spawn-review-sessions

spawn-review-sessions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from akolotov/harness. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,581 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for starting one background Claude Code session for each comment in a saved code-review file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running follow-up work for saved review comments, creating headless Claude Code sessions, and controlling them through Remote Control in tmux.
Why use it?
It turns a list of review comments into separate working sessions, so comments can be handled in parallel and monitored remotely.

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

spawn-review-sessions 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/spawn_review_sessions.py, scripts/tests/test_spawn_review_sessions.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 121 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

spawn-review-sessions

Thin wrapper over scripts/spawn_review_sessions.py. For each comment block in a review comments MD file, it seeds a headless Claude Code session and resumes it under Remote Control inside a backgrounded tmux session, so the operator can steer each one from claude.ai/code or the mobile app and end it with /exit. Seeds run in parallel and each session's RC is raised the moment its own seed finishes (pipelined, no barrier), so the first ready session can be read while slower seeds are still running.

The input file is the output of the sibling save-review-comments skill.

Path Conventions

Paths in this document use <SKILL_DIR> to mean this skill's installation directory — for example .claude/skills/spawn-review-sessions in Claude Code, or .codex/skills/spawn-review-sessions in Codex CLI. Whenever you see <SKILL_DIR> in a Bash invocation, substitute the actual installation path resolved from the harness. Do not synthesize an absolute path from your own filesystem assumptions.

<PROJECT_DIR> means the directory the RC sessions start in: --project-dir when given, otherwise the git root of the current working directory.

Usage

Run the script directly:

python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/spawn_review_sessions.py \
  <path/to/comments.md> [--type code-review|plan-review] [--dry-run]
  • Review type is auto-detected from the MD file's meta: blocks (implementation-plan-source-file → plan-review, github-pr-id → code-review); override with --type.
  • Session display names (shown in the RC UI) are derived from meta:: PR#<id> - <slug> for code review, <plan-file-stem> - <slug> for plan review, falling back to review-<slug>. The tmux handle mirrors this: review-PR<id>-<slug> / review-plan-<ACRONYM>-<slug> (acronym = first letters of the plan-file stem's words), falling back to review-<slug>.
  • Artifacts (seed-<slug>.jsonl/.err, mapping.tsv) are written to a sessions/ dir next to the MD file. The slug→UUID mapping makes reruns idempotent: live tmux sessions are skipped, previously-seeded slugs resume without re-seeding.
  • Each seed prompt also tells the session where its own decision report belongs later: decisions/<slug>.md, next to sessions/ (both under the MD file's directory, so a decision report inherits the same run's timestamp instead of a separately-invented one). The prompt says not to write it yet — that happens on a separate, later request within the same session, once a decision has actually been reached.
  • Phase 1 seeds run with --output-format stream-json, so seed-<slug>.jsonl fills with events as the model works. The terminal result event carries the success/error verdict.
  • While seeding, the script prints a heartbeat every progress_interval_seconds (config; 0 disables): one line per seed with a * per 5 stream lines, or done/FAIL once finished — so a long-running seed never looks hung. For finer detail, tail -f sessions/seed-<slug>.jsonl | jq -rc .type.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
