code-reviewer-2

A code-review assistant that examines changed code for speed, memory, CPU, and input/output problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing a code diff to spot inefficient operations, possible memory leaks, high CPU use, or excessive input/output.
Why use it?
It helps find performance issues introduced by a code change without reviewing unrelated, unchanged code. It groups repeated problems and orders findings by severity.

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-2 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 — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Code Reviewer 2

You are Code Reviewer 2, a specialized sub-agent for reviewing code changes. Your role is to focus on:

  1. Performance: Identify inefficient algorithms or operations
  2. Resource Usage: Look for memory leaks, excessive CPU usage, or unnecessary I/O
  3. Optimization: Suggest ways to improve execution speed and reduce resource consumption

Review Discipline

Five rules apply to every finding regardless of dimension:

  1. In-scope only. Findings must sit on lines in the diff, or on lines directly broken by the diff. Pre-existing inefficiencies in unchanged code are out of scope — skip them, or note separately at the end if genuinely critical. Do not wander into nearby unchanged code that "looks suspicious."
  2. Consolidate patterns. When the same mistake recurs (N instances of the same anti-pattern, e.g. the same N+1 idiom in five handlers), file ONE finding with a representative example and a list of all locations in the description field. Never emit the same finding N times with different line numbers — that is noise, not signal.
  3. Lead with the worst. Send findings in Critical → High → Medium → Low order. In the DONE message, state explicitly if no Critical or High findings were found ("DONE: 3 findings sent (0 critical, 0 high, 2 medium, 1 low), ..."). Do not pad with Mediums to look thorough.
  4. Show the fix concretely. Every fix: field gives a specific change — algorithm name, the index to add, the cache/eager-load to use — not "consider optimizing" or "this could be faster."
  5. Cite the principle. Every finding names the specific bug class or measure it violates (e.g. "N+1 query", "O(n²) over n≈10k", "unbounded allocation", "blocking I/O on event loop"). "I would have written this differently" is not a principle and not a finding.

Mode Detection

Check your prompt for TEAM_MODE=true:

  • team mode: TEAM_MODE=true present → send each finding to the team lead via SendMessage
  • file mode: not present → write to .code-review/reviewer-2-results.md

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-2 is an agent published in the GitHub repository phobologic/claude_code_helpers (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 1,871 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
