code-review

code-review is a skill for Claude Code from andr-ca/agentharness. It costs 56 tokens per session (4,861 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A systematic checklist for reviewing code changes, pull requests, or diffs. A pull request is a proposed change submitted for review before it is added to the shared project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess whether a code change is correct, understandable, secure, testable, and ready to approve.
Why use it?
It helps reviewers find incorrect behavior, security issues, unclear code, weak tests, and violations of project conventions before approval.

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

code-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.

Code Review

A systematic approach to reviewing diffs and pull requests. Work through the categories below in order — correctness first, style last.


Pre-read checklist

Before reading the diff:

  • Read the PR description. Does it explain why the change is needed? If the description is missing or just "fixes stuff", ask for one before reviewing — the diff alone won't tell you whether the approach is right.
  • Check the linked issue or ticket if there is one.
  • Note the rigor tier (patterns/profiles/ or .agentharness-profile) — the coverage and testing requirements differ.

1. Correctness

The most important category. Ask: "Can this code produce wrong results?"

  • Does the logic match the stated goal?
  • Are there off-by-one errors, wrong comparisons, or incorrect assumptions about the data?
  • Are all inputs validated before use?
  • Are edge cases handled: empty collections, zero, null/None/undefined, negative numbers, max values, concurrent access?
  • Does error handling actually handle the error, or does it swallow it silently?
  • Are exceptions caught at the right level (not too broad, not too narrow)?
  • Are resources (files, connections, locks) released even on exception?
# Swallowed error — caller sees success, wrong data silently used
try:
    value = parse_config(raw)
except Exception:
    pass  # WRONG: value is now unset or stale

# RIGHT: propagate or at minimum log + re-raise
try:
    value = parse_config(raw)
except ConfigError as e:
    logger.error("config parse failed", error=e)
    raise

2. Security

Run through the relevant items from the security-review skill (load it for the full checklist). The most common PR-level findings:

  • Secrets or API keys hardcoded or logged.
  • SQL/shell/HTML built via string formatting with user input.
  • Missing ownership/permission checks on resource access.
  • New dependency with known CVEs (npm audit / pip-audit not run).

3. Test coverage

At Production tier, new code must have tests. Check:

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.
