iterative-review

iterative-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BostonOrange/claude-code-framework. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,764 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repeated plan, code, review, and re-code workflow that keeps review findings between iterations. It coordinates reviewers and records whether findings were fixed or explicitly left unresolved.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for non-trivial changes that need several implementation and review cycles, or run it in planning-only or review-only mode.
Why use it?
It prevents review feedback from being lost across multiple passes and avoids reopening decisions the user has already marked as not worth fixing.

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

iterative-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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Iterative Review — The Feedback Loop

A sustained plan/code/review/re-code cycle on the current branch. Each pass:

  1. Plans (or replans) the change
  2. Implements the plan
  3. Spawns review-coordinator to synthesize parallel reviewer findings
  4. Persists findings to .claude/state/review-state-<branch>.json (append-only)
  5. On the next pass, the coordinator sees prior findings and tracks fixed/unfixed/won't-fix

This is the framework's primary inner loop for non-trivial work. Use /team review for one-shot reviews; use /iterative-review when you expect multiple iterations.

Usage

/iterative-review                      — start or continue the loop on the current branch
/iterative-review --plan-only          — produce/refresh the plan; do not implement or review
/iterative-review --review-only        — skip planning + coding; just spawn coordinator
/iterative-review --reset              — discard state for this branch and start fresh
/iterative-review --override [reason]  — break glass; force APPROVE without review (tracked)

Break-glass override. For hotfixes when a real review would block a critical merge, --override tells review-coordinator to skip Steps 2–6, write a single APPROVE iteration to state with "override": "break-glass", and exit. The override is tracked in review-state-<branch>.json for retrospective analysis. The next iteration without --override runs the full review normally.

Equivalent: a comment containing break glass in the user's prompt to the skill triggers the same path. Use sparingly; review-coordinator's verdict rubric already biases toward APPROVE for legitimate cases.

State Files

All state lives in .claude/state/ (gitignored). Per branch:

File Purpose Lifecycle
plan-<branch>.md The current implementation plan Rewritten on --plan-only
review-context-<branch>.md Shared context every sub-reviewer reads Rewritten by coordinator each iteration
review-state-<branch>.json Append-only findings history Coordinator appends, never rewrites

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.

iterative-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository BostonOrange/claude-code-framework (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 1,764 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
