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 B, and why

update-review-checklist scanned grade B 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 11d 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.

Recursive force deletemediumDestructive command

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

# `trap 'rm -rf "$WORKDIR"' EXIT` here would silently strand the checklist

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 439 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DLC: Update Review Checklist

Cluster recurring reviewer themes across recent merged PRs and open a PR that proposes new entries for the target repo's docs/code-review-checklist.md. The skill never auto-merges — every proposal is human-reviewed.

Standalone: /dlc:update-review-checklist [<owner>/<repo>] [--lookback 30d] [--threshold 2] [--dry-run] [--unattended]

Scheduled (recommended monthly cadence):

/schedule '0 0 1 * *' /dlc:update-review-checklist <owner>/<repo>

Why This Matters

A docs/code-review-checklist.md doc decays without a forcing function. Manual curation lapses after the first few months and the checklist drifts away from what reviewers are actually catching in PRs. Reviewer attention is the most expensive resource on the team — when the same class of finding shows up in two or more PRs, the checklist deserves an entry so the next author catches it before review.

The recurring nature is the entire signal. A one-off finding is noise; a finding that recurs across multiple PRs is a pattern. Monthly cadence gives enough signal to cluster without flooding the checklist with low-recurrence entries. A run that finds zero promotable clusters is a healthy result — it means recent reviews have surfaced novel issues, not the same ones again.

Notification Rules

PushNotification fires only for terminal states that benefit the user knowing about:

  • pr_opened — a checklist update PR was opened (include the PR URL)
  • pending_human — under --unattended, clusters that need a human call were skipped
  • Errors that block the run (missing prerequisites, GitHub API failures)

Routine outcomes (no clusters found, missing checklist file, dry-run with nothing to propose) are silent — printed to stdout but not pushed. This keeps the monthly scheduled cadence quiet by default and noisy only when there is something to act on.

Step 0: Parse Arguments

Capture the original calling directory once, before any later step changes cwd into a clone:

What ships with it

2 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.
