native plugin manifest:
plugin.json
- Skills source:
skills/
- Review command:
/coderabbit:review from commands/coderabbit/review.toml (converted to a skill during installation)
- Subagents:
agents/code-reviewer.md, agents/autofix.md
Gemini CLI
- Native extension manifest:
gemini-extension.json
- Skills source:
skills/
- Slash command:
/coderabbit:review (commands/coderabbit/review.toml)
- Subagents:
agents/code-reviewer.md, agents/autofix.md
Data and Privacy
The Claude plugin contains two skills and two subagents. It bundles no MCP
servers, hooks, or executables.
- Local commands: the
code-review skill and the code-reviewer subagent
run the installed coderabbit CLI and read-only Git commands. The autofix
skill uses the installed GitHub CLI (gh) to read CodeRabbit review threads
on the current pull request and, when you approve, to create a pull request or
post a summary comment. The autofix subagent only reads: it runs
read-only git and gh commands and never edits, commits, pushes, or posts.
- Data sent: when you run a review, the CodeRabbit CLI sends the code
changes under review and the repository context needed to review them to
CodeRabbit's service.
autofix exchanges pull request data with GitHub
through gh. The plugin sends nothing on its own.
- Credentials: the CodeRabbit CLI and
gh handle their own login and store
their own credentials. The plugin doesn't read or send credentials.
- Policy: CodeRabbit's handling, retention, and sharing of review data is
described in the CodeRabbit Privacy Policy.
