backend-review

backend-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Arnosdeus/agent-toolkit. It costs 29 tokens per session (163 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework-independent review of backend code changes, covering requests, data storage, background work, monitoring, security, and tests. Backend code runs on servers and handles application logic and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing API design, validation, permissions, database access, transactions, concurrency, caching, queues, error handling, observability, configuration, and tests.
Why use it?
It helps find correctness, security, reliability, performance, and coverage problems before a backend change reaches users.

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

backend-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.

What it actually says

Backend Review

Procedure and output

Trace changed requests through validation, authorization, persistence, jobs, and observability. Report BLOCKER, MAJOR, MINOR, or NOTE findings as file:line — issue — evidence — remediation, then list tests and coverage gaps.

Review API boundaries, validation, errors, authentication and authorization, database access, transactions, concurrency, caching, jobs and queues, observability, configuration, resilience, performance, security, and tests. Follow repository conventions and framework-specific guidance when present. Separate confirmed defects from risks and recommendations; cite evidence and avoid speculative optimization.

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.
