code-review-iterative

code-review-iterative is a skill for Claude Code from mayank-io/mstack. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,162 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An iterative code-review workflow that asks three reviewers to examine the same changes from engineering, senior development, and testing perspectives. Code review is the process of checking code for defects and design problems before it is accepted.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review unstaged changes, specified files, a branch, or a pull request, with findings labeled from blocker to minor note.
Why use it?
It helps reveal different kinds of problems and then repeats the review after fixes, with stricter thresholds each time.

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-iterative 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 2mo 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 — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Iterative Code Review

Run up to 4 review-fix iterations with 3 parallel reviewer agents (PE, Sr SDE, QA). Each iteration raises the bar for what gets fixed, converging quickly to clean code.

Review Scope

By default, review unstaged changes from git diff. If the user specifies files, a branch, or a PR, use that scope instead.

Process

Step 0: Initialize

Set iteration = 1. Determine the review scope (git diff, specific files, or user-specified).

Step 1: Launch 3 Reviewer Agents in Parallel

Dispatch 3 agents simultaneously, each reviewing the same code from a different perspective. Every agent MUST categorize each finding as exactly one of: BLOCKER, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, NIT.

Agent 1 — Principal Engineer (PE):

Review this code as a Principal Engineer. Focus on: architecture, design patterns, abstraction quality, API contracts, performance implications, scalability concerns, and whether the approach is fundamentally sound. Categorize every finding as BLOCKER, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, or NIT. Include file path and line number for each.

Stay in your lane: You own architecture, AST/IR design, parser/compiler structure, and performance. Do NOT rule on whether a domain concept is semantically valid or whether a condition should accept certain inputs from a domain perspective — that is the Domain Expert's call. If you think a domain assumption in the code is wrong, flag it as a question rather than a finding.

Agent 2 — Senior SDE:

Review this code as a Senior Software Engineer. Focus on: correctness, edge cases, error handling, null/undefined safety, race conditions, resource leaks, naming, readability, DRY violations, and adherence to project conventions (check CLAUDE.md). Categorize every finding as BLOCKER, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, or NIT. Include file path and line number for each.

Stay in your lane: You own implementation correctness, code quality, and codebase consistency. Do NOT rule on domain semantics or override domain-driven design decisions. If a pattern seems wrong but is documented as a domain requirement, flag it as a question rather than a finding.

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.
