feedback-blockers

feedback-blockers is a command for Claude Code from paulbaranowski/wild-horses. It costs 78 tokens per session (2,859 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review command that looks for design and testing obstacles that interrupt quick change-test-fix cycles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a codebase with four specialist analyses and produce a prioritized plan of concrete fixes.
Why use it?
It finds patterns such as weak encapsulation or hard-to-test code that can make changes slow and unclear.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

feedback-blockers 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 9d 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.

Feedback Blockers Review

Analyze code for feedback-loop blockers — encapsulation gaps, OOP design issues, testability barriers, and harness-unfriendly patterns that prevent fast, clear change-test-fix cycles. Uses 4 parallel specialist agents, then synthesizes findings into a prioritized remediation plan with concrete interventions.

Bundled assets at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} (if the variable isn't substituted in this context, find the files with Glob "**/harness/loop-protocol.md" and read the siblings alongside it):

  • loop-protocol.md — Phase 4 options menu. Shared with /harness:reasoning-gaps.
  • task-list-schema.md — JSON task file shape. Shared with /harness:reasoning-gaps, task-list-builder, and task-list-runner.
  • skills/task-list-builder/SKILL.md — task-list construction (verifySteps discovery, run-ID, JSON + MD writing, preview). Invoked from Phase 4 Options 1, 2, and 3 with --slug feedback-blockers --md-body-from-context.
  • skills/task-list-runner/SKILL.md — execution engine (resume, Agent loop, Task Implementation Prompt). Invoked from Phase 4 Options 1 and 2 and from --resume.
  • agents/feedback-blockers/encapsulation.md
  • agents/feedback-blockers/oop-design.md
  • agents/feedback-blockers/testability.md
  • agents/feedback-blockers/harness-friendliness.md

Target: "$ARGUMENTS"

Slug: feedback-blockers (use this value wherever loop-protocol.md says <slug>).


Resume Check (before Phase 1)

If $ARGUMENTS contains --resume, hand off to the task-list-runner skill (it will auto-locate the in-progress task file or accept a path that follows --resume). Skip Phases 1–4 entirely.


Phase 1: Determine Scope (you do this)

Based on arguments and context, determine what files to analyze:

  1. If a specific file/directory path is given — collect those file paths.
  2. If a free-form description is given (e.g., "the cli code", "the decoder pipeline", "authentication logic") — search the codebase to identify matching files. Use directory names, module names, class/function names, and file contents to resolve the description to a concrete list of files. Confirm the resolved scope with the user if ambiguous.
  3. If no arguments (DEFAULT) — get only the files changed in the current PR branch: git diff --name-only main...HEAD plus any uncommitted changes via git diff --name-only. Exclude test files and non-source files. This should typically yield 3–10 files. If it yields more than 15, ask the user to narrow scope.
  4. If --full — collect all source files in src/ or the main package directory (warn: may be slow).

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.
