code-review-assistant

code-review-assistant is a skill for Claude Code from timwukp/agent-skills-best-practice. It costs 57 tokens per session (984 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review guide that examines code changes for security, speed, and ease of maintenance. It can review a pull request, file, or module and return structured findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a pull request, check changed files, or inspect a module for issues such as injection risks, exposed secrets, missing access checks, repeated database queries, and code anti-patterns.
Why use it?
It helps catch common security weaknesses, slow database patterns, and hard-to-maintain code before changes are merged. It also gives reviews a consistent checklist.

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-assistant 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 9d 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 Assistant

Instructions

Step 1: Gather Context

Before reviewing, determine:

  1. What language and framework is the code written in?
  2. Is this a PR diff, a single file, or a full module?
  3. What is the review scope? (Security | Performance | Maintainability | All)

If reviewing a PR, ask for the diff or file list. If a single file, ask for the surrounding context (what calls it, what it calls).

Step 2: Security Analysis

Check for these categories in order of severity:

Critical:

  • SQL injection (string concatenation in queries)
  • Command injection (unsanitized shell commands)
  • Path traversal (user input in file paths without validation)
  • Hardcoded secrets (API keys, passwords, tokens)

High:

  • Missing authentication/authorization checks
  • Insecure deserialization
  • SSRF vulnerabilities (user-controlled URLs)
  • Missing input validation on public endpoints

Medium:

  • Missing rate limiting on public APIs
  • Verbose error messages leaking internals
  • Missing CSRF protection
  • Insecure random number generation for security contexts

Step 3: Performance Review

Look for:

  1. N+1 queries - database calls inside loops
  2. Unbounded collections - loading all records without pagination
  3. Missing indexes - queries filtering on non-indexed columns
  4. Unnecessary allocations - creating objects in hot paths
  5. Blocking I/O - synchronous calls in async contexts
  6. Missing caching - repeated expensive computations with same inputs

Step 4: SOLID Principles Check

Evaluate each principle:

Principle Red Flag
Single Responsibility Class has multiple reasons to change
Open/Closed Modifying existing code instead of extending
Liskov Substitution Subclass breaks parent contract
Interface Segregation Forcing implementation of unused methods
Dependency Inversion High-level module depends on concrete class

Only flag violations that cause real maintainability problems, not theoretical ones.

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.
