auto-review

A setup and reference guide for an automatic code-review system that starts review agents whenever tracked files change during a coding session. It reports findings by severity and can trigger follow-up work for serious issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure or understand automatic reviews, review events and reports, choose providers or models, and control when serious findings trigger another agent.
Why use it?
It catches review issues during development instead of waiting until the end of a session. The automated reports help surface problems while the relevant changes are still fresh.

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 yesterday.

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.

Auto Review — Built-in Plugin

Overview

The wstack-auto-review plugin (built into @wrongstack/core) detects every git-tracked file change during a session and automatically dispatches a review subagent. It extends the Chimera review pipeline but fires mid-session on every change, not just at session end.

iteration.completed → git diff → debounce → chimera.review_needed event
                                                  ↓
                                    Director spawns review subagent
                                    (provider/model from config)
                                                  ↓
                                    Severity-ranked report → session + mailbox
                                                  ↓
                                    chimera.review_complete event
                                                  ↓
                                    parseReviewSeverity → shouldCascade
                                                  ↓  (if threshold crossed)
                                    chimera.cascade_needed event
                                                  ↓
                                    Director spawns follow-up agents
                                    (security-scanner, bug-hunter)

Status

This is a built-in plugin (packages/core/src/plugins/auto-review-plugin.ts), NOT a skill-based watcher. It is loaded automatically but disabled by default. Enable it in your config:

{
  "extensions": {
    "wstack-auto-review": {
      "enabled": true,
      "provider": "deepseek",
      "model": "deepseek-chat",
      "fallbackProfile": "reliable",
      "modelSelection": "round-robin",
      "debounceMs": 15000,
      "maxFilesPerBatch": 15,
      "cascadeOn": "high",
      "maxCascadeDepth": 2
    }
  }
}

Requirements

  • --director flag (Director mode) — the subagent spawning pipeline (execution.ts) requires the Director to be active. Without it, review events are silently skipped.
  • git available in the session working directory.

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.

auto-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository WrongStack/WrongStack (240 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 1,641 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
