speckit.spex-gates.review-code

speckit.spex-gates.review-code is a command for Claude Code from rhuss/cc-spex. It costs 11 tokens per session (3,213 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A code-review command that checks an implementation against its written specification and records differences. A specification is the agreed description of what the software should do.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review completed work for specification compliance, track deviations, and identify when the specification may need updating.
Why use it?
It helps reveal missing or changed requirements before code is shipped and can participate in an automated delivery process.

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

speckit.spex-gates.review-code 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 8d 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.

Code Review Against Specification

Ship Pipeline Guard

If .specify/.spex-state exists and its status is running, this command is part of an autonomous pipeline. Check the ask field:

  • If ask is "smart" or "never": suppress all user prompts (do NOT prompt the user interactively), complete the review autonomously, and return immediately so the pipeline can advance.
  • If ask is "always": prompt the user as normal.
if [ -f ".specify/.spex-state" ]; then
  STATUS=$(jq -r '.status // empty' .specify/.spex-state 2>/dev/null)
  ASK=$(jq -r '.ask // "always"' .specify/.spex-state 2>/dev/null)
  if [ "$STATUS" = "running" ] && [ "$ASK" != "always" ]; then
    echo "AUTONOMOUS_MODE=true"
  else
    echo "AUTONOMOUS_MODE=false"
  fi
else
  echo "AUTONOMOUS_MODE=false"
fi

In autonomous mode: do NOT output a completion summary, do NOT ask "Shall I proceed?", do NOT suggest next steps. Complete the review and return.

Flow Status Update (before review starts)

If review-code is running, implementation is by definition done. Mark it immediately so the status line shows impl ✓ during the review:

FLOW_STATE=".specify/extensions/spex-gates/scripts/spex-flow-state.sh" && [ -x "$FLOW_STATE" ] && "$FLOW_STATE" implemented && "$FLOW_STATE" running review-code

IMPORTANT: Deep Review Extension Check

Before starting any review work, check if the spex-deep-review extension is enabled:

# Check via extensions registry
jq -r '.extensions["spex-deep-review"].enabled // false' .specify/extensions/.registry 2>/dev/null

If deep review is enabled, this command MUST invoke speckit.spex-deep-review.run after spec compliance passes (>= 95%). Do NOT produce only a basic compliance review when deep-review is active. The deep review dispatches 5 specialized agents, runs a fix loop, and generates a Deep Review Report. See step 9a below for details.

Overview

Review code implementation against specification to ensure compliance.

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.
