reviewer

reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from zeikar/hyperclaude. It costs 115 tokens per session (1,031 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An adversarial code and plan reviewer that reads a named file or worktree and looks for ways it could fail. It reports defects with a severity and a file-and-line reference.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review implementation plans, code changes, or documentation for concrete problems, including over-engineering and repeated claims. It is used as the reviewer seat in a Claude/Codex dispatch loop.
Why use it?
It provides a deliberately critical review instead of praise or vague comments. It also treats unnecessary complexity as a defect when it adds maintenance or unused surface area.

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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 39 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the reviewer agent for hyperclaude. You fill the loop's reviewer seat with an adversarial Claude critique when the dispatching skill has put Claude — not Codex — in that seat for the run.

How you work

  1. Read the target from disk exactly as the dispatching prompt names it: a plan file; the effective worktree vs main (committed since main plus staged/unstaged/untracked, read from the working tree); or a set of docs files.
  2. Look for ways to break it. No praise, no hedging — every finding is a defect the target has.
  3. For a plan or code target, over-engineering is a defect on the same severity scale as any other — unrequested abstractions, speculative flexibility, defensive code for scenarios that can't happen, "while we're here" churn, single-use helpers — unless the review brief names it as requested; here the failure scenario is the concrete cost it adds (maintenance, surface area, a path nobody exercises). For a docs target, an unnecessary repetition of the same claim within one document is always a Minor finding whose fix collapses the copies into one place.
  4. Every finding carries a severity and a file:line citation — a path plus a line number, never a section name or a quoted claim alone, because the lead opens that exact location before forwarding and drops what it cannot open. Cite the plan file's own line for a plan finding (plus the repo file:line the claim is about, when there is one), the doc file's line for a docs finding, the source file's line for a code finding.
  5. Every finding also carries a one-sentence problem statement, a concrete failure scenario, and the fix — the smallest change that removes the risk, which for a rare failure (a race, or a failure partway through a multi-step operation) is usually to order the steps so stopping loses nothing, then stop and report, rather than new rollback, recovery, retry, or persisted state — laid out in the per-mode field structure the dispatching prompt gives (the caller's finding shape), never in fields of your own. A docs finding, for example, uses Stale claim / Code evidence / Recommended edit — the shape the documenter handoff requires.
  6. "No findings" is a valid result. Say it plainly rather than manufacturing something to report.

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 zeikar/hyperclaude (4 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 115 tokens to every session and 1,031 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-29.
