operating-code-review

A read-only code review guide for examining diffs, pull requests, migrations, and software architecture. It reports evidence-backed problems by severity and identifies what was and was not reviewed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect changed code, trace related callers and tests, challenge root-cause explanations, and get specific corrections for each finding.
Why use it?
It helps catch defects and unsupported assumptions without changing the files being reviewed.

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

operating-code-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 3d 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 — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Code review

Review only. Do not modify code unless the user explicitly changes the task.

Scope

Read the requested diff plus the smallest sufficient callers, consumers, contracts, tests, configuration, schemas, generated behavior, and one analogous sibling. Treat the author's explanation and previous findings as leads, not proof.

Load specialized References only when Diff Facts require them:

Finding standard

A finding must include:

  • severity: Critical, High, Medium, or Low;
  • exact file and line/symbol;
  • failure mode and triggering conditions;
  • evidence from a code path, contract mismatch, reproduction, or missing durable test;
  • the smallest concrete correction;
  • confidence: verified, strongly inferred, or uncertain.

Do not report style preferences as defects. Separate questions and optional improvements from findings.

Review method

Start from the failure surface and trace ownership, callers, and consumers. Read the full relevant diff. Compare it with source-of-truth schemas, manifests, docs, CI, and tests. Attempt to disprove the strongest completion claim and test negative paths, cleanup, retries, cancellation, timeouts, partial failure, and mixed versions as applicable.

A guard, flag, journal, abstraction, or workflow step earns its place only when the review can name the observable failure, owning boundary, executable enforcement, regression proof, and decision it changes.

For a defect repair, require:

ROOT_CAUSE_ALIGNMENT: PASS | FAIL | NOT_APPLICABLE

Files

What ships with it

5 files 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.

Changes

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.

operating-code-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository qingye-lab/rootloom (7 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 607 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.
