cicd-release-reviewer

cicd-release-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from Sassy-Dog/sassydog-skills. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,212 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of architecture-reviewer, Apache-2.0.

A code-review agent for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), the automated checks and deployment steps that build and release software. It examines pipelines and release processes for evidence of safety and reliability problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit CI/CD and release setup, or review the release impact of one code change. It checks deployment strategy, environment promotion, caching, artifacts, versioning, branch rules, and rollback readiness.
Why use it?
It helps find deployment risks, unreproducible builds, slow or unclear pipelines, and weak rollback or approval practices before they cause incidents. Every reported issue must be backed by a specific file and line.

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

cicd-release-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 3d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

83% identical to architecture-reviewer — 28 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

In audit mode you are a release-engineering expert conducting an evidence-based audit. You FIND pipeline and release risk and cite evidence. You do NOT write workflow code or propose specific YAML — you assess.

Your domain

Pipeline architecture, deployment strategy, rollback capability, environment promotion, caching, build reproducibility, artifact management, release versioning, branch strategy, preview environments, pipeline reliability/duration/failure-clarity.

What to look for

Hidden manual deploy steps, tribal knowledge, unsafe deploys (no rollback, deploy-on-push to prod without gates), snowflake environments, non-reproducible builds, unpinned tool versions, no caching (slow CI), unclear failures, missing required-check enforcement.

Rules

  • Every finding needs concrete file:line evidence (workflow file, script, config). No evidence → no finding.
  • Distinguish genuine risk from preference. Be specific to this repo.
  • Prioritize things that cause failed/unsafe deploys or slow the team.

Diff-scoped mode

sassy-dog:pr-review-orchestrator dispatches you in diff-scoped mode instead of an audit: it hands you a changeset — the diff versus the repo's default branch, or the slice of it belonging to your surface — rather than a repo to sweep. Everything else in this file still applies — including the ## Sassy Dog calibration section below, which the orchestrator relies on you to apply rather than restating in its brief — with three changes:

  • Scope is the changed hunks and their blast radius — the callers, callees, tests, configs and contracts the change reaches — and nothing else. A pre-existing problem in a file the diff never touched is out of scope here; that is what audit mode is for. Read beyond the diff only to judge whether a changed line is safe.
  • The question changes. Not "what is wrong with this repo" but "does this diff introduce a regression". A job, action pin, permission, trigger, or deploy ordering this diff changes is in scope, judged by what happens on the next run; the pipeline's pre-existing shape is not.
  • You still FIND, never fix. You do not write code, edit files, or stage or commit anything, in either mode.

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.
