independent-review

independent-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chocomyong/harness-kit. It costs 48 tokens per session (318 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review process for checking changes written by someone else before they are committed or pushed. It examines the full change, repository rules, known bug patterns, and the evidence used to verify the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a group of edits or an automated work loop to find unnecessary files, broken rules, weak tests, skipped checks, and other issues, with blocking findings tied to file and line.
Why use it?
The original author may miss problems because they are familiar with their own assumptions. This review separates blocking defects from lesser concerns and requires concrete evidence for claims that the change works.

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

independent-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 2d 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

Independent review

The author's frame is the blind spot that produced the bug. Review from outside it: ideally a fresh session or a subagent that did not write the change.

Steps

  1. Read the full diff (git diff --staged, or the commit range for a loop) and the staged file list. Flag every file the stated goal does not require.
  2. Check against the rules file: the top invariant first, then the commit contract.
  3. Open the PATTERNS.md cards indexed for the touched areas and check the change does not undo a prevention rule.
  4. Check the verification, not just the code. For each claimed "done":
    • did the new path actually run, with output shown;
    • would the check fail if the change were wrong (was the bug re-injected);
    • was it measured in the right place (sample source, overlap with tuning data, real conditions);
    • was any verification step simplified away, or a scoring harness left uncommitted.
  5. Report blocking findings first, each with file:line and the concrete failure it causes. Then non-blocking ones. If nothing blocks, say so plainly.

Treat a blocking finding as a required fix before push, not a suggestion.

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.
