reviewing-code is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alexei-led/cc-thingz. It costs 103 tokens per session (1,094 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review guide for examining changed files, pull requests, or diffs. It reports possible defects instead of editing the code.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

reviewing-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 16d 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 — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Code Review

Produce findings, not edits, for the requested diff, PR, changed files, or file list. Read references/severity-rubric.md before scoring or reporting: it owns the dimensions, severity, confidence, and score rules.

Load a language reference only when a finding needs language or framework semantics; do not read every reference merely because that language is in scope:

  • C#: references/csharp.md
  • Go: references/go.md
  • Java/Kotlin: references/java-kotlin.md
  • Python: references/python.md
  • Rust: references/rust.md
  • TypeScript: references/typescript.md
  • Web, HTML, CSS, JS, HTMX: references/web.md

Other languages: use the rubric alone; report reduced coverage if missing language guidance limits the review.

Scope

Use the scope the user named. Otherwise ask one question offering:

  • uncommitted changes
  • branch compared to the default branch
  • specific files or a PR diff

Use one git or PR command for the whole review. Without command access, work from the supplied diff and files, and ask for them if absent. No changes in scope: report Nothing to review.

Modes

Default is standard.

  • Quick: small, low-risk diffs. Security and correctness; changed lines plus direct context.
  • Standard: security, correctness, and tests; follow callers or callees when a finding needs them.
  • Deep: on request for a thorough, risk, or merge-safety review. All rubric dimensions, including boundary inputs and affected tests.
  • Team: on request for team, parallel, or multi-pass review, or offered for a large diff. Split by dimension or file group, then merge into one report: dedupe by file:line plus claim, keep the higher severity only when evidence supports it, and put disagreements under Needs review.
  • External: only when the user explicitly asks for an external, second-model, or second-opinion review. Keep private code local unless the bridge runs locally or the user approved sharing. Rate external output with the same rubric; claims you cannot verify go to Needs review. Report whether it completed, was unavailable, or was skipped and why.
  • Simplify: on request for an over-engineering or "what can we delete" review. Simplicity dimension only. Instead of the Output template, one line per finding: file:line — <tag> <what>. <replacement>., with tags delete, stdlib/native (name the replacement), yagni, shrink. End with net: -N lines possible. or Lean already. Ship.

What ships with it

9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
