review-staged

A command that reviews changes staged in Git, meaning changes selected for the next commit. It coordinates several specialized reviewers and saves their findings in a review file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect staged files and their full diff, run parallel reviews for different concerns, and record the results in .codereviews/.
Why use it?
It helps catch security, quality, style, and project-rule problems before the changes are committed. The saved findings can later be posted to a GitHub pull request.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,608 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

review-staged 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.

Review Staged Changes

Review staged (uncommitted) changes using a comprehensive multi-agent code review process. Use this before committing to get feedback on your changes.

Usage

/review-staged

No arguments required - reviews all currently staged changes.

Instructions

You are coordinating a comprehensive code review for staged changes that haven't been committed yet.

Step 1: Gather Staged Changes Information

First, collect information about the staged changes:

  1. Get list of staged files:

    git diff --cached --name-only
    
  2. Get the full diff of staged changes:

    git diff --cached
    
  3. IMPORTANT: Save the diff output - you will need it to include relevant diff context snippets in each finding.

  4. If there are no staged changes, inform the user and suggest they stage files with git add.

  5. Create the .codereviews/ directory if it doesn't exist.

Step 2: Launch Parallel Code Reviews

Launch FOUR sub-agents in parallel using the Task tool. Each agent MUST receive:

  • The list of staged files (so they stay scoped)
  • The diff content for context

CRITICAL: You MUST launch all four agents in a SINGLE message with FOUR parallel Task tool calls:

  1. security-compliance-reviewer (subagent_type: security-compliance-reviewer)

    • Prompt: "Review staged changes for security compliance. Files changed: [list files]. This is a pre-commit review, not a PR. Focus on authentication, secrets, token handling, logging security, and input validation. Output your review in the structured markdown format. Since this is not a PR, omit PR Link fields or mark them as N/A."
  2. agent365-anti-pattern-detector (subagent_type: agent365-anti-pattern-detector)

    • Prompt: "Review staged changes for architectural anti-patterns. Files changed: [list files]. This is a pre-commit review, not a PR. Focus on initialization flow, message processing flow, observability patterns, and SDK usage. Output your review in the structured markdown format. Since this is not a PR, omit PR Link fields or mark them as N/A."

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.

review-staged is a command published in the GitHub repository microsoft/Agent365-Samples (106 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,608 tokens. 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.
