octo-review

octo-review is a command for Claude Code, Cursor from nyldn/claude-octopus. It costs 18 tokens per session (3,014 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A code-review command that asks multiple AI providers to inspect changes and can add comments directly to a pull request, a place where proposed code changes are reviewed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for enhanced pull-request reviews when you want provider diversity, adversarial checking, or stricter escalation.
Why use it?
It provides different AI perspectives and a stricter cross-check than a review from one model.

About the project

Claude Octopus is an orchestration project that sends research, design, and coding tasks to Claude Code and other AI model providers so their results can be compared. Developers use it for multi-model work, disagreement detection, reviews, persistent context, and an optional workflow that moves from discovery through delivery. The catalogue entries are its commands, skills, agents, instructions, hooks, plugins, and settings.

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 B, and why

octo-review scanned grade B with 2 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 4d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 256 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/octo:review

Load skills/blocks/engineering-method-selection.md from the installed plugin and apply only the methods relevant to this task. Preserve this entry point's execution contract and output format. Read referenced skills as instructions; do not invoke the current command recursively or add provider calls from a seat.

MANDATORY COMPLIANCE — DO NOT SKIP

When the user explicitly invokes /octo:review, you MUST execute the enhanced multi-provider review workflow below. You are PROHIBITED from substituting Claude-native /review, direct reading, or a single-model review unless the user changes commands.

Positioning

Three review entry points coexist in Claude Code v2.1.111+ — pick the right one per context:

Command Scope Providers When
Claude-native /review Single-turn, current diff Claude only Ordinary review, one perspective suffices
/ultrareview (CC v2.1.111+) Cloud, parallel multi-agent Claude parallelism Pre-merge PR review without leaving CC
/octo:review (this) Multi-LLM, inline PR comments Claude + available providers Provider diversity, adversarial cross-check, stricter escalation

Use /octo:review when the user explicitly wants enhanced multi-LLM review, multiple model opinions, provider diversity, or stricter escalation workflows. If CC v2.1.111+ and the user just says "review this", prefer /ultrareview unless provider diversity is specifically requested.

When the user invokes this command (e.g., /octo:review <arguments>):

MANDATORY: Before displaying the banner or starting the review, use the Bash tool to check provider availability:

echo "PROVIDER_CHECK_START"
printf "codex:%s\n" "$(command -v codex >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo available || echo missing)"
printf "agy:%s\n" "$(command -v agy >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo available || echo missing)"
printf "perplexity:%s\n" "$([ -n "${PERPLEXITY_API_KEY:-}" ] && echo available || echo missing)"
printf "opencode:%s\n" "$(command -v opencode >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo available || echo missing)"
printf "copilot:%s\n" "$(command -v copilot >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo available || echo missing)"
printf "qwen:%s\n" "$(command -v qwen >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo available || echo missing)"
printf "ollama:%s\n" "$(command -v ollama >/dev/null 2>&1 && curl -sf http://localhost:11434/api/tags >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo available || echo missing)"
printf "openrouter:%s\n" "$([ -n "${OPENROUTER_API_KEY:-}" ] && echo available || echo missing)"
echo "PROVIDER_CHECK_END"

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.
