code-review

code-review is a skill for Claude Code from yimwoo/hotl-plugin. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,438 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review procedure for checking completed code changes against a plan and its required rules before merging. It determines which branch and changes should be reviewed, then uses a code-review agent when available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a feature branch, recent commit, or local changes and identify problems before they are merged.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork from deciding what to review, especially when changes are staged, unstaged, committed, or part of a pull request.

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 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 1mo 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.

HOTL Code Review

User-facing entry point for getting a code review. Dispatches the full code-reviewer agent by default; falls back to inline review when subagents aren't available.

Process

1. Gather Context

Resolve base branch (fallback ladder — use the first that succeeds):

  1. PR base branch: gh pr view --json baseRefName
  2. Repo default branch: git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD
  3. main
  4. master

Resolve review scope:

  • Feature branch: committed branch diff against base (base...HEAD), plus staged and unstaged local changes when present
  • On base branch with staged changes: staged diff
  • On base branch with unstaged changes: working tree diff
  • On clean base branch: HEAD~1..HEAD
  • Ambiguous (detached HEAD, no commits beyond base, no local changes): ask the user

Detect workflow file:

  • First, glob for canonical workflows in docs/plans/*-workflow.md
  • If one canonical match: use it
  • If multiple canonical matches: prefer the most recently modified canonical workflow, unless the user named one
  • If no canonical matches: glob for legacy hotl-workflow-*.md in project root
  • If one legacy match: use it
  • If multiple legacy matches: prefer the most recently modified legacy workflow, unless the user named one
  • If no matches: proceed without workflow context

Extract contracts from workflow frontmatter if available (intent, constraints, success_criteria, risk_level).

Gather verification evidence:

  • Primary (deterministic): .hotl/state/*.json and .hotl/reports/*.md — most recent artifacts if present
  • Best-effort: recent test/lint output if discoverable; if unavailable, report "not available"

2. Dispatch Review

If subagents are available (Claude Code, Codex):

Dispatch the code-reviewer role as a subagent via the Agent tool. Use the structured dispatch template from requesting-code-review:

  • Review type: direct
  • Git range: resolved scope from step 1
  • Workflow and contracts: if available
  • Verification evidence: if available

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.
