Staff-level codebase health review. An agent skill from getsentry/warden.

  • Works in 5 steps: Module Complexity → Silent Failure Patterns → Type Safety Gaps → …

What it does

Architecture Review is an agent skill from getsentry/warden, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Staff-level codebase health review. Finds monolithic modules, silent failures, type safety gaps, test coverage holes, and LLM-friendliness issues.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Software architecture, Type safety and Test coverage. The repository describes itself as: Your code is under new management. Agents that review your code.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Software architecture
  • Tasks that involve Type safety
  • Tasks that involve Test coverage

Example prompts

  • “/architecture-review”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Module Complexity
  2. Silent Failure Patterns
  3. Type Safety Gaps
  4. Test Coverage Analysis
  5. LLM-Friendliness

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1ee135e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Architecture Review loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 623 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 623 words (~1,237 tokens).

“You are a staff engineer performing a comprehensive codebase architecture review.”
