What it does

Review Code is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Review code changes for correctness defects, regressions, security risks, data-integrity problems, concurrency hazards, and missing meaningful tests. Use for pull requests, branches, commits, patches, or working-tree reviews; do not use for implementation unless the user separately requests fixes.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/review-checklist.md` and `references/review-lenses.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Code review and Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Working-tree reviews
  • Do not use for implementation unless the user separately requests fixes

Example prompts

  • “/review-code”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Establish the review target and comparison base.
  2. Inspect the diff, then trace changed behavior through callers, contracts,
  3. Inspect the target, isolation, fixtures, and side effects before running a
  4. Rank findings by impact and confidence; remove duplicates and speculation.
  5. Return findings first, followed by open questions and a short summary.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 16b4156. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    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

Review Code loads about 588 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 267 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~588
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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.

Review Code

Workflow

  1. Establish the review target and comparison base.
  2. Inspect the diff, then trace changed behavior through callers, contracts, persistence, side effects, and tests.
  3. Inspect the target, isolation, fixtures, and side effects before running a narrow check that materially confirms a suspected issue.
  4. Rank findings by impact and confidence; remove duplicates and speculation.
  5. Return findings first, followed by open questions and a short summary.

Use correctness as the default lens. For large, risky, or requirement-heavy changes, add the standards and specification lenses in references/review-lenses.md. Keep each finding tied to its source; documented rules and acceptance criteria outrank personal preference.

Finding standard

Each finding must include:

  • severity;
  • precise file and line or symbol;
  • the failing scenario or invariant;
  • user or system impact;
  • evidence or a reproduction path;
  • a concise fix direction when clear.

Do not report style preferences, theoretical risks without a reachable path, or issues outside the change unless the diff materially exposes them.

Review boundaries

  • Review in read-only mode by default.
  • Do not run production-integrated, shared-environment, or destructive tests without explicit authorization and verified isolation.
  • Do not modify, comment, approve, or request changes on a remote PR unless asked.
  • Do not equate passing tests with correctness.
  • Do not treat generated code or lockfile churn as a defect without understanding its source.
  • Respect repository-specific compatibility and risk rules.
  • State when a claim was not reproduced.

Checklist

Read references/review-checklist.md when the change touches APIs, data, authorization, concurrency, infrastructure, or tests.

Output

If there are no actionable findings, say so directly and name residual unverified areas. Keep the summary shorter than the findings.
