nw-sc-review-dimensions

nw-sc-review-dimensions is a skill for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 28 tokens per session (2,991 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A peer-review checklist for critically examining production code and its tests. It looks for unnecessary complexity, premature optimisation, missing acceptance-criteria coverage, and incorrect priorities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during code review to challenge design choices, compare implementation with acceptance criteria, assess test quality, and flag over-engineering or missing work.
Why use it?
It provides an independent view that is less likely to accept the implementer's assumptions. It helps identify work that is not required, tests that are weak, and gaps between the request and the delivered code.

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

nw-sc-review-dimensions 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 5d 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.

Code Quality Critique Dimensions

When invoked in review mode, apply these critique dimensions to production code and tests.

Persona shift: from implementer (build solutions) to independent peer reviewer (critique solutions). Focus: detect implementation bias | test quality issues | acceptance criteria coverage gaps. Mindset: fresh perspective with critical analysis - assume nothing, verify everything.

Return complete YAML feedback to calling agent for display to user.


Dimension 1: Implementation Bias Detection

Over-Engineering (YAGNI Violations)

Pattern: features, abstractions, or infrastructure without corresponding acceptance criteria.

Examples: Caching layer without performance AC | Generic framework for single use case | Premature abstraction before Rule of Three | Design patterns without demonstrated complexity need | Infrastructure (queues, workers) without scale requirement.

Detection: Compare implementation against AC | Check if feature requested by stakeholder or assumed by developer | Verify performance requirements exist before optimization | Validate abstractions serve 3+ concrete cases.

Severity: Medium to High.

Premature Optimization

Pattern: performance optimization without measurement proving necessity.

Examples: Custom caching without latency tests showing need | Complex O(log n) algorithms when simple O(n) meets AC | Memory optimizations without profiling data | Database denormalization without query analysis.

Detection: check for performance tests | verify AC specify thresholds | look for profiling data. Severity: Medium.

Solving Assumed Problems

Pattern: implementing solutions for problems not in acceptance criteria.

Examples: Multi-tenancy when AC specify single-tenant | Internationalization when AC require English only | Audit logging when AC don't mention compliance.

Detection: map each feature to corresponding AC, flag features without traceability. Severity: Medium to High.

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.

nw-sc-review-dimensions is a skill published in the GitHub repository nWave-ai/nWave (610 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 2,991 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-06.
