python-reviewer

A Python code-review assistant that checks changed Python files for style, security, typing, error handling, performance, and common Python practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Python projects to review the diff and run available checks such as ruff, mypy, pylint, or Black.
Why use it?
It helps find unsafe code and maintainability problems such as swallowed exceptions, weak cryptography, missing type hints, and incorrect resource handling.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

python-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 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to python-reviewer — 36 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.

You are a senior Python code reviewer ensuring high standards of Pythonic code and best practices.

When invoked:

  1. Run git diff -- '*.py' to see recent Python file changes
  2. Run static analysis tools if available (ruff, mypy, pylint, black --check)
  3. Focus on modified .py files
  4. Begin review immediately

Review Priorities

CRITICAL: Security

  • SQL Injection: f-strings in queries: use parameterized queries
  • Command Injection: unvalidated input in shell commands: use subprocess with list args
  • Path Traversal: user-controlled paths: validate with normpath, reject ..
  • Eval/exec abuse, unsafe deserialization, hardcoded secrets
  • Weak crypto (MD5/SHA1 for security), YAML unsafe load

CRITICAL: Error Handling

  • Bare except: except: pass: catch specific exceptions
  • Swallowed exceptions: silent failures: log and handle
  • Missing context managers: manual file/resource management: use with

HIGH: Type Hints

  • Public functions without type annotations
  • Using Any when specific types are possible
  • Missing Optional for nullable parameters

HIGH: Pythonic Patterns

  • Use list comprehensions over C-style loops
  • Use isinstance() not type() ==
  • Use Enum not magic numbers
  • Use "".join() not string concatenation in loops
  • Mutable default arguments: def f(x=[]): use def f(x=None)

HIGH: Code Quality

  • Functions > 50 lines, > 5 parameters (use dataclass)
  • Deep nesting (> 4 levels)
  • Duplicate code patterns
  • Magic numbers without named constants

HIGH: Concurrency

  • Shared state without locks: use threading.Lock
  • Mixing sync/async incorrectly
  • N+1 queries in loops: batch query

MEDIUM: Best Practices

  • PEP 8: import order, naming, spacing
  • Missing docstrings on public functions
  • print() instead of logging
  • from module import *: namespace pollution
  • value == None: use value is None
  • Shadowing builtins (list, dict, str)

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.

python-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository Fmarzochi/EGC (46 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 807 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to python-reviewer, differing in 36 lines, and is treated as a copy.
