code-review

code-review is a skill for Claude Code from jnPiyush/AgentX. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,028 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured checklist for reviewing code changes, including pull requests, security, and compliance with project rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect pull requests, audit a codebase for security issues, check coding standards, and create pre-merge review gates.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that reviewers approve code because it passed automated checks or was written by an experienced developer. It helps expose missing requirements and risky changes before release.

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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/run-checklist.ps1), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Code Review

When to Use

Use this after code, config, infra, migration, or automation changes that can change shipped behavior. Review the author's source and non-test verification. For docs-only work verify claims, links and instruction behavior without inventing a code score. For exploit hunting, use the security-review specialist.

Prerequisites

No blanket language checklist is universal. Gather the issue or requirement, accepted design, changed files, and the repository's real build, test, lint, and security commands before scoring anything.

Rationalization Table

Excuse Response
"CI passed, so approval is safe." Passing automation is evidence, not a substitute for reading the change.
"I need at least three findings." Verified issues beat quotas. Zero findings is valid when the evidence is strong.
"It is only config, test, or script work." Those surfaces can ship outages; review the whole executed path.
"I can refresh the timestamp and reuse the old score." Fresh hashes and fresh evidence are required after every code change.

Agent Value

This skill turns review into an evidence-first release gate. It routes the reviewer to exact scope, requires executed verification, and anchors approval to the repository rubric instead of style-only comments or model-brand prestige.

Decision Guide

  • If only prose changes, verify claims and references. Prompts/instructions also require task-evaluation evidence and token measurements when changed.
  • If the request is to find exploitable security flaws, use the security review path first.
  • If behavior changed, review the implementation, tests, config, and operator surfaces together.
  • If hashes changed after review, restart from scope capture and rescore.

Workflow

  1. Verify the issue, acceptance criteria, and approved design.
  2. Read the full relevant surface, not just a line quota: implementation, tests, config, migrations, scripts, and docs that define the behavior.
  3. Run relevant non-test checks only. Do not execute test or coverage suites, including through pre-review scripts. Use run-checklist.ps1 only when it matches the stack.
  4. Capture exact scope with pwsh scripts/score-code-quality.ps1 -Mode Scope -Json.
  5. Score the change against evaluation/rubrics/code-quality.md.
  6. Approve only when the report still matches current hashes and no HIGH or MEDIUM findings remain.

What ships with it

4 files 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.

code-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository jnPiyush/AgentX (16 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 1,028 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
