What it does

Review Loop is an agent skill from Apocrathia/home-assistant-config. Pre-handoff quality gate for Home Assistant YAML, docs, and agent context. Lint, validate, and smoke-check the working-tree diff. Use before handing changes to the operator.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Quality gates and Codebase knowledge for agents. It works with Home Assistant. The repository describes itself as: Apocrathia's Home Assistant Configuration Files.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Quality gates
  • Tasks that involve Codebase knowledge for agents

Example prompts

  • “/review-loop”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e28308a. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Review Loop loads about 657 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 125 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~657

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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 125 words (~657 tokens).

“Pre-handoff quality gate — not build+test+PR. Run in the main checkout: inspect the uncommitted (or named) diff, fix valid issues, re-check, then stop for the operator.”
