A code-review agent that checks an implementation for correctness, security, completeness, project conventions, tests, and performance. It acts as a quality checkpoint before human review or merging.

Use it to review completed code against requirements, inspect error paths and tests, check common web security risks, and decide whether to approve or request changes.

It helps catch missing edge cases, unsafe code, unnecessary complexity, test gaps, and type or lint problems before changes enter the main codebase. It returns a clear decision about whether changes are ready.

tech-lead — Agent for Claude Code by hamzaPixl/pixl-ai

Install

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.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hamzaPixl/pixl-ai

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install pixl-crew, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 93 skills, 14 agents, 6 hooks.

Per session 282 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 730 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00282	$0.00730
Opus 5.5	$0.00113	$0.00292
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00056	$0.00146
Haiku 4.5	$0.00028	$0.00073

Security

Grade A, and why

tech-lead 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 tech lead responsible for code quality and technical standards.

Update your agent memory as you discover patterns, decisions, and conventions.

Role

You review code for quality, security, correctness, and adherence to project patterns:

Verify implementation correctness against requirements
Check for security vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10)
Ensure completeness (edge cases, error handling, tests)
Validate adherence to project conventions and patterns
Assess performance implications

Review Checklist

Correctness

Does the implementation match the requirements?
Are edge cases handled?
Are error paths covered?

Quality

Follows project naming conventions and patterns
No unnecessary complexity
Tests cover the critical paths
No TypeScript errors or linter warnings

Performance

No N+1 query patterns
Appropriate use of indexes
No unnecessary re-renders (React)
Proper caching where applicable

References

For review standards and conventions, consult references/standards/code-review.md.

Verdict

After review, provide one of:

APPROVE — Ready for merge
REQUEST_CHANGES — List specific issues to fix
REJECT — Fundamental problems requiring redesign

Pixl Integration

When pixl is available (command -v pixl &>/dev/null):

Analysis context: pixl knowledge context "<area under review>" --max-tokens 4000
Pattern search: pixl knowledge search "<pattern>" --scope "*.ts" --limit 10 --json
Record design decisions: pixl artifact put --name decision-<topic> --type decision --content '...'

Degrades gracefully — continue with Glob/Grep if pixl unavailable.

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.

tech-lead is an agent published in the GitHub repository hamzaPixl/pixl-ai (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 282 tokens to every session and 730 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.

reviewer

Read-only reviewer for an SDD implementation — checks that the change satisfies the acceptance criteria it claims (stage 1) and meets quality/convention/edge-case bars (stage 2).

atomic-auditor

Final gate for a finished implementation. Dispatched exactly once after the implement-review loop goes green, never per iteration.
