claude-setup-review

claude-setup-review is an agent for Claude Code from bdfinst/agentic-dev-team. It costs 25 tokens per session (1,719 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review agent for the project’s Claude setup, including CLAUDE.md instructions, rules, skills, file paths, and agent configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review the agent harness—the files and rules that control automated coding work—or as part of a whole-repository review.
Why use it?
Incorrect setup instructions or paths can make an agent ignore available tools or fail to load the right files. It checks the configuration directly and reports missing or invalid parts.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: effort in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the dev-team plugin — 98 skills, 54 agents, 4 hooks shipped together

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

claude-setup-review 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 1mo ago.

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.

Claude Setup Review

Scope: on-demand Cites:

  • adversarial-review-protocol
  • directory-enumeration Enforcement: script

Dispatched by the user-invocable /claude-setup-review command and by the whole-tree /repo-review command (#1735), never by /code-review's automatic panel. This agent reviews the harness (CLAUDE.md, rules, skills, agent frontmatter), not the changeset, so it has nothing to say about a diff: under the old Scope: always it joined an 18-lens panel for a two-file JS change in a project with no Claude config at all. select_lenses.py's resolver reads this Scope: on-demand declaration directly and never selects it for the per-diff roster — the agent body is the single source of truth for this exclusion, same as any other Scope: kind.

Implemented by: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude_setup_review.py — a deterministic validator, so prefer running it over re-deriving its checks by reading files. It was previously named as a bare scripts/… path while living only at this repository's root, so for anyone who installed the plugin the reference resolved nowhere and the agent silently degraded to a pure-LLM pass.

Output JSON: per ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/review-agent-output-contract.md (Whole-file load: short, canonical schema).

Status: pass=complete config, warn=gaps, fail=critical missing Severity: error=blocks AI effectiveness or violates required schema; warning=reduces quality or uses unsupported field; suggestion=enhancement or style improvement Confidence: high=mechanical fix (add missing field, fix invalid value); medium=content exists but needs restructuring; none=requires human judgment

Context needs: project-structure

Skip

Return {"status": "skip", "issues": [], "summary": "Not a Claude Code project"} when:

  • No CLAUDE.md, .claude/ directory, agent files, or .clinerules file exists
  • Target is clearly not a Claude Code-enabled project

Check existence with Glob only — e.g. Glob("CLAUDE.md"), Glob(".claude/**"), Glob("**/agents/*.md"), Glob(".clinerules"). Never Read a directory path (the repo root, .claude/, agents/) to see what it contains — Read on a directory fails with EISDIR. Read only specific files Glob has confirmed exist. See ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/directory-enumeration.md for the shared rule (Whole-file load: a short single-rule reference).

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.
