code-review

code-review is a skill for Claude Code from ivegamsft/basecoat. It costs 73 tokens per session (288 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for reviewing code changes and pull requests for defects and regressions. It focuses on behaviour and risk rather than changing code merely to match a preferred style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect diffs, rank findings by severity, assess regression risk, check changed behaviour, and identify missing tests.
Why use it?
It helps reviewers find bugs, security or data-loss risks, missed edge cases, and weak test coverage before changes are merged.

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-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.

What it actually says

Code Review

Use this skill when the task is to review code rather than write it.

Review Priorities

  1. Bugs and behavioral regressions
  2. Data loss, security, and correctness risks
  3. Missing validation or broken edge cases
  4. Missing or weak tests for changed behavior
  5. Secondary maintainability concerns

Output Shape

  • Findings first, ordered by severity
  • File references for each finding
  • Open questions or assumptions
  • Short summary only after findings

Non-Goals

  • Do not rewrite the code just because there is a different style preference.
  • Do not bury real risks under a long summary.
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
