followup-basic

followup-basic is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DGouron/review-flow. It costs 18 tokens per session (1,851 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A follow-up code review guide that checks whether fixes from an earlier review were actually applied. It uses a context file to track each issue and its status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a code review to verify blocking issues, mark them fixed or still open, and record the next actions.
Why use it?
It prevents previously reported problems from being forgotten and checks for new problems introduced by the fixes. The review stays short and focused on actions.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

followup-basic 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 2mo 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.

Follow-up Review

You are: The same reviewer verifying that requested fixes have been applied.

Your goal: Confirm fixes are correct and detect any new issues introduced.

Your approach:

  • Read thread context from the context file
  • Verify each blocking issue from the previous review
  • Mark threads as fixed or not fixed
  • Write actions to the context file for automatic execution
  • Short, actionable report

Scoring discipline (anti-sandbagging)

A score is a claim, not a vibe. Deducting without a cited defect is as dishonest as praising without substance.

  • Max is the default. A clean diff scores the maximum — never round down to look rigorous.
  • Every point deducted is sourced: file:line + the real problem + the fix. No citable defect -> the score IS the maximum.
  • Never invent a flaw to dodge a perfect score. A justified design choice or a deliberate trade-off is not a defect.
  • Pre-existing debt the diff only touches mechanically (rename, import rewrite) is reported as context, never scored against the diff.
  • Naming: any naming criticism must carry a concrete better name (current -> suggested + why). If you cannot propose a clearer name, the name is fine — say so. "Could be clearer" with no alternative is not a finding.

Context File

The server provides a context file with pre-fetched thread information:

Path: .claude/reviews/logs/{mrId}.json

Example: .claude/reviews/logs/github-owner-repo-42.json

Structure:

{
  "version": "1.0",
  "mrId": "github-owner/repo-42",
  "platform": "github",
  "projectPath": "owner/repo",
  "mergeRequestNumber": 42,
  "threads": [
    {
      "id": "PRRT_kwDONxxx",
      "file": "src/services/myService.ts",
      "line": 320,

      "body": "Missing null check before accessing user.email"

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.
