code-review-python

A code-review guide for Python, a programming language used for web services, scripts, and data tools. It checks type annotations, asynchronous code, mutable default values, thread safety, and business models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review Python pull requests and changes, inspect project settings, and find problems involving types, async operations, shared state between threads, default values, or domain models.
Why use it?
It focuses review on Python-specific mistakes that general code checks may overlook. It also keeps the review within the requested files or current changes.

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-python 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Code Review — Python

Apply Python-specific linting using the checklist in this skill directory.

Step 0 — Load Project Map

Check for .agentic/project-map.md:

  • If present: read it. Use the layer structure, key modules table, and non-obvious conventions it defines to orient all findings. Skip redundant filesystem exploration.
  • If absent: run lightweight auto-discovery:
    • Read pyproject.toml to identify dependencies and build system
    • Detect framework (FastAPI, Django, Typer, etc.) from dependencies
    • List top-level src/ or app directories
    • Suggest running the project-map skill after this review to avoid this overhead next time

Step 1 — Load Checklist

Read checklist.md in this skill directory and apply every item to the codebase.

Step 2 — Determine Scope

  • If the user specifies files, review those.
  • Otherwise review the current diff: git diff HEAD or staged changes.
  • Do not review files outside stated scope.

Step 3 — Analyze with Python-specific Lenses

Work through the checklist systematically. For each issue found, note:

  • File path and line number
  • Risk level: critical / high / medium / low
  • Description of the issue
  • Why it matters
  • Verifiable source reference when the finding is non-obvious

Focus particularly on:

  • Type annotation completeness and mypy strict mode violations
  • Mutable default arguments
  • Async/blocking I/O in coroutines
  • Threading safety issues
  • Domain modeling with dataclasses/Pydantic

Step 4 — Write the Review

Output the review in this exact format:

## Code Review — Python

### What Works Well
- [At least one specific positive observation with file reference]

### Findings

#### Critical
- `path/to/file.py:42` [critical] Description. Why it must change. *Source: [PEP 484 — Type Hints](https://peps.python.org/pep-0484/)*

#### High
- `path/to/file.py:18` [high] Description. Why it matters. *Source: ...*

#### Medium
- `path/to/file.py:7` [medium] Description.

#### Low
- `path/to/file.py:5` [low] Minor note.

### Suggested Improvements
[Concrete alternatives and solutions for the most impactful findings]

### Summary
[One paragraph: overall quality, main risks, merge recommendation]

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

code-review-python is a skill published in the GitHub repository soulcodex/agentic (10 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 807 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
