review-batch

review-batch is a skill for Claude Code from darkroomengineering/cc-settings. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,410 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for collecting and reviewing code changes made by several agents in one batch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect pending diffs, group related changes, and create a short re-entry note for each review.
Why use it?
It reduces the time lost switching between separate reviews and helps track which changes still need attention.

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

review-batch 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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review Batch

Context-switching between agents is the hidden tax: every cold reload costs minutes and you never restore the context perfectly. Batching reviews is far cheaper than check-one, leave, return-cold. This skill assembles the pending work into one sitting. Keep batches small enough that integration conflicts do not cost more than the context-switches saved.

Standalone Codex gathering

Do not require the consumer repo to provide a review-batch script, and do not read a Claude swarm log. Gather git status --short, git diff --stat, git diff, git diff --cached --stat, and git diff --cached directly. Read the current native agent state from the host's agent listing/status surface. Group cards by diff area and by agent task only when that provenance is actually available; otherwise label the producer unknown.

Procedure

  1. Gather the picture in Claude:

    bun "$HOME/.claude/src/scripts/review-batch.ts"
    

    Prints the review-queue depth (and age of the oldest unreviewed work), the working-tree diff stat, and recent agent activity from ~/.claude/swarm.log.

  2. Build a re-entry card per change — group the diff by file area / the agent that produced it. Each card:

    ### [change] — [files]
    - What: [one-line summary of the diff]
    - Why: [intent / which agent + task produced it]
    - Decide: [the 1-3 things that actually need your judgment — not the mechanical parts]
    - Proof: [`/proof-of-work` verdict — review-ready or not; screenshot for UI]
    
    [reading diff — protocol below; under ~40 changed lines skip the abridging and show the diff whole]
    

    Fill "Proof" from the worker's result when it has one: the closing json block of an implementer report, or the worker result section codex-run.ts exec prints. The change is not review-ready unless status is completed, verify_result.passed is true, and, for Codex, the section reads ready: yes; quote each blockers entry and each not ready: line on the card. A worker with no result block is unproven, not ready.

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.
