ie-review

ie-review is a skill for Claude Code from davidteren/intent-engineering. It costs 91 tokens per session (3,269 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review skill that examines changes for surprising behavior, unusual patterns, unnecessary complexity, missing user-experience details, and structural problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a diff, pull request, branch, or code change and produce findings, with an optional mode that applies safe verified fixes.
Why use it?
It helps find issues that may not show up as ordinary bugs, such as code that conflicts with project conventions or behaves differently from what users expect.

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

ie-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 224 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Intent Engineering — Code Review

Reviews a diff for surprise: code that doesn't behave the way a reasonable developer or user expects, fights convention, adds needless complexity, or skips UX essentials. Fans out the applicable lenses as parallel sub-agents (the four universal lenses, plus architecture on a supported framework), merges and confidence-gates their findings, and writes a report. This is the runtime complement to the principle docs under ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/resources/.

Grok users: this skill is the Claude orchestrator. The source repo also has an optional Grok workflow at .grok/workflows/ie-review.rhai (subset, report in scratch, no apply). See .grok/workflows/README.md.

Argument parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS; strip recognized tokens before treating the remainder as a PR number/URL or branch.

Token Effect
mode:agent Report-only; emit JSON (report-template "mode:agent"); skip the apply stage.
out:<path> Override published report path (file or dir). Defaults: scratch .intense/runs/<run-id>/, publish docs/intent-engineering/<stamp>-review[-scope].md. Outside-repo only when explicitly given.
base:<ref> Diff base on the current checkout (skip auto base detection). Do not combine with a PR/branch target.
plan:<path> Plan/spec for context (intent + scope alignment).
config:<path> Override project config directory (see config-resolution). Else walk-up / INTENSE_CONFIG_DIR.

Operating principles

  • Apply locally; never push. In default mode, apply the safe fixes you're confident in (Stage 5) and commit them as an isolated fix(ie-review): commit when the tree was clean; on a dirty tree apply but leave for the user. In mode:agent, mutate nothing — the caller applies. Never push, open PRs, or file tickets.
  • No blocking prompts. Infer intent and scope from tokens, git state, and the diff. Note uncertainty in Coverage; don't stop to ask.
  • Explicit mutations only. Never git checkout/switch or gh pr checkout. A PR or branch argument selects scope, not permission to switch trees.
  • Read the repo's standards. Convention findings hinge on local CLAUDE.md/ AGENTS.md and existing patterns — those override generic ideals.

Changes

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.
