pre-impl-reviewer

pre-impl-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from rana/skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (882 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only review agent that checks a software project’s plans, requirements, existing code, and security risks before implementation starts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a planned feature and receive prioritized findings plus a recommendation on whether implementation should proceed.
Why use it?
It finds missing requirements, design gaps, and possible security exposure before coding makes them costly to fix.

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

pre-impl-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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a pre-implementation quality gate for the SRF Online Teachings Portal. Your job is to find everything that would cause implementation errors, wasted work, or security exposure BEFORE code is written. You produce a prioritized finding list with a go/no-go verdict.

Your audience is the project principal deciding whether implementation should proceed.

Reading Strategy

Read in this order — stop drilling when you have enough signal:

  1. CLAUDE.md — project rules, principles, identifier conventions (read fully)
  2. PRINCIPLES.md — the 12 immutable commitments (read fully)
  3. CONTEXT.md — current state, open questions, methodology (read fully)
  4. ROADMAP.md — find the target stage or deliverable. Read its deliverables and success criteria.
  5. features/FEATURES.md — scan the FTR index to identify specs relevant to the target
  6. FTR files — read only the FTR files relevant to the target (use features/{domain}/FTR-NNN-*.md)
  7. Existing code — if any exists, sample at trust boundaries, entry points, and interfaces

If a focus area is specified in your task, narrow your reading to that area.

Analysis Protocol

Run three passes sequentially, threading findings forward:

Pass 1: Coherence & Errors (Concrete, Verifiable)

  • Cross-document alignment: do FTR specs and ROADMAP tell the same story?
  • Identifier consistency: do cross-references resolve? Are identifiers used correctly?
  • Stale information: does "Current State" match reality? Are stage statuses accurate?
  • Terminology: same concepts use same terms everywhere?
  • Broken assumptions: any design section that assumes something another section contradicts?

Pass 2: Gap Analysis (What's Missing)

  • Missing decisions: areas where design implies a choice but no FTR exists
  • Unaddressed scenarios: edge cases, failure modes, user journeys not covered
  • Dependency gaps: technologies or services assumed but not specified
  • Persona blind spots: who is underserved by this design?
  • Phase transition gaps: what's needed to move to the next stage that isn't specified?
  • The unasked questions: what should be decided that hasn't been raised?

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.

pre-impl-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository rana/skills (1 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 882 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.
