requesting-code-review

requesting-code-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GanyuanRan/Aegis. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,869 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for asking an independent reviewer to examine code changes before they are merged. The review focuses on concrete problems, risks, tests, compatibility, and whether the work is ready for the next step.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementation slices, before merging high-risk changes, or when verification reveals questions about the design, evidence, compatibility, or retiring old code.
Why use it?
It provides a separate check after implementation, helping catch defects and uncertainty before they spread into later work or reach the main codebase.

About the project

Aegis is a method pack that guides coding agents to inspect a project's baseline, make bounded changes, and verify their work with fresh evidence. It is for people using coding-agent hosts who want fewer unverified changes and less unnecessary process. The catalogue add-ons implement this method through skills, instructions, commands, a hook, and a plugin.

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

requesting-code-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 5d 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 — 220 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Requesting Code Review

Dispatch a reviewer subagent using the canonical code-reviewer.md template to catch issues before they cascade. The reviewer gets precisely crafted context for evaluation — never your session's history. This keeps the reviewer focused on the work product, not your thought process, and preserves your own context for continued work.

This skill is the canonical review-request workflow for method-pack implementation work. Use it to request review only after you have enough evidence, enough context, and a clear authority boundary for what the reviewer is being asked to assess.

Core principle: Review early, review often.

Findings First: Reviews lead with concrete findings before summary. Use bugs first, risk first, tests first. Strengths and general assessment are still useful, but they must not bury correctness, evidence, architecture, or retirement problems.

Review readiness is not merge approval. A review can reduce uncertainty and recommend readiness, but it does not replace verification-before-completion and does not grant completion authority.

When to Request Review

Mandatory:

  • After each task in subagent-driven development
  • After completing major feature
  • Before merge to main

Optional but valuable:

  • When stuck (fresh perspective)
  • Before refactoring (baseline check)
  • After fixing complex bug

Required Outputs

Before you leave this workflow, you must be able to state:

  1. What exact scope is being reviewed
  2. What plan, requirement, or contract defines success
  3. What Product / Requirement Baseline defines accepted behavior and non-goals
  4. What Architecture / Runtime Boundary Baseline defines the expected architecture state
  5. What fresh evidence already exists
  6. What compatibility boundary must still hold
  7. What old owner / fallback / patch stays, shrinks, or retires
  8. What the reviewer must specifically validate
  9. Whether the reviewer is providing advisory review only, or also any higher-level merge recommendation
  10. Aegis Visibility: why findings-first ordering, evidence sufficiency, baseline alignment, compatibility, or retirement risk matters for this review request
  11. Semantic context scope: which relevant canonical terms, deprecated aliases, or public naming boundaries the review must preserve

Changes

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.
