What it does

Review Cycle is an agent skill from catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow. Unified multi-dimensional code review with automated fix orchestration. Routes to session-based (git changes), module-based (path patterns), or fix mode. Triggers on "workflow:review-cycle", "workflow:review-session-cycle", "workflow:review-module-cycle", "workflow:review-cycle-fix".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `phases/review-fix.md`, `phases/review-module.md` and `phases/review-session.md`).

It sits in Development. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: JSON-driven multi-agent cadence-team development framework with intelligent CLI orchestration (Gemini/Qwen/Codex), context-first architecture, and automated workflow execution. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Workflow:review-cycle
  • Workflow:review-session-cycle
  • Workflow:review-module-cycle
  • Workflow:review-cycle-fix

Example prompts

  • “workflow:review-cycle”
  • “workflow:review-session-cycle”
  • “workflow:review-module-cycle”
  • “/review-cycle”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Agent, AskUserQuestion, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, Skill

Workflow steps

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

  1. Mode Detection First: Parse input to determine session/module/fix mode before anything else
  2. Progressive Loading: Read ONLY the phase doc for the detected mode, not all three
  3. Full Delegation: Once mode is detected, the phase doc owns the entire execution flow
  4. Auto-Continue: Phase docs contain their own multi-phase execution (Phase 1-5 or Phase 1-4+5)
  5. DO NOT STOP: Continuous execution until all internal phases within the phase doc complete

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 07491b0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Agent
    • AskUserQuestion
    • TaskCreate
    • TaskUpdate
    • TaskList
    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash
    • Glob

    …and 2 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    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 javascript and bash).

    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 Cycle loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 246 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Agent, AskUserQuestion, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, Skill

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.

Auto Mode Detection

javascript
// ★ 统一 auto mode 检测:-y/--yes 从 $ARGUMENTS 或 ccw 传播
const autoYes = /\b(-y|--yes)\b/.test($ARGUMENTS)

When autoYes is true, skip all interactive confirmations and use defaults throughout the review cycle phases.

Mode Detection

javascript
function detectMode(args) {
  if (args.includes('--fix')) return 'fix';
  if (args.match(/\*|\.ts|\.js|\.py|\.vue|\.jsx|\.tsx|src\/|lib\//)) return 'module';
  if (args.match(/^WFS-/) || args.trim() === '') return 'session';
  return 'session';  // default
}

Usage

Skill(skill="review-cycle", args="src/auth/**")                                    # Module mode
Skill(skill="review-cycle", args="src/auth/** --dimensions=security,architecture") # Module + custom dims
Skill(skill="review-cycle", args="WFS-payment-integration")                        # Session mode
Skill(skill="review-cycle", args="")                                               # Session: auto-detect
Skill(skill="review-cycle", args="--fix .workflow/active/WFS-123/.review/")        # Fix mode
Skill(skill="review-cycle", args="--fix --resume")                                 # Fix: resume
Skill(skill="review-cycle", args="-y src/auth/**")                                 # Auto mode (skip confirmations)

# Common flags (all modes):
--dimensions=dim1,dim2,...    Custom dimensions (default: all 7)
--max-iterations=N           Max deep-dive iterations (default: 3)

# Fix-only flags:
--fix                        Enter fix pipeline
--resume                     Resume interrupted fix session
--batch-size=N               Findings per planning batch (default: 5)
--max-iterations=N           Max retry per finding (default: 3)

Execution Flow

1. Parse $ARGUMENTS → extract mode + flags
2. Detect mode (session | module | fix)
3. Read corresponding phase doc:
   - session → Read phases/review-session.md → execute
   - module  → Read phases/review-module.md  → execute
   - fix     → Read phases/review-fix.md     → execute
4. Phase doc contains full execution detail (5 phases for review, 4+1 phases for fix)

Phase Reference Documents (read on-demand based on detected mode):

ModeDocumentSourceDescription
sessionphases/review-session.mdreview-session-cycle.mdSession-based review: git changes → 7-dimension parallel analysis → aggregation → deep-dive → completion
modulephases/review-module.mdreview-module-cycle.mdModule-based review: path patterns → 7-dimension parallel analysis → aggregation → deep-dive → completion
fixphases/review-fix.mdreview-cycle-fix.mdAutomated fix: export file → intelligent batching → parallel planning → execution → completion

Project Context

Run ccw spec load --category review for review standards, checklists, and approval gates.

Core Rules

  1. Mode Detection First: Parse input to determine session/module/fix mode before anything else
  2. Progressive Loading: Read ONLY the phase doc for the detected mode, not all three
  3. Full Delegation: Once mode is detected, the phase doc owns the entire execution flow
  4. Auto-Continue: Phase docs contain their own multi-phase execution (Phase 1-5 or Phase 1-4+5)
  5. DO NOT STOP: Continuous execution until all internal phases within the phase doc complete

Can I use Review Cycle in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow --skill review-cycle -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/review-cycle, .gemini/skills/review-cycle, .github/skills/review-cycle and .opencode/skills/review-cycle in your project.

What does Review Cycle need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Review Cycle is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Agent, AskUserQuestion, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, Skill.

Does Review Cycle access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Review Cycle safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Review Cycle use?

Review Cycle is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Review Cycle use?

About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
