receiving-code-review

receiving-code-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wazimmerman/zimster. It costs 24 tokens per session (456 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for checking software code-review comments against the actual code and requirements. It explains how to classify findings, prove real defects, fix accepted problems, and preserve evidence after corrections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate review findings, reproduce suspected bugs, add tests for valid defects, apply fixes in batches, and prepare evidence for a follow-up review.
Why use it?
It helps developers avoid accepting or rejecting review comments based only on tone or authority. Each decision is tied to a technical consequence and supporting proof.

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

receiving-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 7d 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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Receiving Code Review

Review is independent evidence, not an authority ritual. Neither accept nor reject a finding based on tone, model identity, or inconvenience.

Process each finding

  1. Restate the technical claim.
  2. Locate the cited code and requirement.
  3. Reproduce or reason through the consequence.
  4. Classify it as valid, invalid, ambiguous, plan-conflicting, or missing evidence.
  5. Record the decision and proof.

Ask for clarification only when the finding cannot be made testable from its current wording.

Valid findings

Combine related Critical and Important findings into one correction wave. Ordinary accepted findings do not require separate user authorization for each deterministic local correction; use the configured correction-commit budget. Write or strengthen a failing proof where behavior is defective, then fix the underlying invariant. Run focused covering tests and affected integration checks.

A correction invalidates every affected evidence receipt and the prior exact-head semantic approval. Update the requirement-to-evidence matrix and review package for the corrected head before requesting the bounded recheck.

Do not make one agent or commit per finding when one owner understands the shared cause. Rejecting delegated implementation returns the correction to that owner; it does not automatically dispatch another implementer or alter routing policy.

Pushback

Push back when evidence shows the reviewer is wrong or the proposed fix would violate the mission. Cite:

  • exact requirement or interface;
  • code location;
  • focused test or experiment;
  • alternative interpretation and consequence.

“It's intentional,” “the plan said so,” and “tests pass” are not sufficient by themselves.

Contradictions

A real conflict between the review and an approved requirement belongs to the mission owner. Present both texts and the technical consequence. Do not quietly change product behavior to satisfy a generic rubric.

Recheck

Return the original finding batch and fix range to the same reviewer for one resumed recheck. If a load-bearing dispute remains, use the review circuit breaker rather than seeking fresh reviewers until one agrees.

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.

receiving-code-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository wazimmerman/zimster (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 456 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
