critique

A command that checks whether a coding plan was fully implemented. It compares the finished code with the plan's tasks, acceptance criteria, required files, and validation commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementing a plan to verify that every task was completed, expected files changed, structural additions exist where required, and the specified tests or builds were run.
Why use it?
It finds missing work that a general code review may overlook. The focus is completeness against the plan, rather than code quality or style.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 13 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 654 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

critique 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.

Critique (Step 7)

Plan: $ARGUMENTS

Verify the plan was fully and correctly implemented. This is NOT a code review (that's /review-pr) — this checks completeness against the plan's specification.

Phase 1: Load Plan

Read the plan and extract:

  • Tasks — every task listed
  • Acceptance Criteria — every checkbox
  • Files to Change — every CREATE/UPDATE entry
  • Validation commands — test/build commands specified

Phase 2: Task Verification

For each task in the plan:

2.1 File exists / was modified

  • CREATE tasks: verify the file exists
  • UPDATE tasks: verify the file was modified (check git diff)

2.2 Implementation matches spec

  • Read the file and verify the task's requirements are met
  • Check that the specified patterns were followed
  • Verify the "Implement" bullet points are all addressed

2.3 Codegraph structural verification (where applicable)

If the plan added new classes, functions, endpoints, or edges:

.venv/bin/codegraph query "MATCH (c:Class {name:'<expected>'}) RETURN c.name, c.file"
.venv/bin/codegraph query "MATCH (e:Endpoint) WHERE e.path = '<expected>' RETURN e.method, e.path"

Run /graph-refresh first if needed to ensure the graph reflects current code.

Phase 3: Acceptance Criteria

For each acceptance criterion in the plan:

  • Check if it's met by examining the code, tests, or running verification commands
  • Mark PASS or FAIL with evidence

Phase 4: Test Verification

cd codegraph
.venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/ -q       # all tests pass
python -m compileall codegraph/ -q          # byte-compile clean

Verify:

  • New tests were written for new code
  • Test count increased as expected
  • No warnings

Phase 5: Verdict

If ALL criteria pass:

Critique: PASS
--------------
Tasks: {N}/{N} verified
Acceptance criteria: {N}/{N} met
Tests: {N} passed ({M} new)

Ready for: /package

If ANY criteria fail:

Critique: FAIL
--------------
Tasks: {N}/{M} verified — {K} gaps
Acceptance criteria: {N}/{M} met

Gaps:
1. [TASK X] <what's missing>
2. [CRITERION Y] <what's not met>

Action: Run /implement to address the gaps, then /review-pr, /commit, and /critique again.

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.

critique is a command published in the GitHub repository cognitx-leyton/codegraph (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 654 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.
