chad-review

chad-review is a skill for Claude Code from psd401/psd-claude-plugins. It costs 267 tokens per session (2,384 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A review process that rewrites an artifact in plainer, more practical language after examining it from the viewpoint of a blunt intended reader. An artifact can be code, documentation, a prompt, a skill, or other written or visual work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing and simplifying code-related instructions, documentation, prompts, diagrams, landing pages, and other project materials.
Why use it?
It removes unnecessary clever wording and exposes parts that do not clearly help the reader complete their job.

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 C, and why

chad-review scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 14d 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- **The clone step runs `rm -rf`.** `workflows/chad-review.js` clones with `rm -rf "<path>-clone" && cp -R "<path>" "<path>-clone"` (or `cloneTo` if you supply it). Anything already sitting at that `-clone` path is destr

Chad Review — strip the showing-off, keep the job

Attribution. Vendored from the chad-review plugin by Nityesh Agarwal (upstream v0.5.0, vendored 2026-08-18). Upstream declared no license at the time of vendoring. The workflow script workflows/chad-review.js is an unmodified copy; this SKILL.md carries PSD-specific notes marked below.

SOTA AI models show off: they reach for the clever word, the metaphor, the caveat nobody needed, the little bit of self-narration — because they don't trust the material to be interesting on its own. Chad is the antidote. This skill runs him on a clone and hands you the plainer version, the full comment trail, and whatever the review couldn't settle.

The two mindsets

Chad is the artifact's intended audience wearing the meme personality: he meets it cold, with a job to do, and asks dumb questions out loud without a flicker of shame — because looking dumb costs nothing and getting to the point is everything. He gets exactly one piece of context, the crux — the job he came to get done. He reviews in depth, every part and piece, and leaves specific feedback comments; his last comment is always a bird's-eye view of the whole thing (too long? too busy? wrong shape? or does it land?). He doesn't rewrite; he comments.

The defender owns the artifact and ships it. Chad is an asset, not an opponent: a bullshit detector running before the real world does, and every comment is a free preview of where the artifact fails the person it's for. He addresses every comment — the bird's-eye included — either by fixing the artifact or by rejecting the comment with a reason written to Chad. The bird's-eye comment is about the shape of the whole and deserves a whole-shaped answer: reorganize, merge parts that do the same job, remove a part whose job the rest already does. Repetition is a structure smell — the fix for the same thing said in three places is one home for it, not three local edits.
