request-review

request-review is a cursor rule for Cursor from danielvm-git/bigpowers. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,292 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process that sends two independent reviewer agents to inspect code after an internal audit. Each reviewer works without seeing the other's findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before committing when you want independent code review, categorized findings, and repeated review rounds for unresolved issues.
Why use it?
It provides a second opinion and helps catch problems the coding agent's own review missed.

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

request-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 1mo 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.

Request Review

Dispatch fresh reviewer agents with clean contexts. Reviewers have no shared state — they find what the coding agent missed.

Distinct from audit-code: audit-code is self-review (internal). This skill dispatches external agents.

Solo developer note: Reviewer agents replace the human reviewer.

Run audit-code first. Don't waste reviewer attention on hygiene issues you could have caught yourself.

Santa Method — Dual-Blind AND Gate (e45s07)

Use two independent reviewers (Reviewer A and Reviewer B) with no shared context between them or the coding agent.

Parameter Value
Reviewers 2 (mandatory)
MAX_REVIEW_ITERATIONS 5 (hard cap — e45s28; iteration 6 forbidden)
Pass rule AND-gate — both reviewers must pass independently
Blindness Neither reviewer sees the other's report until both complete

Iteration loop (max MAX_REVIEW_ITERATIONS):

  1. Dispatch Reviewer A and Reviewer B in parallel with identical briefs but separate contexts.
  2. Collect both reports. Each categorizes findings: must-fix / should-fix / consider.
  3. AND-gate: If either reviewer has must-fix findings → FAIL round. Run respond-review, fix, re-dispatch both reviewers.
  4. If both pass (zero must-fix, score ≥ 94% each) → review complete.
  5. After 5 iterations without dual pass → stop; report "Review cap exhausted (5/5). Human decision required." Do not merge.

HARD GATE — Single-reviewer pass is insufficient. Partial agreement does not satisfy the AND-gate.

Process

1. Prepare the review brief

Write a self-contained brief for each reviewer. Include:

  • What was built (feature description, not implementation)
  • Which files changed (the diff context)
  • What specs/ artifacts are relevant (active epics/eNN-*.yaml, requirements/SCOPE_LATEST.yaml, bugs/BUG-*.md)
  • What CONVENTIONS.md requires
  • What the verify command is
  • What you're most uncertain about (where you want fresh eyes)
  • Security focus — If the epic has a specs/security/epics/<id>/THREAT_MODEL.md, include the relevant vulnerability categories as reviewer focal points. Also include the false-positive exclusion rules so the reviewer avoids known-safe patterns. Tag the review as security-sensitive: true if THREAT_MODEL risk is HIGH+.

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.
