lean-review

lean-review is a skill for Claude Code from ezBuilder/code-brain. It costs 22 tokens per session (344 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review focused only on code that may be more complicated than needed. It identifies candidates for deletion, standard-library or built-in replacements, and shorter equivalent code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing a diff or selected files for dead code, unused flexibility, one-use abstractions, avoidable dependencies, and other possible reductions without editing them.
Why use it?
It helps separate unnecessary complexity from real correctness, security, or performance problems, which belong in a normal code review.

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

lean-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 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.

What it actually says

현재 diff나 지정 범위를 correctness/security가 아니라 과설계 관점으로만 검토한다.

찾을 항목:

  • delete: 죽은 코드, 투기적 기능, 사용되지 않는 유연성
  • stdlib: 표준 라이브러리로 대체 가능한 직접 구현
  • native: 플랫폼/DB/CSS/브라우저 기본 기능으로 대체 가능한 코드나 의존성
  • yagni: 구현체 하나뿐인 abstraction/factory/wrapper, 설정값 하나뿐인 config
  • shrink: 같은 동작을 더 짧게 표현할 수 있는 코드

보고 형식:

<file>:L<line>: <delete|stdlib|native|yagni|shrink>: <cut>. <replacement>.

끝에 net: -<N> lines possible.을 적는다. 줄일 것이 없으면 Lean already. Ship.만 적는다.

범위:

  • 수정하지 않고 보고만 한다.
  • correctness, security, performance 이슈는 일반 code-review로 넘긴다.
  • 최소 smoke/self-check는 과설계로 보지 않는다.

KEEP(과설계로 보지 않는다 — 삭제 후보로 올리지 말 것):

  • 경계 입력 검증, I/O·외부호출 예외 처리, 데이터 손실/유실 방지 코드
  • 비자명한 이유를 설명하는 WHY 주석
  • 접근성·보안·검증 로직, 명시적 요구사항

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.
