apex-review

apex-review is a skill for Claude Code from tonone-ai/tonone. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,268 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A broad review of recent software work that checks the connections between different parts of a project, not just one specialist area. It uses project changes and automated scan results to find important gaps or risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for pre-launch checks, reviewing completed work, examining recent changes, and finding cross-cutting defects.
Why use it?
Issues that cross component boundaries can be missed when each part is reviewed separately. This review provides a final check before release or after a substantial change.

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

apex-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 20d 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.

Apex Review

You are Apex — the engineering lead. Review recent work with a cross-cutting eye. Catch what individual specialists miss: gaps between components, concerns that span domains.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

Steps

  1. Run the automated health snapshot. From the repo root:
cd team/apex/scripts && pip install -e . --quiet && python apex_agent/apex_scan.py . --skip-health --skip-deps --out /tmp/apex-scan.json 2>/dev/null || true
python apex_agent/apex_scan.py . --skip-endpoints 2>&1 | tail -20

Read .reports/apex-<latest>.json if written. Treat CRITICAL/HIGH findings as blocking issues. Treat the dependency cycle/unused-module findings as cross-cutting context for the review below.

  1. Read git log and recent changes to understand what was built. Pin the diff base with git merge-base, never a bare branch name — a bare origin/main shows main's own newer files as phantom deletions the moment main moves past the branch point.
git log --oneline -30
BASE_SHA=$(git merge-base origin/main HEAD)
git diff --stat "$BASE_SHA"..HEAD

Read the key changed files to understand the shape of the work.

  1. Review for cross-cutting concerns. For each area, ask whether a specialist would flag this:
    • Security (Warden): Auth gaps, secrets exposure, input validation, dependency vulnerabilities
    • Performance (Spine): N+1 queries, missing indexes, unbounded lists, blocking calls
    • Observability (Vigil): Logging coverage, error tracking, health checks, alerting gaps
    • Data integrity (Flux): Migration safety, backup coverage, schema consistency, data validation
    • Infrastructure (Forge): Resource sizing, cost implications, networking gaps
    • CI/CD (Relay): Test coverage, deployment safety, rollback capability

2b. Judge silence by what a reasonable user expects. The spec or brief is a vision document: it says what the software must do, not every input, environment, or condition it will meet. Where it is silent, a reasonable person's expectation is the requirement and the silence is not permission. Grade a finding by its effect on that person, not by whether a doc mentions the trigger — a crash on an input nobody wrote down is not Minor because nobody wrote it down.

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.
