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-playbook 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.

Code Review Playbook

Overview

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for effective code reviews that improve code quality, share knowledge, and foster collaboration. Whether you're a reviewer giving feedback or an author preparing code for review, this playbook ensures reviews are thorough, consistent, and constructive.

When to use this skill:

  • Reviewing pull requests or merge requests
  • Preparing code for review (self-review)
  • Establishing code review standards for teams
  • Training new developers on review best practices
  • Resolving disagreements about code quality
  • Improving review processes and efficiency

Code Review Philosophy

Purpose of Code Reviews

Code reviews serve multiple purposes:

  1. Quality Assurance: Catch bugs, logic errors, and edge cases
  2. Knowledge Sharing: Spread domain knowledge across the team
  3. Consistency: Ensure codebase follows conventions and patterns
  4. Mentorship: Help developers improve their skills
  5. Collective Ownership: Build shared responsibility for code
  6. Documentation: Create discussion history for future reference

Principles

Be Kind and Respectful:

  • Review the code, not the person
  • Assume positive intent
  • Praise good solutions
  • Frame feedback constructively

Be Specific and Actionable:

  • Point to specific lines of code
  • Explain why something should change
  • Suggest concrete improvements
  • Provide examples when helpful

Balance Speed with Thoroughness:

  • Aim for timely feedback (< 24 hours)
  • Don't rush critical reviews
  • Use automation for routine checks
  • Focus human review on logic and design

Distinguish Must-Fix from Nice-to-Have:

  • Use conventional comments to indicate severity
  • Block merges only for critical issues
  • Allow authors to defer minor improvements
  • Capture deferred work in follow-up tickets

Conventional Comments

A standardized format for review comments that makes intent clear.

What ships with it

3 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.
