code-review

code-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from maxedapps/agent-skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (567 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review workflow for finding material defects in code, repository changes, pull requests, or completed implementations. It checks whether problems are real, reachable, consequential, and supported by evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a diff, pull request, codebase, or completed implementation for defects, plan compliance, and—when requested—testing or other review dimensions.
Why use it?
It helps focus reviewers on issues that could actually harm users or violate the intended plan. It avoids spending the review on style preferences, guesses, or low-impact nits.

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 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 1mo 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 — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Code Review

Stance

  • Review only what was asked. If the scope is unclear, ask.
  • Look hard, report little. Try to break the code with realistic inputs, states, and sequences. Challenge the work, not its author.
  • "Nothing worth changing" is a valid result. A short review is a good review.
  • Don't edit code unless asked.

What counts as a finding

Report something only if all of these hold:

  • There is a concrete way it fails or causes harm.
  • That can realistically happen.
  • The impact on users, data, security, or maintenance is real.
  • Fixing it removes more risk or complexity than the fix adds.

Never report niche edge cases, hypothetical scale, style preferences, duplication that hurts nothing, the number of helpers or files, or ideas for making things "more flexible".

Where to look

Check what applies to the change:

  • Correctness: wrong assumptions, error handling, races and async order, state and cleanup, and refactors that lost behavior.
  • Security: authentication and authorization, injection, trusting client input, and secrets or personal data in code, logs, or URLs.
  • Libraries: check behavior against the installed version's types and docs, not memory.
  • Tests: do they protect behavior that matters? Flag missing coverage of real behavior, assertions on implementation details, excessive mocking, and tests that pass without proving anything. Don't ask for tests for their own sake.
  • Data and APIs: breaking changes, migrations, and retries of side effects that aren't safe to repeat.
  • UI: when practical, exercise the changed screens in a real browser with agent-browser.
  • Complexity: unnecessary layers and wrappers, one-use helpers, speculative options or generic APIs, and defensive code for cases that can't happen. Prefer, in order: delete, use directly, local helper, shared abstraction, new abstraction.
  • Plan and ADR: if the change implements a plan, report plan tasks that are missing or unverified, and conflicts with an accepted ADR.

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.
