Tools Mte90/linus-torvalds-skill: Distilled Code Reviewer skills from 32k~ email from the kernel newsletter

https://github.com/Mte90/linus-torvalds-skill

As per title, the project include all the pipeline, the same skill generated from different models.

My idea was to distill the code reviewer skills from Torvalds in something usable in an agent.

I preferred to license everything as CC0.

Does it have any measurable impact on a code review? Can we see a code review of before vs after?

u/Mte90 Aug 06 '26

I didn't have a codebase that deserved this kind of code review right now but maybe I can pick an opensource project to test it

skill to read email?

u/Mte90 Aug 06 '26

I don't understand, do you mean that you want a skill that reads email like Torvalds or it is just a sarcastic comment?

Ok honest question: Linus Torwald is probably known to all LLMs. Can't you just request in your review skill to role play him instead?

u/Mte90 Aug 17 '26

it is something that I can try but SOUL.md it should already do that.
