review-severity-tiers

review-severity-tiers is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bostonaholic/team. It costs 31 tokens per session (630 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A rulebook for combining findings from different code reviewers into consistent severity levels and deciding whether work can ship.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps classify security, test, code, user-experience, and writing findings, determine which ones block release, and enforce the review-round limit.
Why use it?
Reviewers may use different labels for problems, so this creates one shared mapping for blocking issues, automatic fixes, and advisory notes.

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

review-severity-tiers 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 6d 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.

Review Severity Tiers

Gate Types by Reviewer

Reviewer Gate Type Blocks Ship?
security-reviewer HARD Yes — critical or high findings are non-negotiable
verifier HARD Yes — tests must pass, build must succeed
code-reviewer HARD Yes — blocking issues must be resolved
ux-reviewer AUTO-FIX REQUEST CHANGES is auto-applied in the loop (a major). Only COMMENT notes may reach you
technical-writer ADVISORY No — findings recorded, pipeline proceeds

Severity Tiers and the Auto-Fix Boundary

This table maps Conventional Comments, security severities, and reviewer verdicts to one orchestrator action. Every finding has one tier.

Tier Findings in this tier Action
Blocking issue (blocking), code-reviewer REQUEST CHANGES, security CRITICAL/HIGH, any verifier failure Auto-fixed in the loop. Never surfaced to the user.
Major ux-reviewer REQUEST CHANGES Auto-fixed in the loop. Never surfaced to the user.
Minor and below suggestion (non-blocking), nitpick (non-blocking), security MEDIUM, security LOW, technical-writer GAPS (REQUIRED and RECOMMENDED alike), any COMMENT-level note Recorded in the PR body's ## Review notes — never presented mid-run.

A non-blocking finding never costs a round. Each auto-fix reruns the implementer and all five reviewers. Blocking/Major are fixed autonomously; Minor reaches the human in PR review, regardless of importance. The human decides what to build and what to ship; the middle runs autonomously (principle-human-owns-the-ends).

  • agents/security-reviewer.md and skills/reviewing-code/SKILL.md agree: CRITICAL/HIGH are hard gates; MEDIUM/LOW do not block.
  • Technical-writer REQUIRED and RECOMMENDED are both Minor because its gate is ADVISORY.

No consult: never present findings mid-run. Loop Blocking/Major until zero; write Minor-and-below to PR ## Review notes, tagged by reviewer.

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.
