review

review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nick-railsback/skill-engine. It costs 33 tokens per session (2,229 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review step for a proposed change to a contextualizer, which is a tool that prepares reference information for an agent. It shows the proposal and records the user's approval or disagreements before the change is applied.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after discovery or refresh creates a proposed context directory, to inspect the files, answer the review questions, and sign off on the proposal.
Why use it?
It prevents an unreviewed proposal from changing the live contextualizer and gives the user a structured way to define what good output looks like.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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 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 4d 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 — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review

A pending proposal lives at <install>/<name>-context.proposed/. This skill inspects that staging directory without mutating either it or the live contextualizer at <install>/<name>-context/. The user's review is what teaches the engine what "good" means for this source — review is the surface that loads the question, not a rubber stamp on a pre-committed artifact.

When to invoke

Invoke /skill-engine:review <name> after DISCOVER or REFRESH has surfaced a "Proposal staged at <name>-context.proposed/" line in its post-run summary. The skill runs in two passes against the same proposal: the first pass prints the manifest, the configured diff command, and the path to REVIEW.md; the second pass (after the user fills Step 1 of REVIEW.md) re-reads the file, generates the Step 2 disagreement set, and rewrites that section in place.

Resolving <name>

The <name> argument is the contextualizer slug without the -context suffix. /skill-engine:review vitejs-vite operates on <install>/vitejs-vite-context.proposed/.

Bare invocation (no argument) works when exactly one *-context.proposed/ directory exists under <install>. When zero match, surface no proposed staging dir found under <install> and exit cleanly. When two or more match, surface the list and ask which one (mirrors discover/SKILL.md's "Multiple contextualizers" pattern).

Resolve <install> from the live contextualizer location. The proposed directory always sits as a sibling of the live <name>-context/ directory; <install> is whichever level the live skill is installed at (~/.claude/skills/, ~/.claude/local/skills/, or <repo>/.claude/skills/). Iterate the same three roots using-skill-engine's router walks (see the "Locating the contextualizer root" block in discover/SKILL.md); the first match wins.

First pass — manifest and diff command

When REVIEW.md exists but Step 1 still contains the literal ___ blanks (i.e., the user has not yet filled their predictions), do the following in order:

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.

review is a skill published in the GitHub repository nick-railsback/skill-engine (2 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 2,229 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 2026-08-31.
