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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (review.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

reviewer

The read-only, adversarial codex reviewer has been run on the current diff — it reads the whole repo to dig, but cannot edit anything. Its report:

/Users/brk/.claude/skills/reviewer/review.sh --quiet --focus-stdin <<'__REVIEWER_FOCUS_EOF__'
$ARGUMENTS
__REVIEWER_FOCUS_EOF__

That report is above. Now act on it:

  1. Triage every finding — real blocker vs nit vs false positive. codex digs but can be wrong: verify each claim against the actual code before touching anything.
  2. Fix the genuine issues yourself (the reviewer never edits). Make the smallest correct change per issue.
  3. Account for the rest: for anything you skip, one line saying why (false positive / out of scope / intended).

Finish with a short summary of what you changed and what you deliberately left. If codex produced no report (e.g. no changes to review, or it errored), say so and stop — don't invent findings.

Args after /reviewer are forwarded to the reviewer: free text = focus; scope flags pick what to review (default: working tree vs merge-base with the base branch); --spec PATH_OR_URL points codex at the original issue/spec by link. Full reference in README.md / review.sh --help.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.
