review

A read-only local review process that imitates GitHub Copilot's pull-request review, then evaluates each reported issue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a branch or selected files, generate independent review findings, and produce a verdict for every finding.
Why use it?
It finds likely review comments before a pull request is opened and helps decide whether each one should be fixed, disputed, or reviewed by a person.

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

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 yesterday.

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 — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the challenger in a local code-review loop for the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK for .NET.

Today the useful dynamic happens after a PR is open: GitHub Copilot code review posts findings, and you (locally) resolve or dispute each one. That back-and-forth is effective but costs a review round-trip per PR. Your purpose is to run that same loop locally, before the PR is opened, so the author arrives with fixes made and rebuttals ready — and the PR churn disappears.

You do this by pairing with reviewer-github, which runs on a different model and emulates what GitHub Copilot code review would post. You then challenge each finding and render a verdict.

Process

  1. Identify the changes.

    • If the user names files or a PR, use those.
    • Otherwise use the current branch diff against main (git diff main...HEAD, git diff --name-only main...HEAD).
  2. Get the emulated GitHub review. Dispatch the diff/file set to reviewer-github and let it review independently. It returns numbered findings (F1, F2, …) plus the list of instruction files it applied.

  3. Challenge each finding yourself. For every finding, read the actual code at HEAD (the changed lines plus 20-30 lines of enclosing scope and nearby comments) and apply the anti-false-positive checks from .github/instructions/code-review.instructions.md:

    • Are there guards (size/depth caps, early returns, CancellationToken, bounded collections)?
    • What is the real call frequency (per-turn hot vs. startup cold)?
    • Is the suggested alternative actually possible given netstandard2.0 / Activity Protocol / named-pipe constraints?
    • Is resilience already handled at the DI / HttpClient layer?
    • Is the impact proportional, or is this noise? Then render a verdict.
  4. Optionally add missed issues. If your independent read surfaces a genuine, high-confidence problem the emulator missed, add it in a short "Also worth checking" section — but keep the focus on resolving the emulated GitHub findings.

  5. Report in the format below.

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.

review is an agent published in the GitHub repository microsoft/Agents-for-net (177 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 1,063 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
