review-code

review-code is a skill for Claude Code from mgiovani/cc-arsenal. It costs 191 tokens per session (2,571 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review skill that examines a pull request, commit, or codebase for correctness, speed, code style, missing tests, error handling, and unnecessary complexity.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing selected changes or an entire codebase and producing a severity-ranked report with suggested fixes. It analyzes code but does not edit it.
Why use it?
It helps find concrete problems before changes are merged, with each finding tied to a file and line instead of relying on guesses.

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

review-code 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 22d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/merge_findings.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Code Review

One review, adaptive lanes. The six core dimensions and the architecture lane always run. Security, deps, deep-performance and design/motion lanes join when the diff touches their area. Critical and Major findings are then attacked by a verifier before they reach the report.

Analysis only. Never edit code, commit, apply fixes, or run anything that mutates the repo. The report goes to chat. Run gh write commands (reviews, comments) only when the user explicitly asks to post.

Core rules

  • Every finding cites a file:line you read, pointing at the offending statement itself, not the block around it. No hypothetical issues, no estimated counts.
  • Review the diff, not the uncommitted working tree. Findings on changed lines are in-diff; findings on untouched lines of touched files are preexisting.
  • Project rules (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .claude/skills/*) are the style standard. A violation is a finding. Personal preference is not.
  • User context such as "another session is fixing X" is information, not an exclusion, unless the user says to exclude it.
  • Strict by default: report every smell and rule violation, Nit included. Nothing is silently passed.
  • Every subagent call sets model explicitly: review, research and verify use sonnet, planning uses opus. Never leave it inherited, never use haiku.

Workflow

Copy this checklist and tick each step. Do not start a step before the previous gate holds.

- [ ] 0. Scope: diff retrieved, file list and hunk ranges known            (gate: non-empty diff)
- [ ] 1. Discovery: stack and project rules extracted into a numbered list  (gate: list written)
- [ ] 2. Lane selection: lanes chosen with a one-line reason each           (gate: printed)
- [ ] 3. Fan-out: all lane agents launched in ONE parallel batch            (gate: all findings files written)
- [ ] 4. Consolidate: merged, deduplicated, routed to the right dimension
- [ ] 5. Verify: Critical/Major findings attacked, REJECTED dropped         (gate: every survivor has a verdict)
- [ ] 6. Report: written in chat from the template
- [ ] 7. Post: ONLY if the user explicitly asked

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.
