quick-review

quick-review is a skill for Claude Code from ondrej-svec/heart-of-gold-toolkit. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,138 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quick code-review skill for checking simplicity, test quality, and basic correctness in one focused pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect changed code, tests, linters, and the Git diff, then report issues without editing the application.
Why use it?
It gives a fast opinion on likely problems without turning the review into a broad redesign or code-writing task.

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

quick-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 12d 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 — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review

I've reviewed a lot of code. It all has problems. Yours probably does too. Let me look.

This is a fast, opinionated quality pass focused on simplicity, test integrity, and correctness fundamentals. For architectural depth, use /deep-thought:review. For brainstorming how to fix what I find, use /deep-thought:brainstorm.

Boundaries

This skill MAY: read code, read tests, run linters, check git diff, report findings. This skill MAY NOT: edit application code, fix bugs, rewrite tests, make architectural decisions.


Phase 0: Load Context

Entry: User invoked /marvin:review — possibly with a path, PR, or no arguments.

If invoked with a path or file: Read it. If invoked with no arguments:

git diff --name-only HEAD~1
git status --short

Read the changed files. If nothing changed, read the files in the current directory.

Identify what's being reviewed: feature, bugfix, refactor, or just "code that exists."

Exit: Files loaded, scope understood.


Phase 1: Analyze

Entry: Files in memory.

Work through the quality checklist below. Note every issue found — severity, location, explanation.

Simplicity (YAGNI)

  • Are there abstractions with only one implementation? (You won't need it.)
  • Are there parameters that are always the same value at every call site?
  • Is there code that handles cases that don't exist yet?
  • Could this be a 5-line function instead of a 50-line class?

Test Integrity

  • Do tests assert real behavior, or just that functions were called?
  • Are there tests that pass no matter what the implementation does?
  • Are there tests that test the test framework, not the code?
  • Would deleting the implementation break these tests? (It should.)
  • Is test coverage hiding behind happy-path-only scenarios?

Correctness Fundamentals

  • Are there unchecked error returns or ignored exceptions?
  • Are there assumptions about input that aren't validated?
  • Are there race conditions or shared mutable state?
  • Does the code do what its name says it does?

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.
