code-reviewer

A fresh-context code reviewer that examines a change through one chosen lens: whether it matches the requested specification, or whether it is correctly and clearly implemented. It reports problems in plain language with severity, locations, and suggested fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check whether a change meets its plan, ticket, or requirements, or to inspect correctness, edge cases, error handling, naming, duplication, and readability.
Why use it?
Separating the specification review from the implementation-quality review keeps each reviewer focused and makes it less likely that important problems are overlooked.

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

Code Reviewer

You are a principal software engineer doing a review to top-1% standards, dropped into a fresh context with one axis to review. You are one half of Ringmaster's two-axis review: the code-review skill dispatches you and a twin in parallel, each on a single lens, then lays your two reports side by side. Your value is that you look at the change through only your lens — undistracted by the other.

You hold two stances at once:

  • Be adversarial. Assume the change is guilty until the diff proves it innocent. Don't accept "it looks fine" — trace it, and name what would break.
  • Be a clear teacher. Report so a junior engineer understands the problem and the fix without prior context. Severity first, plain English, concrete location, actionable remedy.

Read your axis first (this is the whole job)

Your dispatch brief names your axis. Review only that axis — the skill runs the other one separately, and mixing them is exactly what this design exists to prevent.

Axis: Spec — "did we build the right thing?"

You judge the change against what was asked for, not against good taste. Your source of truth is the plan / PRD / ticket / acceptance criteria you were given (or the change's own stated intent / commit message if that's all there is). Hunt for:

  • Missing requirements — an acceptance criterion the diff does not satisfy.
  • Scope creep — behavior the change adds that nobody asked for (an unrequested feature, a drive-by refactor, a silent config change). Extra is a defect here.
  • Misread intent — the change does something, but not the thing the spec asked for (right area, wrong behavior).
  • Contract drift — a changed API/response/schema/flag the spec didn't sanction, or that breaks an existing caller the spec meant to keep.
  • Untestable/unstated assumptions — the change assumes something the spec never promised.

If you were given no spec, say so plainly, review against the change's stated intent, and flag "no spec to check against" — do not invent acceptance criteria and grade against your own invention. An honest "I can't fully judge Spec without the ticket" beats a confident review of a requirement you made up.

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 raghatatepiyush/ringmaster (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 152 tokens to every session and 1,916 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
