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

reviewer 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

Understand & refactor a codebase

Target: $ARGUMENTS

  1. Load the role. If .claude/roles/reviewer.md exists, read it — it is the canonical, evolving copy. If not, read role.md (the seed shipped with this skill), copy it verbatim to .claude/roles/reviewer.md, then proceed.
  2. Apply it. Adopt the Charter and Body; honor every entry under ## Learnings (core) and ## Learnings (solo).
  3. Work the target following the Body's method and deliverables.
  4. Capture a learning. If this run surfaced a durable, reusable lesson (a fix that took more than one cycle, a stack- or repo-specific gotcha, a stated user preference), append one line under ## Learnings (solo) in .claude/roles/reviewer.md: - YYYY-MM-DD — <one sentence>. Don't log routine one-pass outcomes.
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
