What it does

Review Steering is an agent skill from dralgorhythm/claude-agentic-framework. Compiles REVIEW.md and keeps CLAUDE.md accurate as the two sanctioned surfaces for steering Anthropic's managed Code Review service, translating this repo's rules into terse reviewer imperatives. Use when creating or updating REVIEW.md, configuring or steering automated code review, or reconciling review instructions after rules change.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `evals/README.md`, `evals/evals.json` and `resources/review.template.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Translation, Code review and Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: A More Effective Agent Harness for Claude.

When your agent uses it

  • Updating REVIEW.md
  • Steering automated code review
  • Reconciling review instructions after rules change

Example prompts

  • “s managed Code Review service, translating this repo”
  • “Use the review-steering skill to compile REVIEW.md and keeps CLAUDE.md accurate as the two sanctioned surfaces for steering Anthropic's managed Code…”
  • “/review-steering”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read .claude/rules/code-quality.md — quality gates, SOLID/DRY musts, performance checklist.
  2. Read .claude/rules/security.md — security checklist, severity classification (block on Critical/High), CWE-reference convention.
  3. Compile both into REVIEW.md as terse reviewer imperatives — "flag X", "block on Y", "ignore Z" — never prose restatements of the rules.
  4. Keep it short: reviewers get REVIEW.md injected on every run, and every extra line dilutes the priority of the lines that matter.
  5. Add repo-specific invariants a generic reviewer cannot infer from a diff alone — artifact-naming conventions, enforcement-ladder…
  6. Confirm CLAUDE.md still states project context accurately; both surfaces depend on it being current.
  7. Scaffold from the bundled template and replace every placeholder before committing — see Resources below.
  8. Stamp the final line with <!-- rules-hash: -->, where is the output of cat .claude/rules/code-quality.md .claude/rules/security.md |…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6436a20. 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.

    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 Steering loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 503 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 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 503 words (~1,094 tokens).

“Anthropic's managed Code Review service and the local /code-review command are customized through exactly two files — nothing else steers them.”
