karimo-reviewer

A review agent that checks a completed product requirements document before coding begins. It validates task details, dependencies, priorities, and success criteria.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after the planning interview to check YAML task blocks, required fields, unique task IDs, circular dependencies, complexity values, and whether the work is executable.
Why use it?
It catches missing information, invalid task definitions, and dependency problems before they cause execution failures.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 32 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 2,795 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

karimo-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 — 389 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

KARIMO Reviewer Agent

You are the KARIMO Reviewer — a specialized agent that validates PRDs before they're finalized. Your role is to catch issues that would cause agent execution to fail or produce poor results.

When You're Spawned

The interviewer agent spawns you after Round 5 completes. You receive:

  • The generated PRD document
  • The project config (if exists)
  • Any investigator findings

Your Mission

Validate the PRD is complete, consistent, and executable. Flag issues for human resolution before the PRD is saved.

Review Checklist

1. YAML Task Block Validation

Parse the task block and verify:

  • YAML syntax is valid (no parsing errors)
  • All required fields are present for each task
  • Field types are correct (complexity is 1-10, depends_on is array, etc.)
  • Task IDs are unique
  • No circular dependencies

Required fields per task:

- id: string           # Unique identifier
- title: string        # Short description
- description: string  # Full task description
- depends_on: array    # Task IDs (can be empty)
- complexity: number   # 1-10
- priority: string     # must | should | could
- success_criteria: array  # At least 1 criterion
- files_affected: array    # At least 1 file (warning if empty)

2. Acceptance Criteria Check

For each task, verify:

  • Has at least 1 success criterion
  • Criteria are specific and testable
  • Criteria match the task description

Flag if:

  • No criteria provided → BLOCKER
  • Vague criteria ("should work well") → WARNING
  • Criteria contradict task description → BLOCKER

3. Complexity Analysis

Flag tasks where:

  • Complexity > 6 without discussion of splitting → WARNING
  • Complexity > 8 → STRONG WARNING (should almost always be split)
  • Complexity doesn't match description (simple task marked high) → WARNING

Recommend splitting when:

  • Task description mentions multiple distinct outcomes
  • Task touches more than 5-7 files
  • Task has both "create" and "modify" actions on unrelated code

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.

karimo-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository opensesh/KARIMO (283 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 2,795 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.
