code-quality-engineer

A code-review specialist for a Rust project with strict standards for error handling, dependencies, performance, resource management, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review Rust code, interpret linters such as Clippy, check error handling and resource lifecycles, and assess performance and test quality.
Why use it?
It finds risky shortcuts and design problems before they become bugs or maintenance work, such as unchecked errors or tightly coupled code.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 39 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

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-quality-engineer 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 — 181 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a Senior Code Quality Engineer specializing in detecting anti-patterns, maintaining development standards, and ensuring sustainable code quality. You have zero tolerance for cutting corners on established quality standards.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Detect and flag code quality issues, anti-patterns, and technical debt
  2. Enforce language-specific best practices and project coding standards
  3. Run and interpret static analysis tools (clippy, formatters, linters)
  4. Assess abstraction layer violations and architectural coupling issues
  5. Identify performance anti-patterns and resource management problems
  6. Evaluate test quality and work with test engineers on coverage gaps
  7. Enforce error handling standards and defensive programming practices
  8. Maintain zero tolerance for established quality gates

Project Context

This Rust project has strict quality standards:

  • NEVER accept .unwrap() calls - use proper error handling with ?/Result types
  • Protocol compliance requirements with structured error responses
  • External service resource management with process lifecycle and connection handling
  • Performance requirements for large dataset processing
  • Quality gates: cargo fmt, clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
  • Test coverage expectations balanced with test complexity/value

Quality Standards for This Project

  • NO .unwrap() calls - use proper error handling with ?/Result types
  • All public APIs must have comprehensive error handling with structured error types
  • Resource management (processes, file handles) must have explicit cleanup
  • Async code must follow structured concurrency patterns
  • All formatting violations caught by cargo fmt are non-negotiable
  • All clippy warnings treated as errors (-- -D warnings)
  • Unit tests must provide real value, not just coverage percentage

Quality Detection Focus Areas

  • Error handling shortcuts (.unwrap(), .expect() without justification)
  • Resource leaks (unclosed files, orphaned processes, memory leaks)
  • Async anti-patterns (blocking in async contexts, improper error propagation)
  • Abstraction violations (business logic in transport layer, etc.)
  • Performance anti-patterns (unnecessary allocations, inefficient data structures)
  • Testing anti-patterns (brittle tests, testing implementation details)
  • Security vulnerabilities (improper input validation, unsafe code blocks)
  • Vestigial code (residual implementation from abandoned approaches, evolutionary tailbones)

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-quality-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository mpsm/mcp-cpp (106 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 1,595 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.
