codingest-code-review

codingest-code-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kkollsga/codingest. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,855 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review skill that builds a searchable map of a codebase and uses it with the change list, source files, text searches, and Git history. It helps answer structural questions about modules, callers, dependencies, routes, tests, and affected revisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review code changes, trace definitions and callers, inspect dependencies and routes, compare Git revisions, and verify which tests or parts of a codebase may be affected.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of missing indirect users or dependencies during review. Findings are checked against the actual files and code structure instead of relying only on the diff.

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

codingest-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.

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

Codingest code review

Use Codingest for structural evidence during review. The graph complements the git diff, source reading, and literal-text search; it does not replace them.

Review workflow

Prerequisites: the codingest CLI must be on PATH. pip install codingest also provides the builder-aware codingest-mcp server and a compatible graph engine. Rust-only environments can alternatively use Cargo. Examples that invoke the external kglite CLI require a compatible kglite>=0.20.0,<0.21; verify kglite --version before using its agent-response features.

Inspect the diff and repository guidance first. Identify changed symbols and the base/head revisions, then build or refresh the graph without executing repository code:

codingest build . --output .kglite/code-review.kgl --format json

For a committed comparison, use one graph spanning both revisions:

codingest build . --revs '<base>' '<head>' \
  --output .kglite/code-review.kgl --format json

Before reusing an artifact, check freshness:

codingest status --output .kglite/code-review.kgl --format json

Work from the question

Use this loop only as far as the question requires. It has no required map set or fixed query count.

  1. Establish target and coverage. Record the exact repository, revision, symbol, path, or subsystem in scope. For a completeness or absence claim, identify the relevant groups before retrieving their rows and record every query, executor, or presentation boundary.
  2. Retrieve a relevant relation. Ask the smallest structural question that can change the answer: callers, callees, implementers, imports, dependencies, routes, tests, or revision identity.
  3. Inspect selected source. Open the implicated definitions and call sites at exact lines. Graph edges identify candidates; source and executed tests establish behavior.
  4. Retain an evidence map. Keep each working claim with its graph revision, exact query or reference, concrete example or input state, what an assertion actually guarantees, and any unresolved question. These fields can be a compact note rather than separate documents.
  5. Resolve consequential uncertainty. Expand only when a contradiction, missing precondition, or correctness risk could change the answer. Stop when the requested conclusions have direct support.

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.
