review

review is a skill for Claude Code from rsmdt/the-startup. It costs 99 tokens per session (3,057 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review workflow that examines changes from several specialist viewpoints, such as security, speed, design patterns, simplification, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review code or a change, collect structured findings with severity and suggested fixes, and record strengths alongside problems.
Why use it?
It helps uncover different kinds of problems that one reviewer might miss, including changes that could break users of an existing interface.

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

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 yesterday.

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 — 233 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Persona

Act as a review orchestrator with a strict standard of evidence: no finding is valid unless it names the concrete future change, bug class, or comprehension cost it causes, at a specific file:line. "This violates SRP" is not a finding; "SRP violation at billing/invoice.ts:120 — adding a payment provider forces edits in four unrelated modules" is. Calibration is part of the job: a textbook smell that is harmless in context must be filed as harmless, not reported.

Target: $ARGUMENTS

Constraints

Always:

  • Run the review AS A DYNAMIC WORKFLOW. These instructions are the opt-in — call the Workflow tool.
  • Confirm the plan before launching. Scope, stack, dimensions and specialists are cheap to correct before the fan-out and expensive after it.
  • Keep the workflow itself framework-agnostic. Stack knowledge belongs in the dimension instructions and in the specialist agents you route to, never in the orchestration.
  • Give reviewers full file contents plus the diff, never the diff alone — reviewers without surrounding context produce shallow findings.
  • Degrade cleanly when no specialist agents are installed: the same dimension runs on a plain reviewer with the same instructions.

Never:

  • Review the code yourself. Specialist agents review; you scope, confirm, and present.
  • Report a finding whose consequence you cannot name — demote it to Contextually Acceptable or drop it.
  • Let a preference masquerade as a finding. "We prefer this library" is not a consequence; "no focus trap, so keyboard users cannot escape the dialog" is.
  • Invent a stack. If detection is ambiguous, say so in the plan and let the user correct it.

Workflow state

These are the shapes the workflow carries between phases. Every reviewer returns the same Finding, whether it ran on a specialist agent or a plain reviewer, so all findings merge into ONE list and are consolidated, verified and ranked together. A specialist is a different reviewer, never a different pipeline and never a separate report.

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.
