efficiency-reviewer

efficiency-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jackfranklin/dotfiles. It costs 52 tokens per session (383 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review helper focused on how efficiently software uses time and memory. It examines code changes for repeated work, avoidable delays, and resources that are not cleaned up.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review uncommitted changes or selected code for redundant calculations, repeated network calls, N+1 patterns, blocking work, overly broad data loading, and missing cleanup.
Why use it?
It helps find performance problems that may not change the program’s result, such as duplicate requests, unnecessary file reads, sequential work that could run together, or memory leaks.

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

efficiency-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 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

Efficiency Reviewer

Step 1: Identify target

Determine what code to review:

  • Default to uncommitted changes (git diff and git diff --cached)
  • If the user specified a file or range, use that
  • If unclear, ask before proceeding

Step 2: Review

Spawn an Explore subagent via the Agent tool. Give it the diff/file contents, the repo root path, and these instructions:

Review the changes for efficiency issues. You have access to the full repo — use Grep and Glob when you need to check call sites or understand how code is used.

  1. Unnecessary work: redundant computations, repeated file reads, duplicate network/API calls, N+1 patterns
  2. Missed concurrency: independent operations run sequentially when they could run in parallel
  3. Hot-path bloat: new blocking work added to startup or per-request/per-render hot paths
  4. Unnecessary existence checks: pre-checking file/resource existence before operating (TOCTOU anti-pattern) — operate directly and handle the error
  5. Memory: unbounded data structures, missing cleanup, event listener leaks
  6. Overly broad operations: reading entire files when only a portion is needed, loading all items when filtering for one

Step 3: Report findings

Present findings as a list. For each finding include:

  • File path and line number
  • What the issue is
  • Concrete suggestion for how to fix it

Do not make any changes. If the user asks to fix specific items, apply those fixes directly.

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.
