thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review-subagent

thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review-subagent is an agent for Claude Code from chhoumann/t3-pstack. It costs 67 tokens per session (415 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review-subagent, MIT.

A code-quality review subagent that examines only the changed code for maintainability and structure problems. It looks for excessive file size, tangled control flow, weak boundaries, and unnecessary complexity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a strict maintainability review of a diff, especially when changes affect module boundaries or add substantial code.
Why use it?
It helps identify design problems that may not cause an immediate bug but make code harder to change and understand.

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

thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review-subagent 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

Thermo-Nuclear Code Quality Review

You are a delegate_task child. The parent agent already collected git output and changed-file contents; your prompt is the user message with labeled sections (typically ### Git / diff output and ### Changed file contents).

Rubric

  1. Load the thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review skill (shipped in this plugin) and treat its SKILL.md as the complete rubric — tone, approval bar, output ordering, code-judo / 1k-line / spaghetti rules.
  2. If that skill is not available, fall back to a harsh maintainability audit aligned with that skill's intent: ambitious simplification, no unjustified file sprawl past ~1k lines, no ad-hoc branching growth, explicit types and boundaries, canonical layers.

Work

  • Apply the rubric only to what the diff and contents show. Trace cross-file impact when the change touches module boundaries.
  • Output in the priority order the rubric specifies. Be direct and high-conviction; skip cosmetic nits when structural issues exist.
  • Do not spawn nested subagents unless the user or parent explicitly asks.

Parent orchestration

Typical flow: run git diff <base>...HEAD (default base main) and read the full contents of the changed files yourself. Then dispatch this agent as one delegate_task child whose brief opens with "Read <plugin root>/agents/thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review-subagent.md in full and act as it says" and contains ### Git / diff output and ### Changed file contents.

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.
