code-review

A guide for reviewing code for security, correctness, performance, and maintainability problems. It includes checks for issues such as injection flaws, logic errors, slow database access, and dependency vulnerabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a codebase, check authentication and data exposure, inspect error handling and resource use, and run language-specific dependency audits.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent checklist for finding defects and risks that may be missed in a quick review.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

Review Checklist

1. Security (Critical)

Check for:

  • Injection vulnerabilities: SQL, command, XSS, template injection
  • Authentication issues: Hardcoded credentials, weak auth
  • Authorization flaws: Missing access controls, IDOR
  • Data exposure: Sensitive data in logs, error messages
  • Cryptography: Weak algorithms, improper key management
  • Dependencies: Known vulnerabilities (check with npm audit, pip-audit)
# Quick security scans
npm audit                    # Node.js
pip-audit                    # Python
cargo audit                  # Rust
grep -r "password\|secret\|api_key" --include="*.py" --include="*.js"

2. Correctness

Check for:

  • Logic errors: Off-by-one, null handling, edge cases
  • Race conditions: Concurrent access without synchronization
  • Resource leaks: Unclosed files, connections, memory
  • Error handling: Swallowed exceptions, missing error paths
  • Type safety: Implicit conversions, any types

3. Performance

Check for:

  • N+1 queries: Database calls in loops
  • Memory issues: Large allocations, retained references
  • Blocking operations: Sync I/O in async code
  • Inefficient algorithms: O(n^2) when O(n) possible
  • Missing caching: Repeated expensive computations

4. Maintainability

Check for:

  • Naming: Clear, consistent, descriptive
  • Complexity: Functions > 50 lines, deep nesting > 3 levels
  • Duplication: Copy-pasted code blocks
  • Dead code: Unused imports, unreachable branches
  • Comments: Outdated, redundant, or missing where needed

5. Testing

Check for:

  • Coverage: Critical paths tested
  • Edge cases: Null, empty, boundary values
  • Mocking: External dependencies isolated
  • Assertions: Meaningful, specific checks

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.

code-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository wytheglobal/learn-claude-code (23 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 1,103 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). It is 100% identical to code-review, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
