re-review

re-review is a command for Claude Code from karsten-s-nielsen/mad-scientist-skills. It costs 20 tokens per session (456 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A second or later review of a revised artifact, such as code or a document.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for comparing the revised artifact with the prior reviewed version, verifying previous findings independently, and recording any remaining or newly introduced problems.
Why use it?
It checks that earlier fixes were really made and looks for regressions without reopening issues that were already settled.

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

re-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 12d 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.

What it actually says

Re-review a revised artifact.

Artifact: $ARGUMENTS

Use the unbiased-review skill. Read references/re-review.md first, then the reference for the artifact's type and references/output-contract.md.

Two jobs, one prohibition. Confirm the revisions were actually made; catch anything the revisions broke; do not re-litigate what the last round settled.

Start by reading the prior report in reviews/ in full — every finding ID, its severity, its Resolved when condition, the recorded HEAD and artifact sha256, and anything explicitly accepted or declined. Then compute what changed before judging anything. If the artifact is unversioned, try to recover the reviewed revision from loose git objects so the comparison is a real line-level diff rather than a section-level guess; if it cannot be recovered, say so and treat it as a limitation of the round.

Verify each prior finding from the tree with fresh evidence. Never accept the author's claim that they fixed it — independent confirmation is the entire point of the round. A fix that satisfies the letter of Resolved when but not the defect is PARTIAL; say which. If the condition could be met without fixing the problem, the condition was badly written, and that is worth reporting too, plainly and as your own error.

New findings are admissible only if they are in changed content, or a prior judgement whose basis the change invalidated. Anything else goes in a one-line Outside this round note.

Carry the settled ledger forward — resolved findings, accepted decisions, and declined CONSIDERs are closed. DECLINED is durable; re-raising it is a form of not listening.

End with the explicit regression line. If everything blocking is resolved and nothing new turned up, say APPROVE plainly — a round that manufactures a finding to justify itself is worse than one that says "ship it".

Changes

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.
