Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00115 | $0.00696 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00057 | $0.00348 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00139 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00070 |
Grade A, and why
squad-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 9d 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 — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Squad Review
Six lenses in parallel, each finding then attacked by a verifier that assumes it is wrong until proven otherwise. The verification is the point: an unverified fan-out produces six sections of plausible noise, and you stop reading it by the third review.
Run it
Resolve the script path, then hand it to the Workflow tool:
echo ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/squad-review/scripts/workflow.js
Workflow({
scriptPath: "<the path printed above>",
args: { scope: "<git command>", label: "<human description>" }
})
Pick the scope yourself
Read the git state and choose — do not open a menu:
- On a feature branch with commits →
git diff main...HEAD(the normal case) - On main, or a branch with only uncommitted work →
git diff HEAD - Untracked files present and relevant → name them in
labelso reviewers read them in full; a diff won't show them - Nothing to review → say so and stop, don't launch the workflow
Ask only when two scopes both have substantial content and you genuinely can't tell which one the user means. If the user named a scope, use it.
Report the result
findings are ranked and already verified. Present them grouped by severity, not
by lens — the lens is metadata, not structure. Lead with blockers. Give each
finding its file:line, what breaks, and the fix direction.
Three fields decide whether the review can be trusted, and all three must reach the user:
refuted— say how many and why, in one line. That number is the evidence verification happened. Hiding it makes this look like every other review.unverified— findings whose verifier never ruled on them. Report them under a separate heading that says exactly that. They have not survived a skeptic, so never merge them into the findings list.lenses_failed— non-empty means the review is incomplete. Name the lenses that died. Never present a partial review as a clean bill of health.
Do not re-rank or soften what the verifiers confirmed, and do not write the report to a file unless asked.
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

squad-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository nicknisi/claude-plugins (114 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 115 tokens to every session and 696 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
