review-loop

review-loop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AuroraPixel/ai-native-harness-skill. It costs 130 tokens per session (5,058 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of review-loop, Apache-2.0.

An automated code-review process in which another coding assistant reviews changes, the host assistant considers its findings, and the code is revised through repeated rounds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review changes on a branch, diff, or pull request with Codex, Claude, or Gemini, with an optional report-only mode.
Why use it?
It provides an independent review and keeps iterating until the review process reaches agreement on the code’s final state.

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 C, and why

review-loop scanned grade C with 2 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/peer-invoke.sh, scripts/preflight.sh), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 500 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review Loop — Cross-LLM Iterative Code Review

Spawns a peer reviewer (Codex, Claude, or Gemini) to independently review your code changes. The host agent evaluates findings, implements accepted fixes, and re-submits for peer re-review. Iterates until both agents agree on the final code state.

Key: You (the human) do NOT need to participate. Watch progress via .review-loop/<session>/rounds.json and summary.md.

Compatibility note: rounds.json keeps the historical field name claude_actions for backward compatibility. In Codex-hosted runs, that field still stores the host agent's decisions and code changes.

Prerequisites

  • Required: git CLI
  • Peer (one of): codex CLI (codex --version), claude CLI (claude --version), or gemini CLI (gemini --version)
  • Optional: gh CLI (for PR scope detection)

Configuration

Defaults

Setting Default Options
peer_reviewer codex codex, claude, gemini
max_rounds 5 1–10
timeout_per_round 600 seconds
scope_preference auto auto, diff, branch, pr
read_only false true = report-only, no code changes

The peer reviewer always runs with local repository access.

Read-only mode (read_only: true): Peer reviews code and the host agent evaluates findings, but NO code changes are made. Output is a findings report only — no fix commits, no code evolution loop. Useful when review-loop is used as a sensor by other skills (e.g., the bundled harness skill's Evaluator Tier 2). In read-only mode, Phase 2 (Code Evolution Loop) is skipped entirely — after Round 1 findings are evaluated, the loop goes directly to Phase 3 report generation with all findings classified as reported (not accepted/rejected).

Override via project config

Create .review-loop/config.json in the project root to override defaults:

{
  "peer_reviewer": "gemini",
  "max_rounds": 8

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.

review-loop is a skill published in the GitHub repository AuroraPixel/ai-native-harness-skill (11 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 5,058 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, enumerates other installed skills). It is 100% identical to review-loop, differing in 9 lines, and is treated as a copy.
