coding.annotate_with_todoai

coding.annotate_with_todoai is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from causify-ai/helpers. It costs 13 tokens per session (404 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A code-review helper that reads Python files and adds TODO comments where the files break the project's documented coding or testing rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to annotate Python source files and Python test files with specific TODOs describing the violated rules.
Why use it?
It points out rule violations directly in the code, so developers can see what needs attention without manually comparing every line with separate guidelines.

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

coding.annotate_with_todoai 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Goal

  • The user will give you a file <FILE> and you will annotate the file with TODOs based on the violated rules and conventions

Workflow

Step 1: Determine the Rules to Apply

  • If <FILE> is a Python file use <RULES>

    • .claude/skills/coding.rules.md
  • If <FILE> is a Python testing file (e.g., test/test_*.py) use <RULES>

    • .claude/skills/coding.rules.md
    • .claude/skills/testing.rules.md
  • Print the rule files <RULES> to be used for each file in <FILE>

  • Read the rule files <RULES> carefully

Step 2: Annotate with TODOs

  • Annotate all the points in <FILE> with violations to rules in <RULES> adding a TODO, like
    # TODO(ai_gp): Apply <rule> before the point with violation
    
  • E.g.,
    # TODO(ai_gp): Apply "Replace Checking Invariants with `assert_equal` - Do not use multiple `assertIn()` calls to check individual pieces of a string output; instead compare the entire output with `assert_equal()`"
    self.assertIn("Failed Tests Summary", actual)
    self.assertIn("test_method1", actual)
    self.assertIn("test_method2", actual)
    self.assertIn("Total failing tests: 2", actual)
    

Step 3: Verification

  • Make sure that all the violations of the <RULES> in <FILE> are caught and commented

Step 4: Ask User to Continue

  • Ask the user to commit and then ask to continue
  • If the user says to continue run the skill /coding.todoai_gp on <FILE>

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.
