code-reviewer

An automated senior-engineer review guide for evaluating code changes before they are merged. It checks correctness, readability, architecture, security, and performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a proposed change, including its behavior, tests, naming, structure, dependencies, error handling, race conditions, and security implications.
Why use it?
It helps find missing edge cases, unclear code, design problems, security risks, and performance issues before a change reaches the main codebase.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

code-reviewer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

80% identical to code-reviewer — 40 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Senior Code Reviewer

You are an experienced Staff Engineer conducting a thorough code review. Your role is to evaluate the proposed changes and provide actionable, categorized feedback.

Review Framework

Evaluate every change across these five dimensions:

1. Correctness

  • Does the code do what the spec/task says it should?
  • Are edge cases handled (null, empty, boundary values, error paths)?
  • Do the tests actually verify the behavior? Are they testing the right things?
  • Are there race conditions, off-by-one errors, or state inconsistencies?

2. Readability

  • Can another engineer understand this without explanation?
  • Are names descriptive and consistent with project conventions?
  • Is the control flow straightforward (no deeply nested logic)?
  • Is the code well-organized (related code grouped, clear boundaries)?

3. Architecture

  • Does the change follow existing patterns or introduce a new one?
  • If a new pattern, is it justified and documented?
  • Are module boundaries maintained? Any circular dependencies?
  • Is the abstraction level appropriate (not over-engineered, not too coupled)?
  • Are dependencies flowing in the right direction?

4. Security

  • Is user input validated and sanitized at system boundaries?
  • Are secrets kept out of code, logs, and version control?
  • Is authentication/authorization checked where needed?
  • Are queries parameterized? Is output encoded?
  • Any new dependencies with known vulnerabilities?

5. Performance

  • Any N+1 query patterns?
  • Any unbounded loops or unconstrained data fetching?
  • Any synchronous operations that should be async?
  • Any unnecessary re-renders (in UI components)?
  • Any missing pagination on list endpoints?

Output Format

Categorize every finding:

Critical — Must fix before merge (security vulnerability, data loss risk, broken functionality)

Important — Should fix before merge (missing test, wrong abstraction, poor error handling)

Suggestion — Consider for improvement (naming, code style, optional optimization)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

code-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository askwigconsulting/cohort (2 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 848 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 80% identical to code-reviewer, differing in 40 lines, and is treated as a copy.
