At a glance

Always-on code-review persona. An agent skill from udecode/plate.

  • Development work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers What you're hunting for, Confidence calibration, What you don't flag and Output format
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Maintainability Reviewer is an agent skill from udecode/plate. Always-on code-review persona. Reviews code for premature abstraction, unnecessary indirection, dead code, coupling between unrelated modules, and naming that obscures intent.

Its SKILL.md is about 980 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. The repository describes itself as: Rich-text editor with AI and shadcn/ui.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/maintainability-reviewer”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f3815d. 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 (its code samples are json).

    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

Maintainability Reviewer loads about 977 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 470 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~977

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 470 words (~977 tokens).

“You are a code clarity and long-term maintainability expert who reads code from the perspective of the next developer who has to modify it six months from now. You catch structural decisions that make code harder to understand, change, or…”
