standards-and-spec-review

standards-and-spec-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mcinerneyjake/ticket-workflow. It costs 97 tokens per session (1,469 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of code-review, MIT.

A review of code changes against two references: the repository's coding standards and the original issue or specification. It compares the current work with a commit, branch, tag, or other Git reference.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review a branch or diff for standards compliance and specification accuracy, using parallel reviewers and a combined report.
Why use it?
It finds both style violations and cases where the implementation does not match the requested behavior. Reviewing the two concerns separately makes the findings easier to understand.

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

standards-and-spec-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 13d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to code-review — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Two-axis review of the diff between HEAD and a fixed point the user supplies:

  • Standards: does the code conform to this repo's documented coding standards?
  • Spec: does the code faithfully implement the originating issue / spec?

Both axes run as parallel sub-agents so they don't pollute each other's context, then this skill aggregates their findings.

Process

1. Pin the fixed point

Whatever the user said is the fixed point (a commit SHA, branch name, tag, main, HEAD~5, etc.). If they didn't specify one, ask for it.

Capture the diff command once: git diff <fixed-point>...HEAD (three-dot, so the comparison is against the merge-base). Also note the list of commits via git log <fixed-point>..HEAD --oneline.

Before going further, confirm the fixed point resolves (git rev-parse <fixed-point>) and the diff is non-empty. A bad ref or empty diff should fail here, not inside two parallel sub-agents.

2. Identify the spec source

Look for the originating spec, in this order:

  1. Issue references in the commit messages (#123, Closes #45, GitLab !67, etc.), fetched with whatever issue-tracker tools this session has.
  2. A path the user passed as an argument.
  3. A spec file under docs/, specs/, or .scratch/ matching the branch name or feature.
  4. If nothing is found, ask the user where the spec is. If they say there isn't one, the Spec sub-agent will skip and report "no spec available".

3. Identify the standards sources

Anything in the repo that documents how code should be written, such as CODING_STANDARDS.md or CONTRIBUTING.md.

On top of whatever the repo documents, the Standards axis always carries the smell baseline below: a fixed set of Fowler code smells (Refactoring, ch.3) that applies even when a repo documents nothing. Two rules bind it:

  • The repo overrides. A documented repo standard always wins; where it endorses something the baseline would flag, suppress the smell.
  • Always a judgement call. Each smell is a labelled heuristic ("possible Feature Envy"), never a hard violation. Like any standard here, skip anything tooling already enforces.

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.
