code-review

code-review is a skill for Codex from zacharygcook/agent-skills. It costs 56 tokens per session (605 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for conducting an evidence-based review of code changes, such as a diff, commit, branch, pull request, or selected files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect changed code and related tests or documentation, verify findings against repository behavior, and report actionable issues by severity.
Why use it?
It helps find real correctness, security, reliability, performance, product, and maintenance risks without padding the review with unsupported concerns.

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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Code Review

Find real correctness, security, reliability, product, performance, and maintainability risks. Do not implement fixes unless the user also asks for them.

Review Posture

  • Assume bugs may exist, but prove claims from code, tests, docs, or deterministic output.
  • Review system outcomes and repository invariants, not syntax alone.
  • Separate definite findings from open questions and speculative risks.
  • Prefer one root-cause finding over several overlapping symptoms.
  • Do not pad the report when no issue exists.

Priorities

  • P0: catastrophic security, data loss, outage, or broken core workflow; must not ship.
  • P1: serious definite correctness, privacy, auth, reliability, migration, or integration bug.
  • P2: normal actionable bug, edge case, test gap, performance risk, API/data-model issue, or maintainability problem.
  • P3: low-risk inconsistency or polish worth addressing.

Use the lowest priority that honestly matches both impact and confidence.

Workflow

  1. Read repository instructions and docs relevant to the changed domain.
  2. Establish the exact target and intent from status, commits, PR text, issues, and tests.
  3. Read changed files plus nearby code that owns contracts and invariants.
  4. Run focused repository-native checks without mutating code.
  5. Inspect auth, data handling, migrations, concurrency, external costs, dependencies, queries, UI states, and operability as applicable.
  6. Review manually after tool output; scanners are evidence, not conclusions.
  7. Return findings first with tight file/line references and concrete remediation.

Never run destructive resets, live provider calls, production migrations, or write-mode formatting during a read-only review without explicit authorization.

Deterministic Evidence

Choose proportional checks: formatting check mode, lint, typecheck, focused tests, contract/schema tests, build/bundle analysis, dependency inspection, and existing complexity tooling. Report exact commands and outcomes.

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.
