develop-review-gate

develop-review-gate is a skill for Codex from penwyp/ClaudePreference. It costs 108 tokens per session (750 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development workflow that makes changes in the current project folder, reviews them twice, and pauses for human approval before further changes or committing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want an agent to inspect existing changes, implement a request, perform two self-review and refactoring passes, run relevant checks, and wait for confirmation.
Why use it?
It adds a clear checkpoint before the work is finalized, helping catch bugs, regressions, missing tests, and unnecessary complexity before the next step.

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

develop-review-gate 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 1mo 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.

Develop Review Gate

Workflow

  1. Confirm scope and current workspace state.
  • Work in the current checkout instead of creating a worktree.
  • Inspect the repository and any existing local changes before editing.
  • If the worktree is already dirty, preserve unrelated user changes and limit edits to the task scope.
  1. Implement the requested change in the current checkout.
  • Explore the relevant code before editing.
  • Finish the feasible scope instead of stopping at a partial patch.
  • Keep architecture consistent with the project; do not use temporary patch-style fixes unless the change is truly a local no-risk micro-fix.
  1. Run self-review pass 1.
  • Inspect the diff as a reviewer instead of as the original author.
  • Look for correctness bugs, regressions, missing tests, naming issues, leaky abstractions, and unnecessary complexity.
  • Apply the fixes that are clearly actionable.
  • Run the most relevant tests, lint, or build checks for the changed area.
  1. Run self-review pass 2.
  • Re-inspect the updated diff with the same reviewer mindset.
  • Focus on issues left after the first pass: edge cases, maintainability, API consistency, error handling, and test quality.
  • Apply the second-pass fixes that materially improve the result.
  • Re-run the most relevant verification after the refactor.
  1. Produce the approval gate output and pause.
  • Report the final review findings first. If no blocking findings remain, say that explicitly.
  • Summarize what changed, what was refactored during both self-review passes, what verification ran, and what did not run.
  • Include the current branch, touched files, and working tree status when relevant.
  • Call out residual risks or open questions.
  • End in a waiting state such as: Awaiting human confirmation: continue coding, request more changes, commit, or proceed with the next step.
  • Do not continue into extra scope, commit, or destructive cleanup unless the human explicitly confirms.

Review Output

Use concise sections in this order:

  • Self-review findings
  • Change summary
  • Refactors applied
  • Verification
  • Residual risks
  • Awaiting confirmation

What ships with it

1 file 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.
