requesting-code-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from axiomantic/spellbook. It costs 77 tokens per session (942 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured pre-pull-request review process for checking completed implementation changes before they are merged.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps define the review scope, gather relevant plans and code context, dispatch review work, and verify that critical findings are addressed.
Why use it?
It catches important problems before review or merging and keeps findings tied to the exact code version that was checked.

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

requesting-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 3d 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 — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Requesting Code Review

Invariant Principles

  1. Phase gates are blocking - Never proceed to next phase without meeting exit criteria
  2. Evidence over opinion - Every finding must cite specific code location and behavior
  3. Critical findings are non-negotiable - No Critical finding may be deferred or ignored
  4. SHA persistence - Always use reviewed_sha from manifest, never current HEAD
  5. Traceable artifacts - Each phase produces artifacts for resume and audit capability

Phase-Gated Workflow

Reference: patterns/code-review-formats.md for output schemas.

Phases 1-2: Planning + Context

Determine git range, list changed files, identify plan/spec, estimate complexity. Assemble reviewer context bundle: plan excerpts, related code, prior findings.

Execute: /request-review-plan

Outputs: Review scope definition, reviewer context bundle

Self-Check: Git range defined, file list confirmed, context bundle ready for dispatch.

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.
