code-reviewer

A guide for reviewing code changes in your local project or in a remote pull request. It checks the changes for correctness, maintainability, and consistency with project standards.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review staged or unstaged local changes, or a pull request identified by number or URL.
Why use it?
It organizes the review process so important checks and project context are not missed. It can also run the project's verification command before a detailed review 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 yesterday.

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. Preflight: Execute the project's standard verification suite to catch automated failures early.
    npm run preflight
    
  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. Preflight (Optional): If the changes are substantial, ask the user if they want to run npm run preflight before reviewing.

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.
