malloy-review

malloy-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from malloydata/publisher. It costs 60 tokens per session (2,487 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review guide for Malloy files, which define data models and queries. It checks one file, a folder of models, or a GitHub change against project standards and review rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review, audit, or critique .malloy files, Malloy model folders, or pull requests that change Malloy code.
Why use it?
It helps find modeling problems consistently and records each finding in a standard Markdown review file with references to the relevant rule.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Prompt Injection · line 5
    Hidden instructions were detected in comments or invisible text. These could contain malicious directives. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Audit all comments and invisible characters. Remove any instructions that direct the agent to perform unauthorized actions. Use plain, reviewable content.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 154
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

malloy-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 11d 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 — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Malloy Code Review

Single-pass code reviewer for .malloy files. The deliverable is one Markdown file in the canonical shape (see reference/output-template.md). Findings cite the project's standards file (e.g., CLAUDE.md) where it applies; otherwise they cite rubric IDs (reference/rubric-*.md).

Tool names are written bare here - get_context, execute_query, search_malloy_docs. The exact prefixed name depends on the host surface; match each against the tools you actually have.

Before you start

Read these in order:

  1. Project standards: whatever conventions exist in your host environment (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, etc.). Treat as the higher-priority source of truth; rubric rules defer to it where they overlap.
  2. reference/severity-taxonomy.md: the vocabulary every finding uses.
  3. reference/rubric-*.md: the seven dimension rubrics. Don't re-read for every review; load them on demand based on what's in scope.
  4. reference/output-template.md: the shape of the review file you produce.
  5. .malloy-review.local.md in the scope folder, if present, project-specific severity overrides or extra rules.

Make sure the Malloy MCP tools are configured before running: this skill uses execute_query for data checks and search_malloy_docs for verifying Malloy capabilities. Both are optional; the review degrades gracefully if either is unavailable.

Inputs

/malloy-review [<path>] [--pr <n>] [--out <file>] [--comment]
Argument Effect
(no arg) Auto-detect scope per reference/scope-resolution.md
<path> Review that file or directory
--pr <n> Review the .malloy files changed in GitHub PR <n> (see PR mode below)
--out <file> Write review to this path. Default is ./malloy-review-<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>.md
--comment PR mode only: post the review as a PR comment via gh pr comment

If scope is ambiguous (multiple packages, wrong file type, empty result), stop and ask: don't guess. See reference/scope-resolution.md for the rules.

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.
