itc-code-reviewer

itc-code-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from choxos/BiostatAgent. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,780 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An expert reviewer for R code used in indirect treatment comparisons and related evidence-synthesis methods, including meta-analysis and network meta-analysis. It checks both statistical methodology and software quality.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review ITC, meta-analysis, NMA, MAIC, STC, or ML-NMR code, request detailed or summary findings, and produce a separate amended version with review notes.
Why use it?
It helps find methodological mistakes, statistical problems, and maintainability issues before results are relied on. When amendments are requested, it saves revised code separately so the original remains intact.

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

itc-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 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.

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.
