review-code

review-code is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dhaupin/vant. It costs 15 tokens per session (896 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured process for reading code, understanding its behavior, and reporting problems clearly. It checks whether the main logic works, handles unusual inputs, responds safely to failures, and protects against common security risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review program entry points, data flow, edge cases, error handling, exposed credentials, injection risks, and unsafe file or command access.
Why use it?
It helps find bugs and unsafe behavior that may be missed when code is judged only by its intended purpose.

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

review-code 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.

Code Review

Read code. Understand it. Find issues. Report clearly.


First: Read It Like It Works

Before finding bugs, understand what it does:

  1. Run it - Actually execute if possible
  2. Trace the data - Follow input to output
  3. Find the edges - Where does it start, where does it end?
  4. Check the happy path - Does the main thing work?

Assume it's right until you understand it. Then question.


Pass 1: Functionality

Does this actually do the thing?

Check Look For
Entry point Where does execution start?
Main logic Core algorithm correct?
Edge cases null, empty, extremes
Error handling What happens on failure?
Return values What's actually returned?

How to verify:

// Run with inputs
node file.js test-input

// Check output matches expectation

Pass 2: Security

Input enters. Something executes. Check:

// Credentials exposed?
process.env.API_KEY
// Hardcoded secrets?
const token = "sk-..."
// Injection points?
db.query(userInput)
exec(userInput)
eval(userInput)
// Filesystem?
fs.readFile(path)

Questions to ask:

  • Can this be called by anyone?
  • What happens with malicious input?
  • Are credentials visible in stack traces?
  • Rate limiting?

Pass 3: Performance

Expensive operations:

// Loops inside loops?
items.map(i => i.sub.map(s => ...))

// Async blocked?
await Promise.all(heavy)

// Missing cache?
// Same lookup repeated

// Memory unbounded?
arr.push(infinite)

Questions:

  • Scales with users?
  • Memory bounded?
  • Async/await correct?

Pass 4: Code Quality

Check Issue Fix
Name unclear x userCount
Function too long 500 lines Split it
Comments what not why // loop // sorted by date to match UI
No tests - Add tests

Questions:

  • Can I understand this in 30 seconds?
  • Does function do one thing?
  • Are side effects obvious?

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.

review-code is a skill published in the GitHub repository dhaupin/vant (11 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 896 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
