dev-review

dev-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from codeaholicguy/ai-devkit. It costs 47 tokens per session (700 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A final review guide for software changes before they are pushed. It checks the implementation against feature plans, design documents, callers, tests, and integration risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a holistic pre-push review, especially during the final phase of a development lifecycle, with findings tied to specific files and lines.
Why use it?
It helps catch mismatches and release risks that may be missed when reviewing individual files in isolation.

About the project

AI DevKit is a local-first control layer that gives multiple AI coding agents shared configuration, a terminal dashboard, cross-agent messaging, local memory retrieval, and reusable engineering workflows. It is for developers and teams supervising agents such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Pi, Cursor, Copilot, or Devin. The catalogue entries are composable skills and plugin components used within that agent-management system.

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

dev-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 1mo 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.

Dev Review

Run final pre-push review for configured AI docs features. Before changing docs or code, propose the concrete review plan and wait for user approval unless the user already approved the exact phase plan.

Phase Contract

  1. Run npx ai-devkit@latest lint before phase work.
  2. If working on a named feature, run npx ai-devkit@latest lint --feature <name>.
  3. Check git status -sb and git diff --stat.
  4. Read feature docs and relevant changed files before findings.
  5. Apply the verify skill before claiming readiness.
  6. If parent dev-lifecycle established usable task tracing, emit review phase, progress, blocker/finding, next-step, and final evidence/readiness events per task.

Code Review

Use for Phase 9. Take a holistic review stance: findings first, ordered by severity, grounded in file/line references.

  1. Gather context: feature description, modified files, design docs, risky areas, tests already run.
  2. Verify design alignment by summarizing architectural intent and checking implementation matches.
  3. For each modified file, grep exported names to trace callers and dependents. Read relevant signatures, call sites, and type definitions.
  4. Check consistency against 1-2 similar modules.
  5. Search for existing utilities the new code could reuse or now duplicates. Flag near-matches honestly; do not force a wrong abstraction.
  6. Verify contract integrity at API, type, config, and schema boundaries.
  7. Check boundary discipline: external data is validated at edges, internal code is not littered with redundant guards, and transport/storage/framework types do not leak through domain APIs.
  8. Check reader load: needless layers, pass-through methods, broad shallow interfaces, mutable state scope, and unclear value ownership.
  9. Check domain fit: branch growth, synchronized flags, repeated shape assumptions, temporal decomposition, and missing state models.
  10. Check dependency health, including circular dependencies or version conflicts from new imports.
  11. Check breaking changes. For public/external APIs, recommend parallel change and deprecation over in-place mutation. For in-repo-only callers, all callers should be migrated and legacy APIs deleted.
  12. Check rollback safety, especially irreversible migrations or one-way data/state changes.
  13. Review file by file for correctness, logic, edge cases, redundancy, security, performance, error handling, and test coverage.
  14. Check cross-cutting concerns: naming conventions, documentation updates, missing tests, config/migration changes.
  15. Summarize blocking issues, important follow-ups, and nice-to-haves. Per finding include file, issue, impact severity, and recommendation.
  16. If task tracing is available, add blockers and set blocked for blocking findings; if review passes with final evidence, close the task per task.
  17. Complete final checklist: design match, no logic gaps, security addressed, integration points verified, tests cover changes, docs updated.

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.
