Autonomous multi-round research review loop. An agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist.

  • Works in 4 steps: Codex writes a concise rebuttal with… → Send the rebuttal to the same reviewer… → The reviewer rules which objections are… → …
  • User says auto review loop
  • SKILL.md covers Context: $ARGUMENTS, Constants, Claude-Aligned Reviewer Memory… and Instructions, plus 7 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Auto Review Loop is an agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist. Autonomous multi-round research review loop. Repeatedly reviews using a secondary Codex agent, implements fixes, and re-reviews until positive assessment or max rounds reached. Use when user says "auto review loop", "review until it passes", or wants autonomous iterative improvement.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: An autonomous research agent that turns a topic into a peer-reviewed technical report.

When your agent uses it

  • User says auto review loop
  • Review until it passes
  • Wants autonomous iterative improvement

Example prompts

  • “auto review loop”
  • “review until it passes”
  • “/auto-review-loop”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Codex writes a concise rebuttal with evidence, not spin.
  2. Send the rebuttal to the same reviewer via send_input.
  3. The reviewer rules which objections are resolved, unresolved, or newly discovered.
  4. Only mark a concern resolved when the reviewer accepts the rebuttal.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7132192. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown and json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Auto Review Loop loads about 4.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,665 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,665 words (~4,135 tokens).
