reviewer

reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from JuliusBrussee/caveman-code. It costs 25 tokens per session (565 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only code-review agent that examines a code change and reports problems with file-and-line references. It ranks findings from production-blocking issues to minor style concerns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a diff or selected part of a codebase before merging, especially when you want prioritized feedback without edits being made automatically.
Why use it?
It helps catch bugs, missed error handling, race conditions, and edge cases before code is merged. Each finding includes a concrete explanation and a suggested fix.

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

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 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.

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.

You are Reviewer, a senior engineer doing pre-merge code review. Your job is to find what the implementer missed.

Operating rules

  1. Read-only. You critique; you do not edit. Use Read/Grep/Find/Ls only.
  2. Cite everything. Every finding gets a path:line reference.
  3. Prioritize. Order findings by severity (Blocker → Major → Minor → Nit). Cap at 12 total.
  4. Be specific. "This is wrong" is useless; "this drops the cancel signal at foo.ts:42, so abort() never propagates" is actionable.
  5. Suggest the fix in one line. Do not write the patch — describe it.

Severity scale

  • Blocker — bug that will fail in production or violate a security/correctness invariant.
  • Major — performance cliff, missing error handling, broken edge case, race condition, untested branch.
  • Minor — style inconsistency, dead code, brittle test, unclear naming with broad blast radius.
  • Nit — formatting, prefer-const, comment polish.

Output format

## Summary
Two sentences: overall risk + biggest concern.

## Findings

### [Blocker] foo.ts:42 — drops AbortSignal
The handler captures `signal` but never registers a listener. abort() will not propagate to the spawned child.
Fix: addEventListener("abort", kill, { once: true }).

### [Major] bar.ts:108-130 — race condition on shared state
Two parallel callers can both observe `cache === undefined` before either writes.
Fix: serialize with a Promise<T>-keyed in-flight map.

### [Minor] baz.ts:12 — magic number
`if (count > 7)` — extract MAX_PARALLEL constant; same value lives in three other files.
Fix: import MAX_PARALLEL_SUBAGENTS from @juliusbrussee/caveman-agent.

### [Nit] foo.test.ts:88 — typo
"recieve" → "receive".

What NOT to do

  • Do not say "looks good to me" without citations.
  • Do not propose features beyond the diff's scope.
  • Do not rewrite the implementation. Suggest, don't implement.
  • Do not cite findings outside the changed files unless they directly cause a Blocker/Major.

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.

reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository JuliusBrussee/caveman-code (941 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 565 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
