mav-bp-code-review

mav-bp-code-review is a skill for Claude Code from thermiteau/maverick. It costs 43 tokens per session (777 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for reviewing code changes before they are merged into a shared codebase. It defines review requirements, the proper scope, pull-request size, reviewer duties, author duties, and automated review checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing pull requests, deciding what reviewers should check, setting approval requirements, or integrating automated code review.
Why use it?
It helps teams catch correctness, maintainability, testing, and documentation problems before merging. It also separates blocking issues from optional suggestions and prevents bypassing required checks.

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

mav-bp-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 10d 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.

Code Review Standards

Ensure all code changes are reviewed before merging; in Maverick the reviewer is agent-code-reviewer running in-session, backed by branch-protection gates.

Maverick's Rules

  • No unreviewed merges: at least one approval on protected branches; no self-approval; stale approvals are dismissed when new commits are pushed; all CI checks must pass. Never disable or skip a check to merge faster — fix the check or the code.
  • Security is out of scope for PR review — it runs as a separate pre-push gate via do-cybersecurity-review (update mode against the diff and impact set) before the PR is opened. By review time, security findings are already surfaced and folded into the PR body.
  • Review scope: correctness, maintainability, test coverage, documentation. Style and formatting are the linter's job — do not comment on them. Do not review generated code (codegen, lockfiles) line by line, and do not request changes to correct-but-different approaches on personal preference.
  • Verdict discipline: distinguish blocking findings from non-blocking (prefix "nit:" or "optional:"); demonstrate understanding of the change rather than rubber-stamping; approve once the code is correct, tested, and maintainable — do not hold changes hostage for perfection. AI review findings require judgement — dismiss false positives with reasoning, never silently.
  • Automated checks pass before review begins — do not review code that fails lint, type checks, or tests.

PR Size

Size Lines changed Review quality Recommendation
Small < 100 Excellent Ideal. Aim for this size.
Medium 100 - 400 Good Acceptable for most feature work.
Large 400 - 800 Declining Split if possible. Flag to reviewers.
Too large > 800 Poor Must split. Reviewers cannot effectively review this.

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.
