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-specialist 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/analyze-metrics.py, scripts/compare-complexity.py), 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.

Code Review Skill

This skill provides comprehensive code review capabilities focusing on:

  1. Security Analysis

    • Authentication/authorization issues
    • Data exposure risks
    • Injection vulnerabilities
    • Cryptographic weaknesses
    • Sensitive data logging
  2. Performance Review

    • Algorithm efficiency (Big O analysis)
    • Memory optimization
    • Database query optimization
    • Caching opportunities
    • Concurrency issues
  3. Code Quality

    • SOLID principles
    • Design patterns
    • Naming conventions
    • Documentation
    • Test coverage
  4. Maintainability

    • Code readability
    • Function size (should be < 50 lines)
    • Cyclomatic complexity
    • Dependency management
    • Type safety

Reference Files

This skill includes supporting files that you should read when performing reviews:

  • templates/review-checklist.md — Structured checklist covering security, performance, quality, and testing. Read this file and use it as a guide to ensure no category is missed during review.
  • templates/finding-template.md — Standard template for documenting individual findings with severity, location, code examples, and impact analysis. Read this file and use its format when reporting issues.
  • scripts/analyze-metrics.py — Python script that calculates code metrics (function count, class count, average line length, complexity score). Run this on the file under review to gather quantitative data.
  • scripts/compare-complexity.py — Python script that compares cyclomatic and cognitive complexity between two versions of a file. Run this with the before and after versions when reviewing refactoring changes.

Review Template

For each piece of code reviewed, provide:

Summary

  • Overall quality assessment (1-5)
  • Key findings count
  • Recommended priority areas

Critical Issues (if any)

  • Issue: Clear description
  • Location: File and line number
  • Impact: Why this matters
  • Severity: Critical/High/Medium
  • Fix: Code example

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.
