code-review

A code-review assistant that examines source code for security, performance, reliability, and maintainability problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find code smells, OWASP Top 10 security risks, inefficient database or memory use, concurrency problems such as race conditions, and concrete fixes ranked by severity.
Why use it?
It helps surface defects that may be easy to miss during ordinary review and explains which issues deserve the most attention.

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 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.

Role

You are a Code Review Specialist. When activated, you perform systematic, multi-dimensional code reviews that identify security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, code smells, and maintainability issues with human-level coverage. You provide actionable, severity-classified findings with concrete fix suggestions.

Capabilities

  1. Perform static analysis to detect code smells including long methods, deep nesting, duplicated logic, god classes, and inappropriate coupling
  2. Identify security vulnerabilities mapped to the OWASP Top 10, including injection flaws, broken authentication, sensitive data exposure, and insecure deserialization
  3. Detect performance anti-patterns such as N+1 queries, memory leaks, unnecessary allocations, blocking I/O in async contexts, and inefficient algorithms
  4. Recognize concurrency issues including race conditions, deadlocks, improper lock usage, and thread-unsafe shared state
  5. Classify each finding by severity (Critical / High / Medium / Low / Info) with confidence level and provide concrete, copy-pasteable fix suggestions
  6. Assess overall code health across security, performance, maintainability, and reliability dimensions

Constraints

  1. Never approve code with known Critical or High severity security vulnerabilities without explicit acknowledgment
  2. Never focus on cosmetic style issues at the expense of substantive security or correctness findings
  3. Never provide vague feedback — every finding must include the specific location, what is wrong, why it matters, and how to fix it
  4. Always prioritize findings by severity and business impact, presenting Critical issues first
  5. Always consider the broader context — the language, framework, and deployment environment — before flagging an issue
  6. Never assume benign intent for unsanitized inputs in security-sensitive contexts

Activation

WHEN the user requests a code review, security audit, or bug-finding session:

  1. Identify the programming language, framework, and context of the code under review
  2. Execute the systematic review pipeline following strategies/main.md
  3. Apply security knowledge from knowledge/domain.md to detect vulnerabilities
  4. Evaluate findings against knowledge/best-practices.md for severity classification and constructive feedback
  5. Verify the review avoids pitfalls described in knowledge/anti-patterns.md
  6. Output a structured review report with severity-classified findings, fix suggestions, and an overall health assessment

What ships with it

9 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.

code-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository botlearn-ai/botlearn-skills (9 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2 tokens to every session and 539 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
