review-process

review-process is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 0xranx/agentbrief. It costs 12 tokens per session (348 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step method for reviewing code changes, usually in a pull request. It covers understanding the context, checking the overall design, examining the data flow, reviewing tests, and summarising findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a proposed change from its description and file list through detailed code and test checks. It helps organise findings by severity and decide whether to approve or request changes.
Why use it?
It gives reviewers a repeatable way to find correctness, design, testing, error-handling, and security problems. It also helps keep feedback focused on important issues.

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-process 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Code Review Process

Step-by-Step Review Workflow

1. Understand Context

  • Read the PR description and linked issues
  • Understand what problem is being solved and why
  • Check if the approach was discussed beforehand (design doc, RFC, issue thread)

2. High-Level Pass

  • Look at the file list -- does the scope make sense for the stated goal?
  • Check for unrelated changes mixed in (should be separate PRs)
  • Review the overall architecture: does the approach fit the codebase patterns?

3. Detailed Review

  • Walk through the code in logical order (not file order)
  • Start from the entry point and follow the data flow
  • For each change, evaluate against the review dimensions (correctness, architecture, naming, tests, errors, security)
  • Note findings with severity, location, issue, and suggestion

4. Test Review

  • Are the right things being tested?
  • Do tests cover both happy path and error paths?
  • Are tests testing behavior (what), not implementation (how)?
  • Would the tests catch a regression if someone changed the implementation?

5. Synthesize Feedback

  • Group findings by severity
  • Lead with critical issues
  • Provide an overall summary: approve, request changes, or comment
  • If requesting changes, be clear about what is blocking vs. what is optional

6. Follow-Up

  • Re-review addressed feedback promptly
  • Verify fixes actually resolve the issue (not just superficially)
  • Approve once blocking issues are resolved -- do not add new non-blocking feedback on re-review

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.
