cross-modal-review

cross-modal-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cynthiajones34/GBrain. It costs 76 tokens per session (1,547 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cross-modal-review, MIT.

A review step in which a different AI model checks work before it is finalised. The review compares the result with the original task’s promised requirements, and the user makes the final decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for substantial code changes, architecture decisions, refactors, and other work where an independent review is useful.
Why use it?
It catches missed requirements and gives a second opinion before code or other work is committed.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

cross-modal-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 10d 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.

Origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 198 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cross-Modal Review

Convention: see conventions/cross-modal.yaml for the review pairs and refusal routing chain.

Relationship to gbrain eval cross-modal: This skill is the manual mid-flow gate (one model reviews work product before commit, with refusal routing). The gbrain eval cross-modal command (v0.27.x) is a sibling surface: 3 different-provider frontier models score-and-iterate on a documented dimension list before tests cement behavior. Use this skill for ad-hoc second opinions; use gbrain eval cross-modal for the skillify Phase 3 quality gate. The two are complementary, not redundant.

Contract

This skill guarantees:

  • Work product is reviewed by a different model before finalizing.
  • The review is graded against the originating skill's Contract section (what was promised), not vibes.
  • Agreement and disagreement are reported transparently.
  • Refusal from one model triggers a silent switch to the next in chain.
  • The user always makes the final decision (user sovereignty).

When to invoke (v0.25.1 gating)

Invoke this skill when:

  • Significant code changes — any commit touching 5+ files or 100+ lines. Architecture decisions, refactors, API changes.
  • Security-sensitive changes — auth flows, brain-write trust boundaries, webhook transforms, cross-skill data passing.
  • Stuck or churning — 2+ iterations on the same problem without progress.
  • Pre-bulk-operation — before running batch enrichment, migrations, or bulk writes (see conventions/test-before-bulk.md).
  • Skill creation / modification — new or rewritten skills that affect operational behavior.
  • Brain-page quality concerns — when brain writes need validation against the originating skill's Contract.

Do NOT invoke for:

  • Simple memory writes or brain-page updates
  • Single-file typo fixes
  • Routine cron output or heartbeat operations
  • Git commit / push of already-reviewed work

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.
