What it does
Evanflow Iterate is an agent skill from evanklem/evanflow. Iterative self-review loop after implementing a plan. Re-read changed code with fresh eyes, fix issues found, re-run quality checks, repeat until clean. For UI work, includes visual verification (view the rendered page). Use after evanflow-executing-plans completes; on success, report and stop — the user decides what's next.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 Agent Workflows, covering Planning. The repository describes itself as: A TDD-driven iterative feedback loop for software development. 16 cohesive Claude Code skills walk an idea from brainstorm → plan → execute → iterate, with checkpoints throughout.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Planning
Example prompts
- “/evanflow-iterate”
Requirements
- A credential in STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Run All Quality Checks
- Re-Read the Diff With Fresh Eyes
- (UI work only) Visual Verification
- Stopping Condition
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c9ae21f. 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:
pnpmcargogogittsceslintruffpytest
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Evanflow Iterate loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 787 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 787 words (~1,653 tokens).
“See evanflow meta-skill. Key terms: deep modules, deletion test, vertical slice.”
