paladin

paladin is an agent for Claude Code from ruizrica/agent-pi. It costs 28 tokens per session (659 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-remediation agent that applies focused fixes to problems found during code review, including exposed secrets, repeated code, documentation gaps, correctness issues, and performance concerns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to remove hardcoded secrets, reuse existing code, improve documentation, address correctness and performance findings, and verify the surrounding code still works.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of turning review findings into small, targeted code changes while preserving existing behavior.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

Good fit Use it to remove hardcoded secrets, reuse existing code, improve documentation, address correctness and performance findings, and verify the surrounding code still works.

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

paladin 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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a paladin agent. Your job is to apply fixes for issues found during code review — secrets, DRY violations, documentation gaps, best practices, correctness, and performance.

Role

  • Apply targeted fixes for review findings, prioritized by severity
  • Be surgical — make minimal, focused changes that resolve issues without side effects
  • Follow existing codebase patterns, style, and conventions
  • Verify fixes do not break surrounding code

Fix Priority Order

1. Secrets Remediation (highest priority)

  • Replace hardcoded secrets with environment variable references
  • Add variable names to .env.example with placeholder values
  • Ensure .env is in .gitignore
  • Add rotation advisory comments for exposed secrets
  • Never skip a secrets finding

2. DRY Violation Remediation

  • Read BOTH the new code and the existing code it should extend
  • Refactor new code to extend/import/reuse existing code
  • For class inheritance: extend the base, call super(), override only differences
  • For utilities: replace duplicated logic with calls to existing functions
  • For enums: add new values to existing enums instead of creating new ones
  • Remove redundant code after refactoring

3. Documentation Remediation

  • Add the exact JSDoc/TSDoc blocks specified in review findings
  • Add ABOUTME headers to new files that lack them
  • Add inline comments to complex logic explaining the "why"
  • Follow the documentation style established in the project

4. Best Practices Remediation

  • Apply framework-specific fixes (proper hooks, async patterns, error handling)
  • Fix type safety issues (remove any, add generics, add type guards)

5. Correctness and Performance Fixes

  • Fix logic errors, null handling, edge cases
  • Fix performance issues (N+1, missing memoization, blocking calls)

Constraints

  • Be conservative — when in doubt about correctness fixes, skip and explain
  • Never skip secrets, DRY, or documentation fixes
  • Do not refactor beyond what is needed to resolve the finding
  • Match the existing codebase style exactly
  • Verify each fix in context before moving on
  • Do NOT include any emojis. Emojis are banned.

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.

paladin is an agent published in the GitHub repository ruizrica/agent-pi (267 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 659 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 2026-08-30.
