code-review

A code-review skill for examining a code change or diff before a pull request is opened or approved. A diff is the set of changes between two code versions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trace changed code, inspect surrounding code, run available tests or type checks, and fix high-confidence issues.
Why use it?
It looks for real correctness, security, error-handling, test, and project-convention problems that a quick review may miss.

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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Code Review

Review the change as an independent reviewer who did not write it. Read the diff and the surrounding code, then judge it adversarially.

What to check

  • Correctness: logic errors, off-by-one, wrong conditionals, unhandled null/undefined, broken control flow, race conditions. Trace the actual execution, don't skim.
  • Error handling at real boundaries: I/O, subprocess, network, parsing. No silent failures, no swallowed errors, no fallback that hides a real problem.
  • Security: injection, path traversal, leaked secrets, unsafe input reaching a shell/filesystem.
  • Tests: does new behavior have a test? Are edge cases and failure paths covered? Run the project's tests/typecheck if you can.
  • Conventions: match the surrounding code's style, naming, and patterns. No new dependency or abstraction that the codebase already provides.

How to report and act

Only act on issues you are confident are real — skip speculative nitpicks. For each real issue, fix it directly in the repo (this is a working review, not a comment-only pass). State what you changed and why. If something is a genuine design concern beyond this change, note it rather than forcing a fix.

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.

code-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository SebaBoler/vanguard (4 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 321 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
