15. logic-lens

    14 1 2 - Python

    Catches the bugs linters miss — logic-first code review via execution tracing. Finds behavioral bugs, type-contract breaches & semantic mismatches across 9 risk categories. Six skills: review, explain, diff, locate, health-check, and autonomous audit-and-fix pipeline. Claude Code · Codex CLI · Gemini CLI.

    

    Project mention: Why AI Code Review Misses Logic Bugs — And How Structured Execution Tracing Fixes It | dev.to | 2026-04-28

    **Codex CLI**: See the [README](https://github.com/hyhmrright/logic-lens) for the skill installer command. --- The benchmark results: Logic-Lens achieves **91% overall pass rate** on real-world bug scenarios (interprocedural, boundary, state mutation). Plain AI without the structured methodology: **19%**. The gap isn't what the model can find — it's what it *consistently* finds, with a traceable reasoning chain that shows its work every time. If you've ever shipped a bug that passed review, it's worth trying. The repo is at [github.com/hyhmrright/logic-lens](https://github.com/hyhmrright/logic-lens) — stars and feedback welcome. --- ## Related If you also care about *why* your code has decay risks — not just where — I wrote a companion piece on grounding AI code review in classic engineering books: [Show DEV: brooks-lint — an AI code reviewer that cites Fowler, Martin, and Brooks](https://dev.to/hyhmrright/show-dev-brooks-lint-an-ai-code-reviewer-that-cites-fowler-martin-and-brooks-258a) The two tools are complementary: logic-lens catches behavioral bugs via execution tracing, brooks-lint diagnoses architectural decay against 12 classic books.

16. check-unicode

    15 1 0 7.3 Python

    Pre-commit hook to detect and fix non-ASCII Unicode characters (smart quotes, invisible chars, Trojan Source attacks)

    

    Project mention: Glassworm Is Back: A New Wave of Invisible Unicode Attacks Hits Repositories | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-03-15

    New repo, but seems configurable to do what you're asking for: https://github.com/mit-d/check-unicode

    Though also seems relatively straightforward to code up in your scripting language of choice to call from pre-commit.
