adversarial-reviewer

adversarial-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code from EngDawood/emdash-claude-plugin. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,058 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

An adversarial code-review skill that assumes code may contain bugs and actively searches for correctness problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing code or pull requests, finding bugs, auditing correctness, and stress-testing an implementation.
Why use it?
It provides a deliberately sceptical review so defects are investigated instead of being accepted at face value.

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

adversarial-reviewer 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 10d 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.

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.
