stelow-workflow-codebase-critique

stelow-workflow-codebase-critique is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from calionauta/stelow. It costs 94 tokens per session (2,250 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured audit of a source-code directory that reviews its technical organization rather than its visual design. It examines architecture, data flow, API contracts, performance, theming, responsive behavior, and low-quality AI-generated code patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a codebase's modules and dependencies, trace state and event flow, inspect error handling and logging, identify performance risks, and assess responsive or theme-related implementation.
Why use it?
It helps reveal structural weaknesses that may be difficult to notice during ordinary feature work. The result is a classified gap report with recommendations for addressing the findings.

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

stelow-workflow-codebase-critique 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 8d 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.

Codebase Critique

Focus: Critically analyze source code structure — architecture, data flow, API contracts, performance, theming, responsive patterns, and AI slop in code. Input: Source code directory. Output: Classified gap report (🚨/🤔/🔎) with recommendations.

Tools: See references/cli-tools/subagents.md for subagent patterns.

Standalone awareness: inside stelow, appetite gates critique depth (Lean → light, Core → quick, Complete → full). Standalone defaults to Core appetite (quick single-reviewer). Works with any source directory — no stelow dependency for the audit logic.

Overview

Structural codebase critique — evaluates architecture, data flow, API contracts, performance, theming, responsive patterns, and AI slop in code.

This skill performs a source code audit using checklists focused on technical and structural aspects (non-visual):

Dimension What it evaluates
🏗️ Architecture Module structure, dependency flow, coupling
🔄 Data Flow Call chains, state management, event propagation
📡 System Contracts API definitions, error handling, logging
Performance Bundle size, re-renders, lazy loading
🎨 Theming Design tokens, dark mode support
📱 Responsive CSS breakpoints, media queries
🤖 AI Slop in Code Over-generated patterns, redundant code, boilerplate

Important: This skill is for analyzing source code of components and logic. If you need visual UI auditing (accessibility, design, UX), use stelow-workflow-ux-critique em Codebase mode.

Appetite Gate (auto-skip for small scopes)

Before running codebase critique, check if appetite warrants it. Codebase critique is for structural analysis — if the scope is 1 file, the value is minimal.

# Read appetite from stelow context or env var; default Core (via canonical helper).
WF_DIR="$(ls -td .stelow/*/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1)"
# shellcheck disable=SC1091
source "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]:-$0}")/../../stelow-workflow-orchestrator/references/cli-tools/read-config.sh"
APPETITE="${APPETITE:-$(stelow_read_appetite)}"
DIFF_FILES=$(git diff --name-only HEAD~1 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')

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.
