review-loop

review-loop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mthines/agent-skills. It costs 431 tokens per session (10,634 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automated process for repeatedly reviewing a GitHub pull request, applying valid suggestions, answering discussion threads, and simplifying the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process review feedback, resolve comments through code changes or replies, refresh the pull request description, and stop after a fixed number of iterations.
Why use it?
It helps move a pull request toward review readiness while leaving genuinely uncertain issues for human judgment.

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-loop 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 2d 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.

review-loop — Bounded Review-Apply-Resolve Convergence

Drive a PR from its initial draft state to a clean, review-ready state by iterating pr-reviewerimplement-suggestion --resolve-allpolish simplify until every review thread is resolved or the cap is reached, then refresh the PR description to match the shipped diff.

A thread is resolved when it is either fixed (a code change landed) or answered (a reply — the answer to a question, the agent's take on a discussion, or a rationale for a declined suggestion). The only threads left open at convergence are genuine human-judgment flags: a real potential issue the agent will neither auto-apply nor honestly decline. That safety valve means the loop can never green-wash a PR by resolving a live finding — it surfaces it instead.

This skill is an orchestrator. It contains no quality rules of its own. It sequences existing pieces, each owning its own domain:

  1. pr-reviewer — finds issues (read-only; posts one COMMENT review; on a re-review resolves its own addressed threads).
  2. implement-suggestion --resolve-all — applies actionable findings and replies-to-and-resolves the non-fix threads it can honestly close (single-shot, no --watch).
  3. Skill("polish", "simplify") — applies Class M mechanical refactors behind a confidence gate.
  4. ci-auto-fix — diagnoses and fixes a red check after the iteration's push (skipped under --no-ci).
  5. On convergence — refreshes the PR description (via the shared description-contract) and, best-effort, notes the linked Linear ticket.

Under --external-review, step 1 is replaced by a wait: the reviewer is another process (a review bot, a CI-triggered agent, a teammate), and the loop polls for its output instead of producing its own. Steps 2–5 are unchanged — they consume threads from GitHub and do not care who wrote them.

Dispatch mechanics — read before invoking

pr-reviewer is an agent, not a skill. Dispatch it with the Task tool (Task(subagent_type="pr-reviewer", prompt="<PR-URL> [--critical]")). Do not call Skill("pr-reviewer", …) — there is no skill by that name and it errors with Unknown skill: pr-reviewer.

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.
