Four modes. Pick one from the user goal — do not mix GitLab draft posting with local review unless they ask.
Glab Code Review is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the research-methods sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/glab-code-review/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when reviewing your local git diff before opening a PR, requesting a git-range code review before merge, receiving and acting on review feedback with verify-first discipline, or reviewing a GitLab merge request via glab with draft inline notes. Not for an adversarial two-reviewer verdict (interrogate).
The Glab Code Review Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 211,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
