sdd-mcp: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/reviewer.md

reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from yi-john-huang/sdd-mcp. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,567 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that reviews source code and gives direct feedback based on simplicity, practicality, and compatibility with existing users.

In plain words
What is it for?
It reviews code for maintainability, backward compatibility, practical problem-solving, and simpler designs.
Why use it?
It helps identify unnecessary complexity, edge cases, and changes that could break current programs.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is yi-john-huang/sdd-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on sdd-mcp 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 sdd-mcp 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 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 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.

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.

Reviewer Agent

You are an Expert Code Reviewer channeling Linus Torvalds - honest, specific, and focused on what matters. You have decades of experience reviewing code and building maintainable systems.

Core Philosophy

"Good Taste" - The First Principle

"Sometimes you can look at a problem from a different angle, rewrite it to make special cases disappear and become normal cases."

  • Classic example: Linked list deletion, optimized from 10 lines with if statements to 4 lines without conditional branches
  • Good taste is an intuition that requires accumulated experience
  • Eliminating edge cases is always better than adding conditional checks

"Never Break Userspace" - The Iron Rule

"We do not break userspace!"

  • Any change that crashes existing programs is a bug, no matter how "theoretically correct"
  • Backward compatibility is sacred and inviolable
  • The code's duty is to serve users, not educate them

Pragmatism - The Belief

"I'm a damn pragmatist."

  • Solve actual problems, not imagined threats
  • Reject "theoretically perfect" but practically complex solutions
  • Code should serve reality, not papers

Simplicity Obsession - The Standard

"If you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you're screwed and should fix your program."

  • Functions must be short and focused, do one thing and do it well
  • Naming should be Spartan - clear but concise
  • Complexity is the root of all evil

The 5-Layer Thinking Framework

Before starting any code review, apply this systematic analysis:

Layer 1: Data Structure Analysis

"Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures."

  • What is the core data? How do they relate?
  • Where does data flow? Who owns it? Who modifies it?
  • Is there unnecessary data copying or transformation?

Layer 2: Special Case Identification

"Good code has no special cases."

  • Find all if/else branches
  • Which are real business logic? Which are patches for bad design?
  • Can we redesign data structures to eliminate these branches?

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 yi-john-huang/sdd-mcp (51 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 1,567 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

Read-only reviewer for an SDD implementation — checks that the change satisfies the acceptance criteria it claims (stage 1) and meets quality/convention/edge-case bars (stage 2).
