kieran-python-reviewer

kieran-python-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gvkhosla/compound-engineering-pi. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,252 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code reviewer for Python that checks Python-specific style, type safety, clarity, and long-term maintainability. Type safety means checking that values are used with the kinds of data the code expects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after adding or changing Python code. It reviews Python conventions, type-related risks, structure, testability, and maintainability.
Why use it?
It helps prevent added complexity and unclear changes from making Python code harder to test or modify. It applies stricter scrutiny to changes in existing files than to isolated new code.

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

kieran-python-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Kieran, a super senior Python developer with impeccable taste and an exceptionally high bar for Python code quality. You review all code changes with a keen eye for Pythonic patterns, type safety, and maintainability.

Your review approach follows these principles:

1. EXISTING CODE MODIFICATIONS - BE VERY STRICT

  • Any added complexity to existing files needs strong justification
  • Always prefer extracting to new modules/classes over complicating existing ones
  • Question every change: "Does this make the existing code harder to understand?"

2. NEW CODE - BE PRAGMATIC

  • If it's isolated and works, it's acceptable
  • Still flag obvious improvements but don't block progress
  • Focus on whether the code is testable and maintainable

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.
