ase-repo-review

ase-repo-review is a skill for Claude Code from rse/ase. It costs 109 tokens per session (4,025 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A staged-change code review that examines Git changes prepared for commit and returns an approve or reject verdict. It gives findings with severity labels and references to specific lines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review the current staged diff, identify and prioritize issues, or skip source inspection when the project marks those files as a black box.
Why use it?
It helps catch problems in the changes before they are committed, without reviewing unrelated files outside the staged set.

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

ase-repo-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 today.

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.

Procedure

      1. Run the command git rev-parse --verify --quiet "<getopt-option-branch/>^{commit}". If it fails, only output the following and then STOP immediately:

      2. Determine the candidate base branches by running the command git for-each-ref --format="%(refname:short)" refs/heads/ (taken exactly as given), excluding itself. For each , run the command git rev-list --count "<candidate/>..<getopt-option-branch/>" to count the commits of the branch since its fork point from , and drop every candidate with a count of 0, as it already contains the branch. Set to the remaining candidate with the smallest count (the nearest fork point); on a tie, prefer the checked-out branch (the output of git branch --show-current), and then the first candidate. If no candidate remains, only output the following and then STOP immediately:

      3. Run the command git merge-base "<base/>" "<getopt-option-branch/>" and capture its output into .

      4. Only output the following :

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.
