speq-code-review

speq-code-review is a skill for Claude Code from marconae/speq-skill. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,615 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review checklist and tag system for reporting issues such as guardrail violations, dead code, weak tests, unnecessary complexity, and poor error handling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect changed files and produce structured review findings about code quality, testing, comments, optimizations, design, and failure handling.
Why use it?
It gives reviewers consistent names and categories for findings, while avoiding criticism of choices that project rules explicitly allow.

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

speq-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 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.

Code Review Taxonomy

Analyze each changed file for the categories below.

1. Guardrail Violations

Per /speq-code-guardrails:

  • [TOO_MANY_ARGUMENTS]: more than 3 arguments
  • [SIDE_EFFECT]: function has a side effect its name and contract do not announce (a query that mutates, a command that touches unrelated state)
  • [BOOLEAN_FLAG_PARAMETER]: boolean flag parameter
  • [MAGIC_NUMBER]: magic number without a named constant (standing in for a failure, it is [SENTINEL_ERROR_VALUE], not this tag)
  • [MISSING_DOC_COMMENT]: missing doc comment on a public interface
  • [INLINE_COMMENT]: inline comment present (TODOs and other work-tracking comments are [WORK_TRACKING_COMMENT], not this tag)
  • [SELECTOR_ARGUMENT]: an argument (of any type, not just boolean) that picks which branch a function takes
  • [OUTPUT_PARAMETER]: a value returned via a mutated argument instead of the return value
  • [MIXED_ABSTRACTION_LEVEL]: a function mixes high-level orchestration with low-level detail
  • [COMMAND_QUERY_MIX]: a single call both mutates something and hands back an answer
  • [VAGUE_NAME]: a name that states no responsibility (Manager, Processor, Handler, Data, Info, Util)
  • [IMPLEMENTATION_IN_NAME]: a name that bakes in a transport, vendor, or format instead of the abstraction

2. Dead Code

  • [UNUSED_FUNCTION]: unused function or method
  • [UNREACHABLE_CODE]: unreachable code path
  • [UNUSED_IMPORT]: import not used
  • [UNUSED_VARIABLE]: variable assigned but never read

3. Test Quality

  • [OBSOLETE_TEST]: tests removed functionality
  • [DUPLICATE_TEST]: duplicate test coverage
  • [ASSERTION_FREE_TEST]: test always passes, no assertions
  • [VAGUE_TEST_NAME]: test name does not state the condition and expected behavior
  • [NONDETERMINISTIC_TEST]: test depends on real clock, network, filesystem, or unseeded randomness
  • [IMPLEMENTATION_COUPLED_TEST]: test asserts internal state instead of observable behavior
  • [UNTESTED_ERROR_PATH]: a failure path with no test
  • [MISSING_BOUNDARY_TEST]: no test for empty, single, maximum, off-by-one, or transition input
  • [SKIPPED_TEST]: test is skipped or ignored rather than fixed or deleted
  • [SUPPRESSED_WARNING]: a lint or compiler warning is silenced instead of resolved

What ships with it

1 file 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.
