modernize-review

modernize-review is a command for Claude Code from thevibeworks/claude-code-docs. It costs 20 tokens per session (867 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of modernize-review, MIT.

A review command asks a person to confirm business rules that require human judgement and records the answers. Business rules are the decisions an application must follow, such as whether a limit is intentional or a defect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review selected rules, answer questions in a pop-up, and provide decisions that later planning and building steps can follow.
Why use it?
It prevents an automated plan or implementation from treating uncertain or outdated policy as fact.

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

modernize-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 19d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 36 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ask a person to decide the business rules in analysis/$system/BUSINESS_RULES.md that depend on judgement, and record each answer so the plan and the build honor it. Agents mined the rules and a second agent checked every citation, but only someone who knows the business can say whether a rule is right: whether a truncation is intended or a defect, whether a threshold is still the policy. This command asks in a pop-up and never edits BUSINESS_RULES.md.

1 — Choose the rules

Read BUSINESS_RULES.md (each card has ### RULE-NNN, Priority, Confidence, and sometimes a suspected defect or an SME question) and, if it exists, analysis/$system/RULE_REVIEWS.json; rules already decided are skipped, and you say how many. $scope picks the rest:

  • flagged (the default): P0 rules that have a suspected defect, an SME question or less than High confidence, plus any rule the brief's open questions name.
  • p0: every P0 rule. all: every rule.

Say how many rules will be asked (about a minute per ten). If none is left, say so and give the next command.

2 — Ask

Use the AskUserQuestion tool, never chat text, up to four rules per call. One question per rule: its id as the header; the title, the plain-English statement, its Given/When/Then in one line, the cited lines (file:line) and the suspected defect or SME question if it has one as the question; and three options: Right (the rule is correct and wanted), Wrong, or not wanted (it misdescribes the code, or the code does this today but should not), Not sure (needs a discussion). The person can type a note instead of choosing: what is right, or the question that needs answering. Keep it, in their words. Stop when they say to. Verdicts the person already typed in the request (RULE-004 wrong: it truncates on purpose) are recorded as given, with no pop-up for those rules. Without the tool and without typed verdicts (a headless run) do not guess: leave every rule unreviewed and say so.

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.
