Coordinates a delegated review of a Moraine PR or local change by seven focused reviewer subagents, merges their findings and follows up on the fixes.

What it does

Invoking this skill counts as an explicit request for delegated multi-agent review, so the agent does not ask permission to spawn reviewers and does not collapse the personas into one local review. If subagent tooling is unavailable, the review is reported as blocked.

One reviewer subagent is launched for each persona: elegance, idiom, correctness, completeness, security review, YAGNI and scope. Each gets the same raw review packet, made of the PR description, cited issue or objective, relevant diff, changed files, validation results and your constraints, and never the agent's own intended fix or private diagnosis. Invocation forms differ between Codex and Kiro, and the agent keeps a mapping of persona to subagent session.

The agent then merges the feedback, applies accepted fixes and follows up only with the reviewer sessions that need another look. Each reviewer is told to focus only on its own facet, return findings first with severity and file and line references where available, and say so if there are none while noting residual risk.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing a Moraine pull request from every review perspective at once
  • Iterating on review feedback after fixes were applied
  • Running reviewer subagents over a local change before opening a PR

Example prompts

  • “Run the full multi-persona code review on this PR and apply the fixes you accept.”
  • “Review my local changes with all seven reviewer personas and summarize the findings.”
  • “Send the correctness and security reviewers another look after my fixes.”

Requirements

  • An agent harness that can launch subagents, such as Codex or Kiro

Workflow steps

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

  1. Reuse the existing subagent sessions from the first wave.
  2. Message only the reviewers whose findings were fixed, rejected with uncertainty, or marked needs-clarification.
  3. Include a concise update with the specific diff or reasoning relevant to that reviewer.
  4. Do not message reviewers whose facet was unaffected.
  5. Do not launch replacement reviewers unless the original session is unavailable and that reviewer is necessary to complete the task.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2fb4aec. 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

Multi-Persona Code Review loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 497 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

description
Coordinate a delegated full multi-persona code review for a Moraine PR or local change. Use when asked to review a PR, run review agents, get code review feedback, or iterate on review feedback using all CodeReview personas: elegance, idiom, correctness, completeness, security, YAGNI, and scope. Invoking this skill is an explicit request to launch reviewer subagents.

Code Review

Overview

Use this skill to run one coordinated review wave across all focused review personas, merge their feedback, apply accepted fixes, and follow up only with the reviewer sessions that need another look.

Invoking this skill is an explicit user request for delegated multi-agent review. Do not ask for separate permission to spawn reviewer subagents, and do not collapse the personas into a single local review. If subagent tooling is unavailable, report the delegated review as blocked.

Review Wave

Launch exactly one delegated subagent for each focused skill. Use the invocation form native to the current harness:

Persona skillCodexKiro
code-review-elegance$moraine-dev:code-review-elegance/code-review-elegance
code-review-idomatic$moraine-dev:code-review-idomatic/code-review-idomatic
code-review-correctness$moraine-dev:code-review-correctness/code-review-correctness
code-review-completeness$moraine-dev:code-review-completeness/code-review-completeness
code-review-security-review$moraine-dev:code-review-security-review/code-review-security-review
code-review-yagni$moraine-dev:code-review-yagni/code-review-yagni
code-review-scope$moraine-dev:code-review-scope/code-review-scope

Give each reviewer the same raw review packet: PR description, cited issue or objective, relevant diff, changed files, validation results, and any constraints from the user. Do not include your intended fix or your private diagnosis in the prompt.

In Codex, use prompts shaped like:

text
Use $moraine-dev:code-review-correctness to review this PR. Focus only on your persona's facet.
Return findings first, with severity and file/line references when available.
If there are no findings, say so and mention residual risk.

Review packet:
<PR title/body, objective, diff summary, validation, relevant files>

In Kiro, simply name the skill:

text
Use the code-review-correctness skill to review this PR. Focus only on that persona's facet.
Return findings first, with severity and file/line references when available.
If there are no findings, say so and mention residual risk.

Review packet:
<PR title/body, objective, diff summary, validation, relevant files>

Keep a mapping of persona to subagent session id. This mapping is part of the work product until review follow-up is complete.

If the current harness has no callable subagent mechanism, stop before reviewing and report that the required delegated review wave is blocked by missing tooling. Do not silently substitute a manual single-agent review for this skill.

Triage

Wait for the first review wave to finish, then combine findings into one triage list.

For each finding, decide:

  • accept: implement or document the fix.
  • reject: explain why the finding is not applicable.
  • defer: record as follow-up because it is valid but outside this PR.
  • needs-clarification: ask the same reviewer session a targeted question.

Treat CodeReviewScope as the guardrail for the whole review. If another persona asks for broader behavior, generalized architecture, extra cleanup, or unrelated hardening, compare that request against the scope review before accepting it. Prefer the scope review when the broader request would cross lanes or expand the PR beyond its objective.

Iteration

Apply accepted fixes in the current workspace. Do not start a new wave of review agents after making changes.

If follow-up review is requested or needed:

  1. Reuse the existing subagent sessions from the first wave.
  2. Message only the reviewers whose findings were fixed, rejected with uncertainty, or marked needs-clarification.
  3. Include a concise update with the specific diff or reasoning relevant to that reviewer.
  4. Do not message reviewers whose facet was unaffected.
  5. Do not launch replacement reviewers unless the original session is unavailable and that reviewer is necessary to complete the task.

Example follow-up prompt:

text
Follow-up on your CodeReviewScope finding about the monitor restyle.
I removed the unrelated CSS changes and kept only the MCP filtering docs update.
Please re-check only that scope concern against this updated diff:
<small diff or file references>

Final Review Summary

Report the review outcome with:

  • Persona coverage: which reviewer sessions ran.
  • Accepted findings and changes made.
  • Rejected or deferred findings with short rationale.
  • Scope guardrail decisions, especially where broader suggestions were not taken.
  • Follow-up sessions messaged, if any.
  • Validation rerun after fixes.

If no actionable findings remain, say that clearly and identify any residual risk.
