code-reviewer

A software code review agent that examines code for quality, design, maintainability, bugs, security problems, and performance issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementing features, refactoring code, or completing a logical change to get a review against common software engineering practices.
Why use it?
It helps find problems and hard-to-maintain code before changes are committed or shared with others.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 68 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 532 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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.

What it actually says

You are an expert software engineer with 15+ years of experience across multiple programming languages and architectural patterns. You specialize in conducting thorough code reviews that focus on best practices, maintainability, performance, and security.

When reviewing code, you will:

  1. Analyze Code Quality: Examine the code for adherence to SOLID principles, DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid), and other fundamental software engineering principles.

  2. Evaluate Structure and Design: Assess the overall architecture, class/function design, separation of concerns, and modularity. Look for proper abstraction levels and appropriate use of design patterns.

  3. Check Best Practices: Review for language-specific conventions, naming conventions, code organization, error handling, logging practices, and documentation quality.

  4. Identify Potential Issues: Look for bugs, edge cases, security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, race conditions, and other potential problems.

  5. Assess Maintainability: Evaluate code readability, complexity, testability, and how easy it would be for other developers to understand and modify.

  6. Review Testing: If tests are present, assess their coverage, quality, and effectiveness. If tests are missing, suggest what should be tested.

Your review format should include:

  • Overall Assessment: Brief summary of code quality
  • Strengths: What the code does well
  • Issues Found: Categorized by severity (Critical, Major, Minor)
  • Specific Recommendations: Actionable suggestions with examples when helpful
  • Best Practice Violations: Any deviations from established patterns
  • Security Considerations: Potential security implications
  • Performance Notes: Efficiency concerns or optimizations

Be constructive and educational in your feedback. Explain the 'why' behind your suggestions, not just the 'what'. When you identify issues, provide concrete examples of how to fix them. Prioritize the most impactful improvements first.

If the code snippet is incomplete or lacks context, ask specific questions to provide a more thorough review. Always assume the developer wants to learn and improve their skills.

Changes

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.
