code-review

A review process for checking complex software changes after implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing completed development work, applying confirmed fixes, and checking the result with tests or builds.
Why use it?
It helps find real problems, verify proposed fixes, and rerun the project's checks before completion.

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

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 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.

Code Review After Completing Complex Software Development Tasks

Run a structured review over the changes in scope. Two modes:

  • Reviewing work you just completed, or told to fix - review, then apply and verify the fixes.
  • Asked only to review - stop at clear, actionable feedback and let the user decide what to act on. Don't start editing.

Workflow

  1. Spawn parallel sub-agents to critically review the changes, splitting the work by review axis (below) or by area of the codebase.
  2. Compile their findings into a concise numbered list, each tagged critical/medium/low.
  3. Verify every finding against the actual code before reporting or acting on it. Sub-agents report false positives, and acting on a phantom issue makes the code worse.

Applying Fixes

Fix mode only. If you were asked only to review, stop at step 3 and report your findings.

  1. Fix the confirmed issues.
  2. Re-run the project's lint/test/build pipeline.
  3. Read each fix to confirm it resolves its finding and didn't break the original task or introduce a new problem. A green pipeline proves mechanical correctness only.
  4. Stop after this single verification pass; don't recurse into a fresh full review.

If a finding is especially complex or keeps recurring, use the systematic-debugging skill to get to the root cause.

Review Axes

Direct sub-agents to evaluate the changes across these dimensions. The questions below are illustrative, not a fixed checklist. Apply the ones that fit and raise the concerns that actually matter for this codebase's language, domain, and conventions:

  • Correctness - Does it do what the task required? Are edge cases (null, empty, boundary) and error paths handled, not just the happy path? Do the tests actually exercise the new behaviour?
  • Readability - Are names and control flow clear to someone who didn't write this? Could it be simpler or shorter? Is each abstraction earning its complexity?
  • Architecture - Does it follow existing patterns and module boundaries, or introduce a new one without justification? Is there duplication that should be shared? A new dependency the existing stack already covers?
  • Security - Is untrusted input validated at boundaries? Any secrets in code or logs? Any injection (SQL, shell, path), missing authorisation checks, or external data used unsafely in logic or output?
  • Performance - What's costly for this kind of code: algorithmic complexity, repeated work or allocations in hot paths, N+1 queries, unbounded fetches, missing pagination, synchronous behaviour or blocking work on the critical path?

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.

code-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository sammcj/agentic-coding (158 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 1,563 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
