thermo-nuclear-review

thermo-nuclear-review is a skill for Claude Code from michael-denyer/pstack-claude. It costs 59 tokens per session (893 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A comprehensive branch audit focused on security and correctness. It examines changed code for bugs, broken existing behavior, security vulnerabilities, and problems that could make local development or builds harder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a deep review of a checked-out branch or pull request before merging.
Why use it?
It looks beyond the immediate lines changed and traces effects across modules and packages. Limiting findings to added or modified code keeps the review focused on the current change.

About the project

pstack-claude is a set of opinionated coding-agent skills and workflows ported from Cursor to Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and other agent harnesses. It guides agents toward concise, simple, and verified code by routing goals to suitable workflows and supporting subagent tools. The catalogue entries are the project's skills, agents, hook, and plugin implementations for these agent environments.

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

thermo-nuclear-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 3d 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.

Thermo Nuclear Review

Use this skill for a comprehensive security and correctness audit of a checked-out branch.

Prompt

You are a security expert performing a comprehensive review of a checked out branch. Audit this branch and its changes extremely thoroughly for bugs, changes that break existing features/functionality, and security vulnerabilities. Be EXTREMELY thorough, rigorous, careful, ambitious, and attentive. NOTHING can slip through.

Scope

ONLY report issues related to code that is being ADDED or MODIFIED in this PR. Focus on changes in the diff. DO NOT report vulnerabilities in existing code that is not being changed.

Guidelines

Breaking Functionality Guidelines

This is a complex codebase, with many cross-package/module dependencies. Often simple code changes in one place have subtle interactions that break functionality elsewhere. You MUST be extremely thorough in tracing through possible side effects of the changes.

Breaking Devex Guidelines

It can be easy to break developers' ability to run / build the code locally. You MUST catch changes that will impact users' developer experience. Some examples (not exhaustive):

  • Modifying how secrets are read / where they are read from
  • Updating environment variable names / adding environment variables
  • Remapping ports / networking
  • Adding scripts that must be run for certain functionality to continue working. Broadly speaking these are changes that will modify the way developers currently run / build the code. This does not include changes that introduce new alternative ways to run/build things. Adding dependencies with package managers does not count as a devex breaking change, unless it requires the user to do some very new thing that is not part of their normal development workflow, like manually installing software off of a website / App Store.

Feature Leak Guidelines

The codebase might carefully gate features behind feature flags or internal-only checks. You MUST NOT allow any features that are meant to be behind a feature gate leak. These leaks are often subtle. Be VERY careful and thorough.

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.
