version-control-review

version-control-review is a skill for Claude Code from soden46/engineer-flow. It costs 27 tokens per session (339 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of practices for inspecting code changes and managing version-control work such as commits, branches, merges, and reviews.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review changes, prepare coherent commits, resolve merges, check branches, and verify work before it is integrated.
Why use it?
It helps catch regressions, security or data problems, test gaps, conflicts, and unrelated changes before merging.

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

version-control-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 1mo 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

version-control-review

Use this skill for code review, change inspection, commits, merges, branch workflows, and review preparation.

Code Review

Evaluate:

  • correctness
  • regressions
  • security impact
  • data integrity
  • tests
  • maintainability
  • scope creep

Prioritize behavior-affecting problems over style preferences.

Review changed behavior in context, not only individual lines.

Changes

Keep commits coherent where practical.

Avoid mixing unrelated changes.

Before merging:

  • ensure conflicts are resolved intentionally
  • run relevant verification
  • inspect unexpected generated or configuration changes

Do not rewrite shared history without understanding the collaboration impact.

Adaptation

Use project evidence to determine the actual language, framework, runtime, and existing conventions.

When stack-specific implementation guidance is needed, prefer project evidence, native framework or language mechanisms, and relevant user-installed specialist skills. Technology-specific guidance must not redefine or weaken the core engineering requirement.

Absorbed Legacy Capability: code-review

The following framework-agnostic knowledge was preserved from the previous Engineer Flow capability during consolidation.

Code Review

Prioritize findings over summaries.

  • Look for bugs, regressions, security issues, and missing tests.
  • Ground findings in files, commands, or observable behavior.
  • Order issues by severity.
  • State residual risk when checks are incomplete.
  • Keep style-only comments secondary.
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.
