What it does

Evanflow Review is an agent skill from evanklem/evanflow. Code review — both giving and receiving feedback. Verifying observed behavior over performative agreement. Use when reviewing a PR, requesting review on completed work, or processing review feedback you received.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 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 Development. 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

  • Requesting review on completed work
  • Processing review feedback you received

Example prompts

  • “/evanflow-review”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Self-review first
  2. Frame the review request
  3. Read all feedback first
  4. Embedded Grill — Challenge feedback you disagree with
  5. Group changes
  6. Verify after each batch

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

    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

Evanflow Review loads about 773 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 399 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~773

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 399 words (~773 tokens).
