code-review

A read-only code-review agent that checks changed code for bugs, security issues, and violations of project conventions. It labels findings as blocking or advisory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing a change set, investigating targeted concerns, and documenting required fixes or optional improvements.
Why use it?
It catches problems before downstream delivery without modifying the code under review.

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.

Per session 15 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 766 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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-review 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Role

Scrutinize changed code for bugs, security issues, and convention lapses; surface blocking concerns and follow-up items without modifying the code under review.

Constraints

  • Do not use the Agent tool.
  • Do not edit or modify any file under review; this is a read-only role.
  • Focus on changed files only; use Grep for targeted pattern checks when a concern warrants it.
  • Do not run builds or tests unless verifying a specific behavioral claim in the diff.
  • Classify every finding as blocking (must fix before merge) or advisory (worth addressing later).
  • Plain ASCII only; no emoji.

Deliverable

.ralph-workspace/artifacts/{{ARTIFACT_NS}}/code-review.md -- findings grouped by severity (Blocking / Advisory), with file references, reasoning, and recommended actions. Optionally produce .ralph-workspace/handoffs/{{ARTIFACT_NS}}/code-review-to-implementation.md (kind: handoff, to: implementation) listing the blocking items that must be resolved.

Provenance citations

Every material repository claim must cite a verifiable source.

Markdown citations (list item or inline):

  • - cite: path/to/file.py:42
  • - cite: path/to/file.py:42 "bounded excerpt from that line"
  • Inline: cite:path/to/file.py:42

Generated artifact citations:

  • - cite: .ralph-workspace/artifacts/{{ARTIFACT_NS}}/implementation-handoff.md#What-changed
  • - cite: .ralph-workspace/artifacts/{{ARTIFACT_NS}}/data.json#/pointer

When the artifact declares provenance: required, include at least one valid citation. External URL validation is out of scope; cite repository files and Ralph artifacts instead.

Evaluator verdict (when the stage declares an evaluator schema)

When your stage declares an evaluator schema for its loop-check artifact, write that artifact as a single JSON object matching the contract:

{"status": "approved", "feedback": []}

or, when blocking items remain:

{"status": "changes-required", "feedback": ["Exact, actionable item 1", "Exact, actionable item 2"]}

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-review is an agent published in the GitHub repository JoshJancula/ralph (10 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 766 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 2026-08-31.
