review

review is a skill for Claude Code from jaroslavsoucek-art/Giovanni. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,813 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only adversarial review of a draft that tests its claims, weaknesses, and strongest opposing case. It returns a SHIP, REWRITE, or KILL verdict with prioritized issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to challenge a position, find unsupported reasoning, and identify the strongest case against the draft. You can provide a file path or paste the draft directly.
Why use it?
It helps expose serious problems before a decision record, customer message, board document, or other draft is sent. It separates strategic concerns from minor editing.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

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 today.

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 — 121 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/giovanni:review

Run adversarial review on a draft (decision record, position paper, board material, customer message, fundraise narrative, constitution patch, predictive forecast). This command is a thin shell — the adversarial mode policy, four-pass protocol, strongest counter-case requirement, and SHIP/REWRITE/KILL discipline live in the giovanni:adversarial-reviewer agent. This file is the invocation contract.

Usage

/giovanni:review <draft-path>                     # required positional — path to draft file
/giovanni:review <draft-path> --position "..."    # optional one-line position statement
/giovanni:review <draft-path> --audience external # internal | external | mixed

If <draft-path> is omitted, the orchestrator looks for the draft inline in the message (paste-mode). If neither is present → STOP with usage hint.

Argument syntax

Arg Type Default Meaning
<draft-path> positional — Relative path to draft file (e.g. deliverables/<file>, memory/briefs/<file>, memory/decisions/<file>).
--position "<text>" parameterized string derived from draft One-line statement of the position the draft is defending. If absent, the agent derives it from the draft itself. If the agent can't derive a clear position, that ambiguity is itself a finding.
--audience <level> parameterized inferred internal / external / mixed. If absent, the agent infers from path and content.

Quoted strings supported. --flag=value and --flag value both work.

Pre-flight (binding — STOP on failure)

Before spawning giovanni:adversarial-reviewer:

  1. CWD check. Working directory is a Giovanni repo. Otherwise STOP.
  2. Agent definition present. ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/agents/adversarial-reviewer.md exists. Missing → STOP.
  3. Draft accessible. If <draft-path> is set: file exists and is readable. Otherwise STOP: ERROR: cannot read <path>.
  4. Trigger sanity check. If the draft contains explicit out-of-scope markers ("brainstorming", "thinking out loud", "[no review yet]"), surface advisory: WARN: draft contains brainstorming-mode marker. Adversarial review may suppress the exploration that's the point. Proceed? [y/N]. Default = abort.
  5. No required state files. Adversarial review is read-only over the draft and repo — no state files to validate.

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.
