system-review

system-review is a command for Claude Code from coleam00/Archon. It costs 7 tokens per session (1,158 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process review command that compares the work an agent completed with the plan it was meant to follow. It looks at how the work was done, rather than checking the code for bugs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after an implementation to assess plan deviations, explain whether they were reasonable, and suggest improvements to project instructions, templates, or commands.
Why use it?
It helps identify unclear requirements, planning gaps, and repeated workflow problems. This makes future development work easier to plan and carry out.

About the project

Archon is a workflow engine for AI coding agents that turns development processes into YAML-defined sequences with phases, validation gates, and artifacts. Developers use it to run repeatable processes such as planning, implementation, testing, code review, and pull-request creation across projects. The catalogue entries provide commands, agents, skills, hooks, instructions, and settings for working with Archon.

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

system-review 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 6d 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.

System Review

Perform a meta-level analysis of how well the implementation followed the plan and identify process improvements.

Purpose

System review is NOT code review. You're not looking for bugs in the code - you're looking for bugs in the process.

Your job:

  • Analyze plan adherence and divergence patterns
  • Identify which divergences were justified vs problematic
  • Surface process improvements that prevent future issues
  • Suggest updates to Layer 1 assets (CLAUDE.md, plan templates, commands)

Philosophy:

  • Good divergence reveals plan limitations → improve planning
  • Bad divergence reveals unclear requirements → improve communication
  • Repeated issues reveal missing automation → create commands

Context & Inputs

You will analyze four key artifacts:

Plan Command: Read this to understand the planning process: .claude/commands/plan-feature.md

Generated Plan: Read this to understand what the agent was SUPPOSED to do: Plan file: $1

Execute Command: Read this to understand the execution process: .claude/commands/execute.md

Execution Report: Read this to understand what the agent ACTUALLY did and why: Execution report: $2

Analysis Workflow

Step 1: Understand the Planned Approach

Read the generated plan ($1) and extract:

  • What features were planned?
  • What architecture was specified?
  • What validation steps were defined?
  • What patterns were referenced?

Step 2: Understand the Actual Implementation

Read the execution report ($2) and extract:

  • What was implemented?
  • What diverged from the plan?
  • What challenges were encountered?
  • What was skipped and why?

Step 3: Classify Each Divergence

For each divergence identified in the execution report, classify as:

Good Divergence ✅ (Justified):

  • Plan assumed something that didn't exist in the codebase
  • Better pattern discovered during implementation
  • Performance optimization needed
  • Security issue discovered that required different approach

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.
