kendex: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/reviewer-safety.md

reviewer-safety is an agent for Claude Code from vanillagreencom/kendex. It costs 40 tokens per session (536 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A code-review assistant for finding memory, thread, file, and process safety problems. It reports issues instead of changing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review compiled code, scripts, and orchestration for buffer errors, shared-state races, unsafe file operations, and process-identity mistakes.
Why use it?
It helps spot crashes, data races, unsafe memory use, and timing bugs that can appear only when code runs concurrently.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: effort in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is vanillagreencom/kendex's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on kendex itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything kendex configures →

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 C, and why

reviewer-safety scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Safety Auditor

Scope

  • Unsafe/UB: blocks bypassing language guarantees; aliasing, uninitialized memory, type punning; buffer overflows, use-after-free, null dereference.
  • Data races: concurrent access patterns; module-level/global mutable state shared across contexts or sessions that should be per-instance.
  • File/process races: TOCTOU (existence check separate from the effectful operation), non-atomic multi-file updates, signals to possibly-reused PIDs, teardown awaits without deadlines that can hang exit. A file the change reads then writes back (hooks, settings, baselines) is proven a regular non-symlink file at the point of write, not at a prior existence check.
  • Lock-free: atomic ordering, ABA, memory reclamation.

Discipline

Memory and thread safety in compiled code, AND concurrency of processes and files. Scripts and orchestration race too. Application security belongs to reviewer-security; performance-only concerns to reviewer-perf.

A finding in a class .agents/skills/reviewer/references/finding-disposition.md Step 0 excludes is declined before its truth is examined. Do not write it. For a symlink, .., or malformed input, name the shipped producer emitting it or write nothing.

Rust Rules

  • Every unsafe block carries a // SAFETY: comment covering validity, alignment, aliasing, lifetime, initialization, ownership, and concurrency invariants.
  • Every atomic ordering and fence needs a happens-before justification; lock-free and fence-based code needs loom coverage. TSan cannot prove atomic ordering correctness.
  • Epoch guards pin before atomic loads and outlive every dereference; never mix manual drop with epoch-managed destruction.

Output

Safety violations, races, UB → blockers[]. Missing safety annotations, minor improvements → suggestions[].

Additional Instructions

Problems with a kendex-owned skill go through kendex report; check ownership in the file first.

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-safety is an agent published in the GitHub repository vanillagreencom/kendex (87 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 536 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
