code-review-action: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/skill-gauntlet/SKILL.md

skill-gauntlet is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from julien777z/code-review-action. It costs 71 tokens per session (894 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of skill-gauntlet, MIT.

A testing system for evaluating and improving installed agent skills. It compares skill-assisted work with work done without the skill.

In plain words
What is it for?
Inventorying skills, taking snapshots, running isolated evaluations, tracking results and viewing progress in a local dashboard.
Why use it?
It helps determine whether a skill genuinely improves results and provides evidence for upgrading, keeping or retiring it.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is julien777z/code-review-action's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on code-review-action itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything code-review-action configures →

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

skill-gauntlet 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/gauntlet.py), 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.

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 — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Gauntlet

Build evidence that a skill adds durable value to the current model. Preserve originals, keep evaluation roles independent, and prefer honest retirement over a manufactured improvement.

Resources

  • Read references/protocol.md completely before starting a run.
  • Use scripts/gauntlet.py to initialize resumable run state, snapshot skills, verify snapshot integrity, and serve the view-only dashboard.
  • Use assets/dashboard.html only through that utility so sealed artifacts are never served.

Workflow

  1. Discover every installed skill across all project, user, system, plugin, and provider scopes visible to the current harness. Resolve symlinks and precedence, but retain each installation record even when identical content is deduplicated.
  2. Initialize a run under ~/.agents/skill-gauntlet/runs/<run-id>/. Snapshot every complete skill directory before analysis, verify its digest, and mark whether its installed source is editable.
  3. Record each skill's purpose, origin, dependencies, overlaps, precedence, and editability in the public state. Start the loopback dashboard, open it with the available system browser, give the user its URL in chat, present the inventory in chat, and wait for the user's selection. Never put selection controls in the dashboard or treat dashboard activity as approval.
  4. After selection, run the complete protocol independently for each selected skill. Do not ask the user to choose experiments, interpret results, approve revisions, or direct iterations.
  5. Pause only for a genuine external blocker, an action that can affect live systems or data, unavailable isolation needed to protect evaluation integrity, or unverifiable model identity.
  6. Keep public dashboard state current after each completed phase. Persist sealed tasks and evaluation packets only in the run's non-served sealed/ directory and never disclose them to builders or contestants before final evaluation.
  7. Keep the lead agent as the only state writer. Serialize every utility mutation after receiving independent-agent results; never let parallel agents call snapshot or update concurrently.
  8. Provisionally install a candidate only after it satisfies the frozen iteration acceptance gate. Install a writable user-scope override when a managed source cannot be edited and precedence rules support an override. Otherwise report the installation blocker.
  9. Run the final held-out acceptance gate after installation. If it fails, restore the verified original snapshot, record the rollback, archive and replace the contaminated held-out set, and resume iteration.
  10. Finish only when every selected skill is honestly green as an upgrade or Green — retire.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
