plumber-review

plumber-review is a skill for Claude Code from akshatnerella/plumber. It costs 25 tokens per session (307 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review skill focused on patchwork: changes that hide a design problem, add unnecessary complexity, or handle impossible errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review diffs for unnecessary guards, needless retries, complexity added to fight complexity, and opportunities to simplify code.
Why use it?
It helps reviewers find root causes instead of accepting layers of fixes around a flawed design.

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

plumber-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 10d 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

Review code changes for patchwork only, not correctness. One line per finding.

Format

L<line>: <tag> <what is patched>. <redesign>.

Tags:

  • patch: fix covering a design flaw. Name the flaw.
  • complexity: code added to fight existing complexity. Name the root.
  • phantom: error handling for a scenario that shouldn't exist.
  • shrink: same logic, genuinely simpler structure. Show the simpler form.

Examples

L22-45: patch: null guard hiding upstream caller passing wrong type. Fix the caller.

L8: phantom: try/catch around code that can't throw. Remove.

L31-60: complexity: retry logic working around a non-idempotent API. Make the API idempotent.

L14-28: shrink: manual recursion reimplementing reduce. sum(items), 1 line.

Scoring

End with: root causes addressable: <N>.

If nothing to fix: Clean pipes. Ship.

Boundaries

Scope: patchwork and complexity only. Correctness bugs and security are out of scope. Lists findings, applies nothing. One-shot.

Changes

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.
