code-review

code-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DevelopersGlobal/ai-agent-skills. It costs 28 tokens per session (681 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured process for reviewing code for correctness, security, and maintainability. It requires reviewer comments to describe specific, actionable changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before merging pull requests, when checking AI-generated code, or when auditing existing code.
Why use it?
It helps reviewers find real bugs, security risks, and missing failure handling instead of focusing mainly on style.

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

code-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 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.

Overview

Code review is the last line of defense before code reaches production. This skill structures the review process to catch real issues — not just style preferences — and ensures every comment is actionable and proportionate.

When to Use

  • Before merging any pull request
  • When reviewing AI-generated code
  • When auditing existing code for quality

Process

Step 1: Understand the Change

  1. Read the PR description fully — understand the intent before reading code.
  2. Check: Does the implementation match the stated intent?
  3. Identify the risk level: data mutation? auth changes? public API?

Verify: You understand what the PR is trying to accomplish.

Step 2: Correctness Review

  1. Does the code do what it claims to do?
  2. Are there off-by-one errors, null dereferences, or race conditions?
  3. Are all error cases handled?
  4. Do tests cover the happy path AND key failure paths?

Verify: You can trace the execution path for the primary use case and 2 failure cases.

Step 3: Security Review

  1. Apply security-hardening skill to any auth/input/data changes.
  2. Does this change open any OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities?
  3. Are any secrets or PII handled correctly?

Step 4: Maintainability Review

  1. Will the next developer understand this code without the author present?
  2. Are functions doing one thing?
  3. Are names descriptive and accurate?
  4. Is complexity proportionate to the problem?

Step 5: Provide Actionable Feedback

  1. Every comment must be one of:
    • Blocker: Must be fixed before merge
    • Suggestion: Optional improvement
    • Question: Needs clarification (not necessarily a problem)
  2. Blockers must be specific: "This SQL query is vulnerable to injection via {username} — use parameterized queries."
  3. Never leave vague comments like "this doesn't look right" without explaining why.

Common Rationalizations (and Rebuttals)

Excuse Rebuttal
"I'll review it quickly" A rushed review is not a review. Take the time or ask someone who can.
"The tests pass so it's fine" Tests prove the code works for tested inputs, not that it's secure or maintainable.
"I'll comment on style later" Style comments without blocker separation waste everyone's time. Label them.

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.
