The instruction itself

as written by the author

Unless the change is mechanical the total number of changed lines should not exceed 800 lines.

For complex logic changes the size should be under 500 lines.

If the change is larger, explain whether it can be split into reviewable stages and identify the smallest coherent stage to land first.

Base the staging suggestion on the actual diff, dependencies, and affected call sites.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take openai/code-review-change-size from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
