autoreview

autoreview is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from simonrowland/goal-flight. It costs 32 tokens per session (2,422 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured code review performed before committing or shipping changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review local or pull-request branches after substantial edits and identify fixes before release.
Why use it?
It provides an additional check for bugs and risks, while requiring each suggested issue to be verified against the actual code.

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

autoreview 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/test-review-harness.ps1, scripts/test-review-harness.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Auto Review

Run the bundled structured review helper as a closeout check (code review, not approval routing).

Codex review is the default when no engine is set. It usually delivers the best review results and should remain the normal final closeout engine.

Use when:

  • user asks for Codex review / Claude review / autoreview / second-model review
  • after non-trivial code edits, before final/commit/ship
  • reviewing a local branch or PR branch after fixes

Contract

  • Treat review output as advisory. Never blindly apply it.
  • Verify every finding by reading the real code path and adjacent files.
  • Read dependency docs/source/types when the finding depends on external behavior.
  • Reject unrealistic edge cases, speculative risks, broad rewrites, and fixes that over-complicate the codebase.
  • Prefer small fixes at the right ownership boundary; no refactor unless it clearly improves the bug class.
  • When an accepted finding shows a bug class or repeated pattern, inspect the current PR scope for sibling instances before fixing.
  • Fix the scoped bug class at once when practical; stop at touched surfaces, owner boundaries, and clear follow-up territory.
  • Keep going until structured review returns no accepted/actionable findings.
  • If a review-triggered fix changes code, rerun focused tests and rerun the structured review helper.
  • For security-audit suppression changes, verify accepted findings remain auditable: suppressed findings stay in structured output, active output keeps an unsuppressible suppression notice, and aggregate findings cannot hide unrelated active risk.
  • Never switch or override the requested review engine/model. If the review hits model capacity, retry the same command a few times with the same engine/model.
  • Be patient with large bundles. Structured review can take up to 30 minutes while the model call is active, especially with Codex tools or web search.
  • Treat heartbeat lines like review still running: ... elapsed=... pid=... as healthy progress, not a hang. Let the helper continue while heartbeats are advancing. Pass --stream-engine-output when live engine text is useful; Codex and Claude filter tool/file chatter, other engines pass raw output through.
  • Do not kill a review just because it has been quiet for 2-5 minutes, or because it is still running under the 30-minute window. Inspect the process only after missing multiple expected heartbeats, after 30 minutes, or after an obviously failed subprocess; prefer letting the same helper command finish.
  • Tools are useful in review mode. The helper allows read-only inspection tools and web search by default so reviewers can check dependency contracts, upstream docs, and current behavior.
  • Security perspective is always included, but it should not cripple legitimate functionality. Report security findings only when the change creates a concrete, actionable risk or removes an important safety check.
  • For regression provenance, keep roles separate: blamed code author, blamed PR author, PR merger/committer, current PR author, and PR/date. If no blamed PR is traceable, use the blamed commit as the provenance: commit SHA, date, and author username. Do not guess a merger or frame missing PR metadata as a separate finding.
  • If the blamed PR was merged by an automation/bot account or another automation, identify the human trigger when practical. Check timeline/comments first; if rate-limited, use a GitHub cache or public PR HTML. Look for maintainer commands such as @<bot> automerge, /landpr, or labels/status comments that armed automerge. Report automerge triggered by @login; if not found, say trigger unknown.
  • Do not invoke built-in codex review, nested reviewers, or reviewer panels from inside the review. The helper builds one bundle, calls one selected engine, validates one structured result, and stops.
  • Stop as soon as the helper exits 0 with no accepted/actionable findings. Do not run an extra review just to get a nicer "clean" line, a second opinion, or clearer closeout wording.
  • Treat the helper's successful exit plus absence of actionable findings as the clean review result, even if the underlying Codex CLI output is terse.
  • Multi-reviewer panels are opt-in only. Use them when explicitly requested or when risk justifies the extra spend; the main agent still verifies every accepted finding before fixing.
  • If rejecting a finding as intentional/not worth fixing, add a brief inline code comment only when it explains a real invariant or ownership decision that future reviewers should know.
  • Do not push just to review. Push only when the user requested push/ship/PR update.

autoreview is a skill published in the GitHub repository simonrowland/goal-flight (20 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 2,422 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 2026-08-30.
