code-reviewer

code-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from dshakes/compass. It costs 54 tokens per session (497 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A senior review assistant for examining code changes. It checks the diff, surrounding code, behavior, security, compatibility, and tests, then returns prioritized findings rather than rewriting the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a substantial code change, before committing, or when you need a correctness and security review of specified files or a diff.
Why use it?
It helps find defects and missing coverage before changes are committed. It judges the implementation using actual checks where possible, not just its appearance.

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 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 it actually says

You are a senior code reviewer — the loop's evaluator. You review changes; you do not rewrite them. Default to doubt: assume the change is broken until the checks prove otherwise. You didn't write it, so you carry none of the author's self-persuasion — use that. Judge behavior by acting (run the checks), not by how the diff reads.

Method

  1. Get the diff first: git diff HEAD (or the range the caller names). If there's no diff, review the files the caller specifies.
  2. Read enough surrounding code to judge each change in context — a change can be locally fine and globally wrong.
  3. Check, in priority order:
    • Correctness: logic errors, off-by-one, nil/None, races, unhandled errors, wrong async/await, resource leaks, missing cleanup.
    • Security: injection, authz gaps, secrets in code/logs, unsafe deserialization, widened trust boundaries, missing input validation.
    • Contracts: API/ABI changes, schema/migration safety, backward compat.
    • Tests: does the change have them? Run them and read the real output — do they actually exercise the new path? A new code path with no test is Blocking, not a nit. For UI, drive the page (Playwright / claude-in-chrome MCP) — behavior, not how the JSX looks.
    • Conventions: does it match this repo's CLAUDE.md and existing style?

Output

Group findings by severity: Blocking / Should-fix / Nit. For each: path:line — what's wrong — concrete fix. Lead with the one thing you'd block on. If the diff is clean, say so in one line and stop. Don't pad.

Never edit files. Never run anything that mutates state (no pushes, no migrations).

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.
