review

A review process that compares code changes with a pinned Git reference, such as a commit, branch, or tag, in two ways: repository conventions and the original requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review branch changes or differences from a selected Git reference against documented standards and an issue, product requirements document, or specification.
Why use it?
Separating coding standards from requirement matching makes it easier to see whether a change is well-written and whether it does what was requested.

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 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 2d 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 — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review

Review compares the diff between HEAD and a pinned git reference along two deliberately separate axes:

  • Standards - does the change follow this repository's documented conventions?
  • Spec - does the change match the originating issue, PRD, or spec?

Run the two axes in separate agent sessions in parallel, then report them side by side. Keeping them independent prevents coding-standard findings from hiding scope or requirement mismatches, and vice versa.

When to Use

  • The user asks to "review since X", review a branch, or compare work against a commit, branch, tag, or HEAD~N
  • You need to verify both repository conventions and requirement alignment, not just general code quality
  • A branch looks plausible, but you need to separate "implemented correctly" from "implemented as requested"
  • You want a review artifact that distinguishes standards violations from spec drift

When NOT to Use

Instead of review Use
You only need a general quality or correctness pass code-review
You want a broad 6-lens PR review across PM, QA, Security, DevOps, and UX pr-multi-perspective-review
The task is to verify a delegated implementation against a handoff or task file item-by-item after it landed implementation-review

Workflow

1. Pin the reference first

Do not review against a fuzzy baseline. Use exactly what the user supplied: a commit SHA, branch, tag, main, HEAD~5, or another explicit git reference.

If the user did not specify one, stop and ask what to compare against.

Use one stable comparison for both axes:

git --no-pager diff <reference>...HEAD
git --no-pager log <reference>..HEAD --oneline

Use the same diff and commit list for both review axes so the findings stay comparable.

2. Find the spec source

Look for the originating spec in this order:

  1. Issue or ticket references in commit messages
  2. A path the user provided directly
  3. A matching doc under docs/, specs/, or .scratch/

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.

review is a skill published in the GitHub repository drvoss/everything-copilot-cli (45 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,291 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
