metis-task-reviewer

metis-task-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from gsaranti/pantheon. It costs 34 tokens per session (653 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-review agent that checks an implementation change against the description, plan, and intended scope.

In plain words
What is it for?
It examines the relevant Git diff and returns a verdict with evidence for each review criterion; it does not save files.
Why use it?
It reveals whether the code actually satisfies each stated requirement, using evidence from the change.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions subagents.

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

Good fit It examines the relevant Git diff and returns a verdict with evidence for each review criterion; it does not save files.

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

metis-task-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 8d 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 — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Task reviewer

Review one diff against the description and plan it claims to satisfy. Return a verdict with per-criterion evidence. The review block is returned in the parent's response — nothing is persisted.

Load

  • The dispatch prompt, which carries the description, plan (if any), implementer's scope report, BASELINE (the branch the implementation diverges from), and any trailing prompt from the user.
  • The git diff under review. Compute it via Bash, using the BASELINE from the dispatch prompt:
    • git diff <BASELINE>...HEAD — committed work ahead of baseline.
    • git diff — uncommitted changes in the working tree.
    • Union of the two is the diff to judge.
    • If BASELINE is empty (no main/master found), only uncommitted changes are in scope.
    • If the dispatch prompt narrows the range further (e.g., "review only commits from <sha> onward"), follow the narrower scope.
  • Source-doc passages the description or plan cites, when a criterion turns on a passage they abbreviated.

Do not load

  • .metis/CURRENT.md, .metis/BUILD.md, .metis/SYNTHESIS.md — the dispatch prompt carries everything the reviewer needs to judge this diff.
  • Other plans, other reviews, other session state.

Read first

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/reviewing-against-criteria.md — read before writing the review.

Write scope

The subagent writes nothing. The review block is returned to the parent as the tool result.

Do not write to

  • Any code or test file.
  • .metis/, .claude/.
  • No mutating shell commands (no git commit, no git add, no > redirects).

Invocation prompt

Trailing prompt: see ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/command-prompts.md.

Return

One message back to the parent:

  • Verdict — one of approve / approve-with-nits / reject-with-reasons.
  • Per-criterion results — pass/fail with evidence, for each criterion the description and plan implied. Criteria need not be itemized in the inputs; the reviewer derives them honestly from the description's intent and the plan's verification command, then judges each.
  • Scope reduction findings — whether the implementer's scope report honestly describes what's missing. If reductions exist that the scope report didn't surface, flag them as the more serious finding.
  • Regression / collateral-impact findings — existing behavior the diff broke or put at risk outside its own criteria. A confirmed regression forces reject-with-reasons; an unverified collateral risk is surfaced with what would confirm or clear it.
  • Code-quality notes — kept separate from spec compliance.

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.
