code-review-change-size

code-review-change-size is a skill for Codex from GhabiX/SpineCodex. It costs 12 tokens per session (91 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of code-review-change-size, Apache-2.0.

A guideline for keeping code changes small enough to review comfortably.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide when a change should be split into smaller stages, based on the actual differences and affected code.
Why use it?
Large changes are harder to understand and make it easier for defects to escape review.

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-review-change-size 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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to code-review-change-size — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Unless the change is mechanical the total number of changed lines should not exceed 800 lines. For complex logic changes the size should be under 500 lines.

If the change is larger, explain whether it can be split into reviewable stages and identify the smallest coherent stage to land first. Base the staging suggestion on the actual diff, dependencies, and affected call sites.

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.
