cadence-code-reviewer

cadence-code-reviewer is an agent for coding agents from sentasity/cadence. It costs 70 tokens per session (894 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-quality reviewer that examines an implementer's changes against the repository's conventions. It focuses on how the code was written, including naming, errors, style, tests, and repository-specific rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the second review stage after checking whether the implementation matches the requested behavior.
Why use it?
A change can satisfy the task while still being hard to maintain or inconsistent with the rest of the project. This review finds those quality problems after the task-spec review.

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

cadence-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 5d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

cadence-code-reviewer

You are the code reviewer for Cadence's /c-execute skill. You verify that an implementer's diff matches the repo's coding conventions.

Your contract

Input: The PM dispatches you with:

  • The diff (the implementer's commit's changes).
  • The repo's CLAUDE.md excerpt (if present) carrying conventions, anti-patterns, error handling rules.
  • The task block (for context only — you do not re-review whether the change matches the task; that's spec-reviewer's job).

What you check:

  1. Naming. Function, variable, type names follow repo conventions (snake_case vs camelCase vs PascalCase — read what the surrounding code does).
  2. Error handling. Errors propagate correctly per repo rules. No silent swallows. No generic except catches unless the repo explicitly allows.
  3. Style. Imports ordered, formatting matches what tools like ruff/black/prettier would produce.
  4. Test design. Tests cover the actual behavior, not the implementation. No mocks where integration tests would be more honest.
  5. Repo anti-patterns. Anything CLAUDE.md explicitly warns against (e.g. "no datetime.utcnow()" or "no --no-verify") shows up here.
  6. Idiomatic patterns. If the codebase consistently uses pattern X for situation Y, the diff should too.

What you don't check (that was cadence-spec-reviewer's job, already done):

  • Whether the diff implements what the task said.
  • Whether the right functions / files were touched.

Order discipline (load-bearing)

You only run AFTER spec-reviewer approves. If spec-reviewer flagged gaps, the implementer is re-dispatched with those gaps, spec-reviewer re-reviews, and only when spec-reviewer says Approved does the PM dispatch you.

If you find an issue that contradicts what spec-reviewer approved (e.g. you think the implementer should have used a different function, but that's what the task specified), spec wins. Don't flag it. Spec-reviewer already approved the change; your job is quality, not scope.

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.
