requesting-code-review

A pre-commit review process that scans changes, checks quality, uses a separate reviewer, and can apply fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after feature work or bug fixes, especially when several files changed, to verify the diff before it lands.
Why use it?
It catches security and implementation problems before code is committed, pushed, or merged.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

requesting-code-review scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 281 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pre-Commit Code Verification

Automated verification pipeline before code lands. Static scans, baseline-aware quality gates, an independent reviewer subagent, and an auto-fix loop.

Core principle: No agent should verify its own work. Fresh context finds what you miss.

When to Use

  • After implementing a feature or bug fix, before git commit or git push
  • When user says "commit", "push", "ship", "done", "verify", or "review before merge"
  • After completing a task with 2+ file edits in a git repo
  • After each task in subagent-driven-development (the two-stage review)

Skip for: documentation-only changes, pure config tweaks, or when user says "skip verification".

This skill vs github-code-review: This skill verifies YOUR changes before committing. github-code-review reviews OTHER people's PRs on GitHub with inline comments.

Step 1 — Get the diff

git diff --cached

If empty, try git diff then git diff HEAD~1 HEAD.

If git diff --cached is empty but git diff shows changes, tell the user to git add <files> first. If still empty, run git status — nothing to verify.

If the diff exceeds 15,000 characters, split by file:

git diff --name-only
git diff HEAD -- specific_file.py

Step 2 — Static security scan

Scan added lines only. Any match is a security concern fed into Step 5.

# Hardcoded secrets
git diff --cached | grep "^+" | grep -iE "(api_key|secret|password|token|passwd)\s*=\s*['\"][^'\"]{6,}['\"]"

# Shell injection
git diff --cached | grep "^+" | grep -E "os\.system\(|subprocess.*shell=True"

# Dangerous eval/exec
git diff --cached | grep "^+" | grep -E "\beval\(|\bexec\("

# Unsafe deserialization
git diff --cached | grep "^+" | grep -E "pickle\.loads?\("

# SQL injection (string formatting in queries)
git diff --cached | grep "^+" | grep -E "execute\(f\"|\.format\(.*SELECT|\.format\(.*INSERT"

Step 3 — Baseline tests and linting

Detect the project language and run the appropriate tools. Capture the failure count BEFORE your changes as baseline_failures (stash changes, run, pop). Only NEW failures introduced by your changes block the commit.

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.

requesting-code-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository mateaix/mateclaw (1,061 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 2,079 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
