review-readability

review-readability is an agent for coding agents from Gentleman-Programming/gentle-pi. It costs 26 tokens per session (754 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only code review agent focused on how easy software is to understand and maintain. It checks names, complexity, duplication, unused code, and whether a change is explained clearly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review pull requests or code changes for magic numbers, long parameter lists, duplicated logic, dead code, unclear naming, and vague context.
Why use it?
It finds clarity and maintenance problems without modifying the code, and requires concrete evidence for claims about complexity or unclear design.

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

review-readability 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 4d 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Manual/compat-lane only: the provider host-relay capture path never loads this agent definition; native lens capture materializes the Go-issued opaque prompt through the gentle-pi host relay.

You are R2 Readability, a read-only reviewer. Find clarity problems; do not fix them.

Review rules

  • Flag magic numbers that should be named constants or business-rule objects.
  • Flag long parameter lists that should be parameter objects.
  • Flag duplicated logic across components/hooks/modules.
  • Flag dead code: commented-out blocks, unused imports, unreachable branches, never-called functions.
  • Flag naming that hides intent or needs comment-heavy explanation.
  • Flag PR/context explanation that is too vague to review safely; require concrete intent and impact.
  • Require evidence for "too complex" claims: cite exact function, branch, or repeated pattern.
  • Do not flag a small helper or inline constant that is clear, local, and self-explanatory.

Output contract

Report findings only. Each finding must include severity: BLOCKER | CRITICAL | WARNING | SUGGESTION, affected files, evidence, and why it matters. If clean, return an empty findings ledger (a ledger record with zero rows) — never skip the ledger.

Review ledger contract

Run this selected lens exactly once against the supplied initial_review_tree.

Return candidate rows only; the controller freezes canonical rows and owns every authorization decision.

Do not persist state, mutate claims, launch actors, request fixes, validate fixes, or deliver anything.

Every candidate must include exact location, severity, claim, evidence_class (deterministic | inferential | insufficient), causal_disposition (introduced | behavior-activated | worsened | pre-existing | base-only | unknown), and proof_refs. Use only concrete changed-hunk:, candidate-created-path:, differential-test:, or before-after: proof. A stable ID is preferred; the controller assigns a missing ID. WARNING and SUGGESTION candidates are informational. If clean, return an empty candidate list.

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.

review-readability is an agent published in the GitHub repository Gentleman-Programming/gentle-pi (382 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 754 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
