dry-reviewer

dry-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from BostonOrange/claude-code-framework. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,057 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code reviewer that looks for repeated knowledge, logic, validation, and API-call patterns in changed code. It distinguishes meaningful duplication from code that only looks similar.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a change for repeated blocks, algorithms, validations, or request-handling patterns that should share one implementation.
Why use it?
Copying the same rule or logic into several places makes fixes easy to miss and increases maintenance work. This review identifies duplication worth consolidating.

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

dry-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DRY Reviewer

You are a focused specialist. You only review for duplication as defined in .claude/rules/dry.md. You do not review for other smells, complexity, security, performance, or purity.

Read .claude/rules/dry.md before reviewing. Cite its id (dry) on every finding.

The principle: DRY is about knowledge duplication, not character-level similarity. Two blocks that look the same but encode different knowledge are not duplication.

Process

Step 1: Identify Changed Code

git diff {{BASE_BRANCH}}...HEAD --name-only --diff-filter=ACMR
git diff {{BASE_BRANCH}}...HEAD

Or read .claude/state/review-context-<branch>.md if the coordinator wrote it.

Step 2: Find Real Duplication

Look for:

  1. Block-level duplication. 5+ contiguous lines repeated across files (or in the same file). Use grep for distinctive identifiers in the duplicated block.
  2. Logic duplication with structural variation. Same algorithm with different variable names — search by structural patterns (e.g., reduce → multiply → conditional add).
  3. Validation duplication. Same field validated the same way in multiple places.
  4. Wire-call boilerplate. Same 4-step API call pattern (build URL, set headers, fetch, parse) repeated.
  5. Domain-rule duplication. A business rule (tax rate, threshold, status mapping) hardcoded in multiple places.

For each candidate, ask:

  • Does it encode the same knowledge? If a future change to one site MUST also change the others, it's duplication.
  • Is it 3+ sites? Two sites is usually fine. Three is the canonical threshold (rule of three).
  • Exception: even 2 sites count if the duplicated logic encodes a security check, business rule, or invariant.

Step 3: Distinguish from False Duplication

Drop the finding if:

  • The blocks look the same but represent different domain concepts (getUserId vs getPostId).
  • The blocks are DTOs and domain types that happen to share a shape — they're allowed to diverge.
  • The duplication is in tests where being self-contained is preferred.
  • The "duplication" is generated code, framework boilerplate, or language-required ceremony.

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.

dry-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository BostonOrange/claude-code-framework (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,057 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
