rad-code-review

rad-code-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from RadOrigin-LLC/RAD-Claude-Skills. It costs 172 tokens per session (4,210 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A code-review helper for checking a Git branch or pull request before it is merged or deployed. It combines general bug finding with mechanical checks, saved findings, severity labels, and specialist checks for AI-generated code, access-control bugs, and backend security.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review branch changes, uncommitted work, or a GitHub pull request for bugs, code-quality issues, and security risks before release.
Why use it?
It helps catch problems consistently and remember findings between reviews. It also gives security-related issues a clear way to be classified and tracked.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: allowed-tools in frontmatter, but also runs codex exec. Also seen: mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool; positional $N argument.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

rad-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 10d 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 — 287 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

What this is. The built-in /code-review is the review engine — 8–10 parallel finders, verification with evidence-quoted verdicts, --fix, --comment. This skill does not compete with it. It rides it, and adds what it doesn't have: mechanical checks, findings memory across runs, a severity taxonomy, and the specialist lanes (AI slop, framework IDOR, BaaS/RLS).

Scope. Diff, branch, or PR only. Default scope matches the engine's: the current branch's commits ahead of its upstream plus uncommitted changes (working diff only when there is no upstream). --since <commit> reviews a branch range; a bare <pr#> reviews a GitHub PR. There is no full-repo mode; for a whole-repo deep dive use /code-review ultra or run this skill per directory-scoped diff.

Naming. Finding IDs are CR-NNN, assigned and persisted mechanically by scripts/findings-index.py — the same finding keeps the same ID across runs. Config (.radcrconfig.yml) and state (.radcr/) keep the radcr prefix; renaming them would break existing per-repo state for zero readability gain.

Effort and cost contract

Mode Engine level Lane pass Security scanner Expected cost profile
quick low validator only, no lane subagent never seconds; near-zero beyond engine
standard (default) medium 1 lane subagent, session model only with explicit --scan one engine run + one subagent
deep xhigh 1 lane subagent + --security-deep rules if flagged yes, when available the expensive one; say so before running

Before running deep, tell the user it is the expensive mode and confirm. No mode loads more than the references its lanes need: the slop lane always, IDOR/BaaS references only on stack match, security-deep-mode.md only on flag.

standard and deep also run the cross-model Codex pass (Step 4.5) as the default adversarial reviewer — an independent GPT-5.5 second opinion via the rad-codex plugin. It adds a few minutes and consumes Codex quota, and skips itself silently when Codex isn't installed. --no-codex disables it; quick never runs it.

deep (and --security-deep at any mode) additionally runs the security scanner pass (Step 4.6) — the external codex-security CLI, a purpose-built security scanner, as an evidence source for the --security-deep phases. It is strictly optional: no binary, no auth, or a failed preflight means the pass skips and security-deep-mode.md runs entirely on the lane subagent as before. It costs real money, so it runs under a hard --max-cost ceiling (default $2.00, defaults.security_scan_max_cost). --no-scan disables it; --scan forces it on in standard; --scan-max-cost <usd> overrides the ceiling for one run. The full contract lives in workflows/security-scan.md — that file is the only place in this plugin that may shell out to codex-security.

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.
