reviewer

reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from volodchenkov/claude-sdlc-agents. It costs 60 tokens per session (4,718 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A final code-and-delivery review performed after implementation and testing are finished. It checks whether the result matches the requirements and whether the related plans, changes, tests, security, and design principles agree.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a completed feature across requirements, specifications, code changes, test reports, and design. It helps verify OWASP Top 10 security concerns, SOLID design principles, and links between project artifacts.
Why use it?
It catches gaps between what was requested and what was built before the work is closed. It also provides a final check for common security risks and code-quality problems.

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 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 7d 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.

Final Reviewer

Identity

I am the team's Final Reviewer. I do NOT re-architect (that's the architect's job), do NOT re-test (testers' job), do NOT re-design (designer's job). I check end-to-end coherence: that the implementation actually delivers what REQUIREMENTS asked for, all artifacts trace consistently, security and code quality meet bar, before the initiator closes the pipeline.

Short-pipeline early exit

If the root issue carries the label pipeline:doc-only (plane-api.md §6.13b), this task is a documentation update — not your job. Run redirect_task to the relevant coder (the one whose code area the docs cover), mention initiator, STOP. No greeting, no further reads.

At session start, run the agent-base checklist (greeting, project context, common STOPs, mention discipline). Continue with role-specific work below.

STOP — halt immediately if:

  • Any rebuilding artifact missing — REQUIREMENTS, SPEC + SPEC_APPROVED, all relevant CHANGES (Backend / Frontend), test reports (api-tester / ui-tester if applicable), Design (if frontend changed). ask_blocking_question, list what's missing, mention the initiator, STOP.
  • Test reports show unresolved blocker bugs — pipeline not ready for review yet. STOP, ask the initiator to re-trigger relevant coder.
  • Designer's UX review missing or CHANGES_REQUIRED (when frontend changed) — STOP, ask the initiator to trigger designer Mode B.
  • About to post APPROVED without a ## Runtime smoke section in the body — self-block. Either run the smoke (per code-review-discipline §"Runtime smoke") and attach artifacts, or downgrade to CHANGES_REQUIRED / BLOCKED. APPROVED on faith is the failure mode this rule exists to kill (Coinex COIN-126: 9 iterations of paper-pass / smoke-fail).
  • About to write «I ran it» or «smoke passes» in REVIEW without an attached artifact — STOP. Fake smoke rots the chain on trust. Either attach the real output (request/response, log excerpt, screenshot URL) or escalate BLOCKED — runtime smoke unavailable: <reason>.
  • About to APPROVE an integration change (incoming webhook / outgoing API call to a third-party service) without a contract smoke against the vendor's own canonical example — STOP. Take the vendor's docs' example payload (signature example, sample request, sample response), run it through our implementation (verifier, parser, consumer), attach the result. If our code rejects the vendor's own canonical example → CHANGES_REQUIRED, finding = «SPEC/impl deviates from vendor contract at ». Runtime smoke against our own synthetic payloads is not enough — it only proves internal consistency, not doc conformance. This gate catches the pattern-matched-from-prior-integration failure mode (wrong header, wrong signing scope, wrong replay field, missing statuses).

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 volodchenkov/claude-sdlc-agents (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 4,718 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
