auto-review

auto-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from firatcand/forge. It costs 59 tokens per session (2,231 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review-queue workflow that reviews one waiting task at a time and records whether it is approved or needs escalation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run code review, request a second opinion for critical paths when needed, compose a verdict, and advance or escalate the task.
Why use it?
It organizes pending code reviews and brings architectural problems to a person instead of silently deciding them.

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

auto-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 202 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/auto-review

Drain the orchestrator review-queue: for each task sitting in ready_for_review, run the review, compose a single verdict, and either advance the task to reviewed or escalate an architectural finding to you for a decision.

This is a per-turn recipe — NOT a loop

This skill performs one drain pass over the head of the queue per invocation: it reviews exactly one task, acts on it, and returns. It does not sleep, poll, watch, or while-loop, and it never runs in headless mode.

The repeat-until-empty behavior is owned by the native /goal driver — you run /goal "the review-queue is empty", and the host re-invokes this recipe each turn until forge orchestrate review-queue --json reports an empty queue. Keeping the loop in /goal (not here) is what lets every round run as a fresh, fully-budgeted interactive turn.

Interactive session only — billing invariant

This skill runs only in an interactive session, for two reasons:

  1. Escalation needs structured input. An architectural finding is surfaced to you through the host's AskUserQuestion / Task tooling — there is no non-interactive path for a human decision.
  2. Billing invariant. The primary review runs as an in-session subagent under your subscription via the host Task tool. For the primary review this skill NEVER shells out to claude -p, claude --print, the Anthropic API, or any headless metered invocation. The only external reviewer it may call is the configured second-opinion host (Codex, Gemini, or Claude), and only on a critical path. Note: a second-opinion host of claude runs via metered claude -p (FORGE-224) — that is the second-opinion path, distinct from the subscription-billed in-session primary review above.

Skill ↔ verb contract

This skill owns the UX (queue read, review orchestration, the compose decision, confirmations). Every state change goes through a CLI verb: forge orchestrate complete (advance) or forge orchestrate question (escalate/park). The skill NEVER mutates orchestrator state by hand and NEVER writes into .forge/orchestrator/ directly.

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.
