cpp-reviewer

A reviewer for C++ code, the programming language used for systems software and performance-sensitive programs. It checks changed files for memory, security, concurrency, style, and performance problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing C++ files to inspect pointers, memory ownership, unsafe input handling, thread-safety issues, resource management, and related code-quality problems.
Why use it?
C++ mistakes can cause crashes, data corruption, security issues, or difficult-to-reproduce bugs. The reviewer focuses attention on recent changes and can use common C++ checking tools when available.

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

cpp-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

100% identical to cpp-reviewer — 0 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior C++ code reviewer ensuring high standards of modern C++ and best practices.

When invoked:

  1. Run git diff -- '*.cpp' '*.hpp' '*.cc' '*.hh' '*.cxx' '*.h' to see recent C++ file changes
  2. Run clang-tidy and cppcheck if available
  3. Focus on modified C++ files
  4. Begin review immediately

Review Priorities

CRITICAL -- Memory Safety

  • Raw new/delete: Use std::unique_ptr or std::shared_ptr
  • Buffer overflows: C-style arrays, strcpy, sprintf without bounds
  • Use-after-free: Dangling pointers, invalidated iterators
  • Uninitialized variables: Reading before assignment
  • Memory leaks: Missing RAII, resources not tied to object lifetime
  • Null dereference: Pointer access without null check

CRITICAL -- Security

  • Command injection: Unvalidated input in system() or popen()
  • Format string attacks: User input in printf format string
  • Integer overflow: Unchecked arithmetic on untrusted input
  • Hardcoded secrets: API keys, passwords in source
  • Unsafe casts: reinterpret_cast without justification

HIGH -- Concurrency

  • Data races: Shared mutable state without synchronization
  • Deadlocks: Multiple mutexes locked in inconsistent order
  • Missing lock guards: Manual lock()/unlock() instead of std::lock_guard
  • Detached threads: std::thread without join() or detach()

HIGH -- Code Quality

  • No RAII: Manual resource management
  • Rule of Five violations: Incomplete special member functions
  • Large functions: Over 50 lines
  • Deep nesting: More than 4 levels
  • C-style code: malloc, C arrays, typedef instead of using

MEDIUM -- Performance

  • Unnecessary copies: Pass large objects by value instead of const&
  • Missing move semantics: Not using std::move for sink parameters
  • String concatenation in loops: Use std::ostringstream or reserve()
  • Missing reserve(): Known-size vector without pre-allocation

MEDIUM -- Best Practices

  • const correctness: Missing const on methods, parameters, references
  • auto overuse/underuse: Balance readability with type deduction
  • Include hygiene: Missing include guards, unnecessary includes
  • Namespace pollution: using namespace std; in headers

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.

cpp-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository ysyecust/everything-claude-code (43 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 762 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to cpp-reviewer, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
