requesting-code-review

requesting-code-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from transparent-pegasus/herdrpowers. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,343 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for requesting an independent review of completed work, major features, or changes before merging. It sends the review through a reset session so the reviewer sees the work without the implementer's reasoning history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Ask a designated agent to review a task or whole branch, using the configured review assignments and reporting any findings before merge.
Why use it?
It catches problems before they spread or reach the main branch and reduces the risk of approving work based only on the author's own check.

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

requesting-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 4d 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 — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Requesting Code Review

Placeholder resolution: <KEY> placeholders in this file (such as <BASE_BRANCH>) resolve from the Herdrpowers Configuration section of the repository's CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md. If that section is missing, initialize it with the pack's init workflow (/herdrpowers:init on Claude Code plugin installs; commands/init.md otherwise).

Delegate the review to a herdr sibling pane via a reset-backed submit to catch issues before they cascade. The reviewing pane starts from a reset session, so it sees the work product and never the implementer's thought process — that is where review independence comes from in this pack, not from a separate named agent or a different pane ID.

Core principle: Review early, review often. Do not review your own work inside an unreset session. A reset-backed delegation may reuse any idle pane of the resolved role's agent type(s), including the pane that wrote the code.

Gate: the whole-branch review this skill requests is the assignments.final-branch-review gate; per-task reviews are assignments.task-review. Both resolve from .herdrpowers/config.yaml over the pack's orchestration/roles.yaml defaults — see "Delegation tasks and their assignments" in orchestration. When the resolved role binds to a list of agent types, the review runs once per entry, in separate panes, and their findings merge into one list. A disabled gate means the review does not run and the final report says so. It never means an unreset implementing session reviews itself.

When to Request Review

Mandatory:

  • After each task in pane-driven development
  • After completing a major feature
  • Before merge to the base branch

Optional but valuable:

  • When stuck (fresh perspective)
  • Before refactoring (baseline check)
  • After fixing a complex bug

How to Request

1. Record the range and build the diff package:

BASE_SHA=$(git merge-base <BASE_BRANCH> HEAD)   # or the commit recorded before the task
HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
../pane-driven-development/scripts/review-package "$PLAN_FILE" "$BASE_SHA" "$HEAD_SHA"   # prints the path

PLAN_FILE scopes the package to that plan's workspace. In plan-less flows (/quick, ad-hoc reviews) pass -. The package never enters your own context — you pass the path, the pane reads the file.

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.
