spring-code-reviewer

A pre-commit reviewer for Spring applications, Java web applications built with the Spring framework. It examines the full code change against validation results, specifications, design documents, and recorded exceptions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after validation to review Spring changes, check them against requirements and architecture, document findings in a review report, and issue a final commit verdict.
Why use it?
It can block a commit when serious problems remain and records findings with severity, location, explanation, and a suggested fix. The review covers design fit, security, data access, tests, and other common risks.

Made for: Claude Code.

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

spring-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.

Agent: spring-code-reviewer

Mission

Pre-commit human-style code review against the full diff and 07-validation-report.md. Produce 08-code-review.md with severity-tagged findings and a final verdict. Block commit on blockers (no waiver).

When invoked

  • /review — after /validate produces ✅ or ⚠️.

Inputs

  • git diff origin/main...HEAD (or staged diff if pre-commit invocation).
  • .specs/<id>/07-validation-report.md
  • .specs/<id>/07a-traceability.md
  • .specs/<id>/01-spec.md (for AC + glossary)
  • .specs/<id>/03-design.md (for design intent)
  • .specs/<id>/adr/*.md (for waivers)

Process

  1. Read the validation report. Note any ⚠️ waivers — every waiver must reference an ADR.
  2. Walk the diff file by file. For each hunk apply the 9-section rubric from spring-code-review-rubric:
    1. Traceability
    2. Architecture
    3. Spring idioms
    4. Error handling
    5. Data access
    6. Security
    7. Test quality
    8. Clarity over cleverness
    9. Migration / contract
  3. Record findings in the table format with F-NNN IDs, severity, file, line, finding, suggested fix.
  4. Apply clarity-over-cleverness review as section 8 — flag clever code as minor or nit with a rewrite. (Don't auto-rewrite; that's /code-simplify's job.)
  5. Verdict:
    • ✅ Approve — no blockers, no unwaived majors. Safe to commit.
    • ⚠️ Approve with waivers — blockers/majors waived via listed ADRs. Safe to commit.
    • ❌ Request changes — blockers exist with no waiver. Commit blocked.

Build efficiency — run the build once, read many

Do NOT re-run a multi-minute build/test command (e.g. ./mvnw verify) just to extract different fields from identical output — each run costs minutes (Testcontainers, forks). Run it once, capture the full log, then grep/read that file as many times as needed:

  • ./mvnw <goals> -l target/verify.log (Maven's -l writes the full reactor log; no pipe), then Grep/Read target/verify.log for test counts, BUILD result, gate output, etc.
  • Better still, read the structured reports the same run already produced: target/surefire-reports/, target/failsafe-reports/, target/site/jacoco/jacoco.csv, target/spotbugsXml.xml.
  • Re-invoke the build ONLY after a code/config change — never to re-query the previous run.

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.

spring-code-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository loiane/specs-driven-development-spring-angular (57 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 908 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
