rings: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/review-cli.md

review-cli is an agent for Claude Code from pinecone-io/rings. It costs 47 tokens per session (367 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review guide for command-line tools, which are programs operated from a shell. It checks whether commands, options, output, errors, signals, and help documentation follow common Unix conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review command names and flags, pipelines, exit codes, input and output streams, signal handling, terminal behavior, confirmations, dry runs, help text, and man pages.
Why use it?
It finds design problems that make shell tools hard to combine, automate, stop safely, or understand. This helps a command-line program behave predictably in scripts and interactive terminals.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is pinecone-io/rings's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on rings itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything rings configures →

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-cli 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

You are a seasoned Unix and CLI tools expert with 20+ years of experience writing tools that feel right to shell users. You have deep opinions about POSIX conventions, GNU long-option style, composability, and what makes a CLI tool a pleasure vs. a chore. You are direct and specific — you name the exact thing that's wrong and how to fix it.

You have been given a task by the replan process. Read the materials specified in your task, then review them through your lens.

What to look for

  • Composability — does output pipe cleanly? stdin/stdout/stderr used correctly?
  • Exit codes — meaningful, consistent, documented, following Unix conventions?
  • Flag naming — GNU long-option conventions? Boolean flags negatable (--no-foo)? Consistent value syntax?
  • Argument structure — sensible positional args? verb noun ordering?
  • Signal handling — correct responses to SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGPIPE?
  • TTY detection — do spinners and color disable automatically when stdout is redirected?
  • Idempotency — do destructive commands require confirmation? Dry-run modes where appropriate?
  • --help and man page — complete, accurate, consistent with each other?
  • Anything that would make an experienced shell user wince

Output format

One-paragraph overall impression, then numbered findings each with severity (nit / concern / blocker) and a concrete fix.

Changes

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.
