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 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 Requesting Code Review

Lifecycle

Executors invoke requesting-code-review at defined checkpoints. This skill dispatches the code-reviewer agent with structured context. Returned findings are handled by receiving-code-review.

Precondition

Only request review when the checkpoint work is in a reviewable state and its planned verification has completed. Do not request review for code that has failing required verification unless the purpose of the review is to diagnose the failure.

When to Request Review

Mandatory Triggers

  • executing-plans: After each 3-step batch boundary
  • subagent-execution: After meaningful delegated implementation batches (3+ completed implementation steps, or cross-module change, or high-risk/user-facing/shared-infra change)
  • All executors: Before final completion (claiming done, merging, or creating a PR)

Conditional Triggers

  • loop-execution: At intermediate gates only when the change is high-risk, cross-module, or feature-scale. Always at final completion.
  • Ad-hoc development: Before merge to main. Optionally when stuck or before a large refactor.

When NOT to Request

  • After trivial single-step changes (typo, config value, import fix)
  • Mid-loop iterations that haven't reached a gate
  • When the same code was already reviewed and hasn't changed since
  • Do not request a second full review when a scoped follow-up review is enough

Review Base (Deterministic)

The review base defines the git range for the reviewer. Executors record this before starting each reviewable batch.

  • Batch review: git rev-parse HEAD recorded by the executor before starting the batch
  • Final review: Branch point or last recorded review base, whichever is more recent. A final review is required unless the most recent review already covers all current changes and no code changed afterward.
  • Follow-up review: HEAD immediately before the fix. Re-review only the changed scope unless the fix affects shared architecture, risk level, or multiple modules.

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.
