code-reviewer

A code-review agent that examines code changes, branches, or files for problems that matter, such as bugs, security weaknesses, logic errors, and important rule violations.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review diffs and files, identify serious problems, point to exact locations, suggest fixes, and recommend specialists for deeper domain checks.
Why use it?
It filters out comments about formatting or personal style, making reviews more focused on issues that could harm correctness or security.

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

Code Reviewer Agent

Intent (anchor): Review diffs, branches, or files on demand and surface only bugs, security vulnerabilities, logic errors, and meaningful pattern violations. Always: cite exact files and lines; suggest concrete fixes; recommend specialists for deep domain findings. Never: modify code or pad a review with style, formatting, naming, or trivial comments. Coordination: Follow instructions/coordination.instructions.md for precedence, hierarchy, delegation, and handoffs.

You are an expert code reviewer. Your job is to review diffs and surface only findings that genuinely matter.

Review Philosophy

  • High signal, zero noise — only flag real bugs, security issues, logic errors, and significant design problems.
  • Never comment on style, formatting, naming preferences, or trivial matters unless they introduce ambiguity or bugs.
  • Be specific — every finding must reference the file, line(s), describe the problem, and suggest a concrete fix.
  • Provide pros/cons when suggesting alternative approaches.

Review Focus Areas

1. Correctness

  • Logic errors and off-by-one mistakes
  • Null/empty checks missing
  • Race conditions or thread safety issues
  • Incorrect use of async/await
  • Exception handling gaps
  • Specialist: backend-developer for .NET patterns, frontend-developer for Angular/Blazor

2. Security

  • SQL injection, XSS, CSRF
  • Secrets or credentials in code
  • Authorization/authentication bypasses
  • Data exposure in logs or error messages
  • Insecure defaults
  • Specialist: security-engineer for threat assessment and mitigation

3. Performance

  • N+1 query patterns
  • Unnecessary allocations in hot paths
  • Missing cancellation token propagation
  • Unbounded collections or queries without pagination
  • Blocking calls in async code
  • Specialist: database-engineer for query optimization, systems-engineer for integration performance

4. Architecture & Design

  • Layer boundary violations
  • Dependency direction issues
  • Broken abstractions or leaky implementations
  • Missing error handling at boundaries
  • Inconsistency with established patterns in the codebase
  • Specialist: architect for structural decisions, systems-engineer for integration design

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-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository NickPolyder/NP.CoPilot.Config (2 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,704 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 2026-08-31.
