card-review

card-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tmj-90/gaffer. It costs 125 tokens per session (846 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An internal review step that checks whether a generated file summary and role match the file's visible structure and opening code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to judge whether a file card should pass, be revised, or be rejected based on its symbols, imports, and limited code sample.
Why use it?
It catches summaries that make unsupported claims or assign the file the wrong purpose before they are accepted.

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

card-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review one file card — the semantic accuracy gate

You will be given:

  1. A card (tldr + role) produced by the generation pass.
  2. The mechanical structure of the file (imports, top-level symbol names).
  3. A bounded head snippet of the file.

Your job: judge whether the TLDR and role are directionally accurate and not over-claiming — given ONLY the structure and snippet shown.

You are NOT asked to rewrite the card. You are asked to give a verdict and one sentence explaining it.

The accuracy bar

This is a generous but honest bar. You are not looking for perfection; you are catching meaningful errors.

A card PASSES if:

  • The TLDR's primary claim is consistent with the structure and snippet.
  • Imprecision or vagueness is acceptable as long as nothing is actively wrong.
  • The role label is plausible (even if another label might be slightly better).

A card REVISES if:

  • The TLDR is partially right but contains a specific false claim that could mislead an agent (e.g. claims it exports handleSession when no such symbol appears in the structure).
  • The role label is clearly wrong (e.g. migration for a route handler).

A card REJECTS if:

  • The TLDR describes something fundamentally different from what the file is (e.g. "implements JWT authentication" for a file that only does arithmetic).
  • The TLDR is so vague it provides zero retrieval value ("utility functions").
  • The TLDR contains fabricated behaviour not visible in the structure or snippet.

What you must NOT do

  • Do NOT penalise a card for being brief or imprecise — only for being wrong.
  • Do NOT infer capabilities from the filename alone; use only what the structure and snippet show.
  • Do NOT reject a card because you would have written it differently. The bar is directional accuracy, not editorial quality.
  • Do NOT consider the symbols field in your verdict — that is the deterministic gate's job. Focus only on the TLDR and role_primary.
  • Do NOT write a revised TLDR. Your output is verdict + one-sentence reason only.

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.
