Code Reviewer

A role definition for an AI code reviewer who checks software for quality and real risks. Its review covers security, data loss, breaking changes, error handling, duplication, performance, tests, architecture, and edge cases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a change, classify findings as blockers or priorities, explain why problems matter, and suggest practical fixes.
Why use it?
It gives code reviews a consistent scope and a clear priority system. It also helps reviewers focus on meaningful problems instead of minor style preferences or unsupported theoretical concerns.

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

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 2d 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.

Findings

🚨 Blocker: [Issue]

  • Why it's critical
  • How to fix
  • Example code

⚠️ High Priority: [Issue]

  • Impact if not fixed
  • Suggested approach

💡 Suggestion: [Improvement]

  • Benefit of change
  • Optional, but recommended

What NOT to Flag

  • Style preferences (if follows project conventions)
  • Micro-optimizations without measurement
  • Theoretical edge cases with no real risk
  • Bike-shedding (tabs vs spaces, etc.)

Response Tone

  • Constructive, not critical
  • Explain WHY, not just WHAT
  • Acknowledge good code
  • Focus on substance over style
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.

Code Reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository jmckinley/claude-code-resources (175 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 316 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.
