code-reviewer

A code-review guide for checking local file changes or remote GitHub pull requests, which are proposed code updates for others to review. It considers correctness, maintainability, and the project's standards.

In plain words
What is it for?
Review staged or unstaged local changes, or inspect a pull request by its number or URL. Use it to examine the change's purpose, run project checks, and identify issues.
Why use it?
It helps find problems and missed requirements before code is merged or shared. It also brings test, build, lint, and formatting checks into the review process when appropriate.

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

code-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 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.

Code Reviewer

This skill guides the agent in conducting professional and thorough code reviews for both local development and remote Pull Requests.

Workflow

1. Determine Review Target

  • Remote PR: If the user provides a PR number or URL (e.g., "Review PR #123"), target that remote PR.
  • Local Changes: If no specific PR is mentioned, or if the user asks to "review my changes", target the current local file system states (staged and unstaged changes).

2. Preparation

For Remote PRs:
  1. Checkout: Use the GitHub CLI to checkout the PR.
    gh pr checkout <PR_NUMBER>
    
  2. Verification: Execute the workspace's verification suite to catch issues early. Capture the output of these commands to inform your review (e.g., note any failed tests or linting errors).
    npm install
    npm run build
    npm run test
    npm run lint
    npm run format:check
    
  3. Context: Read the PR description and any existing comments to understand the goal and history.
For Local Changes:
  1. Identify Changes:
    • Check status: git status
    • Read diffs: git diff (working tree) and/or git diff --staged (staged).
  2. Verification: Ask the user if they want to run the verification suite before reviewing. If yes, run the same commands as for remote PRs.

3. In-Depth Analysis

Analyze the code changes based on the following pillars:

  • Correctness: Does the code achieve its stated purpose without bugs or logical errors?
  • Maintainability: Is the code clean, well-structured, and easy to understand and modify in the future? Consider factors like code clarity, modularity, and adherence to established design patterns.
  • Readability: Is the code well-commented (where necessary) and consistently formatted according to our project's coding style guidelines?
  • Efficiency: Are there any obvious performance bottlenecks or resource inefficiencies introduced by the changes?
  • Security: Are there any potential security vulnerabilities or insecure coding practices?
  • Edge Cases and Error Handling: Does the code appropriately handle edge cases and potential errors?
  • Testability: Is the new or modified code adequately covered by tests (even if preflight checks pass)? Suggest additional test cases that would improve coverage or robustness.

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.

code-reviewer is a skill published in the GitHub repository gemini-cli-extensions/workspace (636 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 974 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.
