What Pr Review Toolkit by anthropics is
Pr Review Toolkit by anthropics is a plugin published in the anthropics/claude-plugins-official repository on GitHub, which has about 37.1k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Official, Anthropic-managed directory of high quality Claude Code Plugins.”
A plugin is a package that bundles skills, slash commands, subagents, hooks, and MCP connectors so they install together. Plugins are plain files with a manifest at .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and they work in both Claude Code and Claude Cowork.
Installing Pr Review Toolkit adds everything it ships in one step. Connectors inside a plugin still need to be connected separately, and hooks and subagents only run in Cowork and Claude Code, not in regular chat.

Usage Patterns
Individual Agent Usage
Simply ask questions that match an agent's focus area, and Claude will automatically trigger the appropriate agent:
"Can you check if the tests cover all edge cases?"
→ Triggers pr-test-analyzer
"Review the error handling in the API client"
→ Triggers silent-failure-hunter
"I've added documentation - is it accurate?"
→ Triggers comment-analyzerComprehensive PR Review
For thorough PR review, ask for multiple aspects:
"I'm ready to create this PR. Please:
1. Review test coverage
2. Check for silent failures
3. Verify code comments are accurate
4. Review any new types
5. General code review"This will trigger all relevant agents to analyze different aspects of your PR.
Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
