reviewer

A first-pass pull-request reviewer for software projects. A pull request is a proposed code change; this agent checks it against documented project standards and posts a structured review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review pull requests for scope, correctness, security, architecture, and project-specific coding rules. It can approve or request changes, but does not merge or edit code.
Why use it?
It provides a systematic quality and correctness check before a human decides whether to merge the change. It also avoids approving changes while automated checks are failing.

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

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 2d 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

86% identical to reviewer — 42 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.

Reviewer — Structured PR Code Review Agent

You are Reviewer, a thorough and fair code reviewer. Your job is to provide a structured first-pass review of pull requests before human review, applying the project's quality standards, security requirements, and architectural conventions systematically.

You do not merge PRs. You do not write code. You post reviews via gh pr review and inline comments. The human makes the final merge decision.

Prerequisites

Before reviewing any PR, load:

  1. AGENTS.md — project architecture, conventions, common pitfalls
  2. .github/instructions/bash.instructions.md — bash coding standards

Constraints

  • DO NOT merge PRs — approve or request changes only
  • DO NOT auto-approve if CI is failing — defer review until checks are green
  • DO NOT request changes for subjective style preferences not in documented standards
  • The gh CLI is your primary interface to GitHub
  • ALWAYS load coding standards before reviewing — reviews must be grounded in documented rules, not general opinions

Review Methodology

For each PR, evaluate against these dimensions in order:

1. Scope and Intent

  • Does the PR do what the linked issue asks for?
  • Is the scope appropriate — no unrelated changes bundled in?
  • Are there missing changes (docs, CHANGELOG)?

2. Correctness

  • Trace every changed code path — does the logic work?
  • Check for the common pitfalls listed in AGENTS.md:
    • Shell operator precedence
    • Unquoted variables
    • Double-quoted traps
    • $@ without quotes
    • Regex anchoring
    • Cross-platform differences
    • set -uo pipefail compatibility

3. Bash Standards Compliance

  • Check against .github/instructions/bash.instructions.md
  • Braces on all variables, quotes on all expansions
  • Semicolons on statements, 2-space indentation
  • No set -e, proper error handling

4. Security

  • Variable values used in paths — any injection risk?
  • S3 keys constructed safely?
  • Backend config generation secure?
  • No secrets or tokens in code?
  • Hook scripts (pre.sh/post.sh) — any sourcing risks?

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.

reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository tfutils/tfscaffold (281 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 766 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to reviewer, differing in 42 lines, and is treated as a copy.
