groove-work-review

groove-work-review is a skill for Claude Code from andreadellacorte/groove. It costs 20 tokens per session (546 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A post-implementation review workflow for checking a software change against its plan and acceptance criteria. It produces a clear decision to accept the work or send it back for changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing commits and file changes, checking implementation details against requirements, documenting gaps, deciding accept or rework, and recording review notes.
Why use it?
It helps catch specific correctness or quality problems before work is considered finished and records lessons for later projects.

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

groove-work-review 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 11d 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.

Outcome

The artifact is reviewed for correctness, quality, and fit to plan. Lessons are identified for the compound stage. A clear accept/rework decision is made with rationale. Review notes are captured in the task body.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Artifact is evaluated against the plan and acceptance criteria
  • Specific gaps or issues are identified (not vague "needs improvement")
  • Accept or rework decision is stated with rationale
  • Lessons are noted for /groove-work-compound
  • Review notes appended to stage task body
  • Stage task created in backend: YYYY-MM-DD, Review

Steps

  1. Branch-diff analysis: determine the base branch (default: main; override with base: arg if provided). Run:

    • git log --oneline <base>...HEAD — list commits on this branch
    • git diff <base>...HEAD --stat — summarise changed files
    • git diff <base>...HEAD — full diff (use as review input) Use this diff as the primary artifact to evaluate. If no commits beyond base exist, review working-tree changes instead.
  2. Evaluate against plan and acceptance criteria — read the plan from the task body or spec file if available.

  3. Categorise findings (use these exact labels):

    • Fix Now: trivial issues — fix immediately before accepting
    • Needs Spec: important gaps requiring planning — create a spec
    • Create Issues: large effort or nice-to-have — track as tasks
  4. State accept or rework decision with rationale.

  5. Note lessons for /groove-work-compound.

  6. Append review notes to the task body.

  7. Create stage task via /groove-utilities-task-create if tasks.backend != none (title YYYY-MM-DD, Review).

Constraints

  • Read tasks.backend from .groove/index.md to determine backend
  • Be thorough — 80% of compound loop value is here and in plan
  • If rework: note specific gaps and link back to which plan step was missed or unclear
  • If accept: still note what worked well and what could be improved next time
  • Do not skip review even for small changes — capture something

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.
