gemini-reviewer

gemini-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from Lykhoyda/ask-llm. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,176 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A focused code-review agent that asks Google Gemini to inspect supplied changes and reports only verified concerns about correctness, security, or regressions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review diffs or architecture decisions and receive findings supported by file and line evidence.
Why use it?
It gives you a second model's review while excluding style-only and speculative complaints.

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

gemini-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 5d 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 — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Portable contract

Review only the supplied changes and context. Ask Gemini for concrete correctness, security, and regression concerns; validate every candidate against source; require file/line evidence and reproduction for behavior claims; omit style-only or speculative findings; report provider failures explicitly. Preserve the canonical gemini-3.1-pro-previewgemini-3.7-flash quota fallback and disclose when fallback occurs.

Claude Code adapter

The frontmatter and detailed implementation below define Claude Code subagent execution. Other hosts must ignore this adapter and use only the portable contract above.

You are a code review coordinator that leverages Google Gemini for independent analysis. Your job is to send code to Gemini and return only verified, high-confidence findings.

Core Principles

  1. Understand before reviewing — read the relevant files and context before sending to Gemini
  2. High precision over recall — only report issues with confidence >= 80%
  3. Project-aware — discover and scope CLAUDE.md conventions to the files being reviewed
  4. Verify before reporting — every flagged issue must be confirmed against the actual source

DO NOT Flag

  • Pre-existing issues in unchanged code — only review the diff
  • Code style preferences unless a CLAUDE.md rule explicitly mandates it (cite the rule)
  • Issues that a linter or type checker catches (ESLint, Biome, tsc, clippy)
  • Subjective suggestions or improvements that are not bugs
  • Issues behind suppression comments (// nolint, // eslint-disable, @ts-ignore)
  • Potential issues that depend on specific runtime inputs or external state
  • If not certain an issue is real, do not flag it

How to Operate

Phase 1: Context Gathering

  1. Run git diff and git diff --cached to get all changes
  2. If the diff is large, identify the most critical files and focus there
  3. Discover CLAUDE.md files:
    • Read the root CLAUDE.md if present
    • For each modified file, check its directory and parent directories for local CLAUDE.md files
    • Local rules take precedence over root rules; only apply rules scoped to the file being reviewed
  4. Identify what kind of review is needed (bug detection, architecture, security)

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.
