autoreview

autoreview is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from minghinmatthewlam/agent-guards. It costs 48 tokens per session (785 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured helper for reviewing local code changes, branches, commits, and pull requests. It runs a review engine against the selected change and checks findings against the actual code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing working-tree edits, branch differences, commits, and pull requests, then checking and fixing blocking findings.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to find serious problems before code is considered finished.

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

autoreview 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/test-autoreview-unit.py, scripts/test-review-harness.ps1, scripts/test-review-harness.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.

Auto Review

Run the bundled structured review helper as the default code-review closeout. Codex is the default engine; use Claude or a panel only when the user asks or material risk warrants it.

Core Workflow

  1. Select the real target:
    • dirty working tree: --mode local
    • branch or PR: --mode branch --base <actual-base>
    • committed change: --mode commit --commit <ref>
  2. Run ~/.agents/skills/autoreview/scripts/autoreview with that target. Pass the task intent and success criteria through --prompt or --prompt-file whenever they are available.
  3. Verify findings against the real code path, demonstrated contracts, and task intent.
  4. Fix accepted blocking findings at the correct ownership boundary. P0/P1 block by default; keep P2/P3 visible but advisory.
  5. After blocking fixes, rerun focused proof and autoreview once. Continue further only while a verified P0/P1 remains unresolved.
  6. Stop when the helper exits successfully. Advisory findings do not require another round.

Read references/commands.md when choosing flags, panels, paths, or parallel test execution. Read references/failure-modes.md when a run stalls, fails, reports Gitcrawl problems, or raises provenance/security questions.

Judgment

  • Treat findings as advisory. Reject speculative risks, unrealistic edge cases, and fixes that add more complexity than value.
  • Prefer the simplest clear implementation that meets the current task and demonstrated contracts. Flag complexity that materially makes the code harder to understand, maintain, verify, or extend. Do not recommend unrelated cleanup, speculative future-proofing, or scope beyond the stated goal.
  • Prefer narrow root-cause fixes; do not broaden the refactor merely to satisfy a reviewer.
  • Flag unnecessary layers, duplicate paths, and speculative fallbacks. Prefer deleting or consolidating code.
  • Do not assume backward compatibility is required. Require evidence of a public contract, supported consumer, migration guarantee, test, or explicit user requirement before adding compatibility work.
  • Do not add fallback paths, dual implementations, compatibility shims, or migrations for hypothetical consumers.
  • Do not impose a findings cap. Use priority and impact to distinguish blocking work from advisory observations.
  • Keep web search enabled unless the user requests offline review or the material should not leave the local environment.
  • Do not override an explicitly requested engine, model, or thinking level.
  • Do not push merely to obtain a review.
  • Do not substitute review for the repository's verification path; code review does not prove product behavior.
  • Multi-reviewer panels are opt-in unless the change is high-risk or the first result needs arbitration.

Files

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

autoreview is a skill published in the GitHub repository minghinmatthewlam/agent-guards (39 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 785 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
