trove-review

trove-review is a skill for Claude Code from bravew/trove. It costs 29 tokens per session (918 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review skill that checks code changes for correctness, security problems, performance issues, and style violations. A pull request is a proposed change submitted for review before it enters the main codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review staged changes, specified files, or pull requests, checking requirements, authentication, validation, database queries, caching, naming, and function size.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable review checklist for missed edge cases, exposed secrets, unsafe input, injection attacks, inefficient queries, and unclear code.

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

trove-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 11d 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.

Code Review Guidelines

Review Checklist

When reviewing code, check for these categories in order:

If a PRP or implementation plan drove the change, read it first and review against its requirements. With no explicit scope, review staged changes; with a PR number, inspect the PR metadata and files; with paths, read those files in full before judging.

1. Correctness

  • Does the code do what it claims to do?
  • Are edge cases handled (null, empty, boundary values)?
  • Are error paths handled correctly?

2. Security

  • No hardcoded secrets, API keys, or credentials
  • Input validation on all external data
  • SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries)
  • XSS prevention (proper escaping/sanitization)
  • Authentication/authorization checks in place

3. Performance

  • No N+1 queries
  • Appropriate use of caching
  • No unnecessary re-renders (React) or re-computations
  • Pagination for large datasets

4. Maintainability

  • Clear naming (variables, functions, files)
  • Reasonable function length (under 50 lines preferred)
  • No code duplication
  • Appropriate abstraction level

5. Testing

  • Tests cover the happy path
  • Tests cover error/edge cases
  • Mocks are used appropriately
  • Test names describe the behavior being tested

6. Reader load

  • Layers to trace — flag one-caller wrappers and indirection that exists only to forward a call; collapse them.
  • State to hold — flag mutable scope wider than it needs to be.
  • The <30s test: can a new reader answer "where does X come from?" and "what can change X?" without spelunking? If not, say where it breaks.

Deep mode (adversarial, optional)

On request ("tear this apart", "stress test", "find blind spots") or for sensitive surfaces, run a deeper pass: review the change through several independent lenses (correctness, security, failure modes, maintainability), optionally via read-only sub-agents on disjoint concerns. State the change's intent first so the review challenges the execution, not the goal. Synthesize one verdict and sort every finding into Act on / Consider / Noted / Dismissed. Do not silently rewrite the diff — the deliverable is the verdict. For a true multi-model cloud review, point the user at /code-review ultra.

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.
