design-review-cycle

design-review-cycle is a skill for Claude Code from verivus-oss/llm-cli-gateway. It costs 62 tokens per session (2,546 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review process for checking a design, specification, or implementation plan through the local llm-gateway before coding begins. It can use one provider or several AI providers, including Claude, Codex, Gemini, Grok, Mistral, Devin, and Cursor.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review an architecture, written specification, or coding plan and to verify which model and request interfaces are available.
Why use it?
It finds weaknesses in technical decisions while they are still easy to change, before implementation makes them costly to reverse.

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

design-review-cycle 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 11d 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.

Design Review Cycle

Review a design, specification, or implementation plan before code changes make the decision expensive to reverse. Dispatch every review through the local gtwy stdio MCP server, not by launching provider CLIs directly.

The gateway has seven CLI request surfaces: Claude, Codex, Gemini, Grok, Mistral, Devin, and Cursor. Each has a sync request tool and an async request tool when async jobs are enabled. Grok, Mistral, Devin, and Cursor also expose native ACP transports, but review requests still go through the gateway request tools.

Configured API providers can add generic request tools. Discover them with list_models and their reported capabilities. They do not supply a local CLI checkout/worktree or native ACP boundary, so they are not an automatic replacement for a source-inspecting required CLI reviewer.

Start With Scope, Capability, and Target Checks

  1. Call provider_tool_capabilities through gtwy to discover the usable request surface, native transport capability, and local provider state.
  2. Define the review roster. A full cross-LLM review requires every provider that the user or process names. Do not silently reduce that roster because a provider is slow or unavailable.
  3. Verify that every reviewer will inspect the same repository and revision. A review of a default or unrelated workspace is invalid.
  4. If Personal Agent Config Kit mode is enabled, it supports Claude, Codex, and Mistral only. route_request and normal cross-provider validation surfaces are unavailable. A requested seven-provider review is therefore blocked until Kit is disabled for that workflow or the user explicitly changes scope. Claude and Mistral Kit requests also reject caller-supplied workingDir before context compilation. explain_effective_config({workingDir:"<repo>"}) can inspect a candidate scope, but execute that Kit work with an already configured registered workspace alias or the configured default workspace. It never inherits the gateway process cwd.

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.
