What it does

Review Cockpit is an agent skill from huytieu/COG-second-brain. Produce and continuously maintain ONE living review document for a multi-item session — a cockpit header (Progress checklist, Working folder, Context) plus per-item review cards that you approve or request changes on directly in the doc or side panel. Use whenever a session has multiple deliverables you need to review/approve (meeting-processing + planning, multi-ticket work, briefs with several drafts, any "do X, then plan/draft Y and Z"). The doc is the interaction surface: you edit it (or reply in chat) to…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/session-review-template.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Self-evolving second brain with 35 AI skills, 10 agents, and people CRM. Closed-loop harness: a V-model verification lifecycle where the worker never grades its own homework… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A session has multiple deliverables you need to review/approve (meeting-processing + planning
  • Multi-ticket work
  • Briefs with several drafts
  • Then plan/draft Y and Z)

Example prompts

  • “do X, then plan/draft Y and Z”
  • “/review-cockpit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Status line — one line: how many items await review + last-updated timestamp.
  2. 🧭 Progress — a checklist, one row per item, each with a status glyph; a text progress bar + "X/N done · A awaiting review · B pending"…
  3. 📁 Working folder — table of every artifact produced this session with its ~/vault/... path or link (meeting note, this doc, evidence dir…
  4. 🔌 Context — sources the work is grounded in (recordings, Slack threads, issues), tools/connectors used, related tickets.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 36ac9d7. 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 Cockpit loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 147 tokens; SKILL.md has 753 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~147
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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
Produce and continuously maintain ONE living review document for a multi-item session — a cockpit header (Progress checklist, Working folder, Context) plus per-item review cards that you approve or request changes on directly in the doc or side panel. Use whenever a session has multiple deliverables you need to review/approve (meeting-processing + planning, multi-ticket work, briefs with several drafts, any "do X, then plan/draft Y and Z"). The doc is the interaction surface: you edit it (or reply in chat) to approve/change; the agent keeps it live as work progresses.

review-cockpit

Purpose

A single, living review document that doubles as the control surface for a session. Instead of scattering a meeting note here, a ticket there, two drafts in chat, everything lands in one file you can open in the Obsidian side panel (or Claude side panel) and drive: see progress at a glance, review each item in place, approve or request changes inline, and watch the doc update as the agent works. Mirrors a "co-work" cockpit (Progress / Working folder / Context).

When to use

  • Any session with ≥2 things you need to review or approve (the default for "process X then plan/draft Y, Z").
  • Meeting-processing + pod planning, multi-ticket runs, briefs with several drafts, spec + plan + drafts.
  • NOT for a single trivial deliverable (one file, no approval loop) — a plain file is fine there.

Pairs with closed-loop (verification), harvest (learnings), and the V-model checkpoints. This skill governs how the deliverable is presented and driven, not the verification pipeline.

The one rule

One doc per session. It opens with a cockpit, then one review card per item. Every artifact the session produces is linked from the Working folder table (fan-out to sub-files mid-run is fine; the cockpit is the single front door). Never hand the user "see files A, B, C" — hand them the cockpit.

Structure

Copy references/session-review-template.md. Save the working copy in the relevant project folder as YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>-review.md (or -plan.md).

Cockpit (top):

  1. Status line — one line: how many items await review + last-updated timestamp.
  2. 🧭 Progress — a checklist, one row per item, each with a status glyph; a text progress bar + "X/N done · A awaiting review · B pending". Make each item a clickable anchor to its review card — [N. Title](#n-title) using GitHub-slug rules (lowercase, spaces→-, drop punctuation/emoji). Keep item headings free of + # ← → ( ) so slugs stay clean single-hyphen and the links resolve in Obsidian + the Claude side panel.
  3. 📁 Working folder — table of every artifact produced this session with its ~/vault/... path or link (meeting note, this doc, evidence dir, external issues/PRs, posted messages).
  4. 🔌 Context — sources the work is grounded in (recordings, Slack threads, issues), tools/connectors used, related tickets.

Review items (below): one card per item:

  • Status — glyph + word (see vocabulary).
  • Action — what was done or is proposed.
  • Deliverable — link/path, or an inline draft placed directly under the card so you review it in place (messages to send, doc bodies).
  • Checklist — the item's acceptance criteria as checkboxes.
  • 🗒 Your call — the approval slot you edit (approve / your requested changes).
  • Decision log — append-only record of what happened / what you decided.

Footer: "How to drive this doc" (approve/change mechanics + status vocabulary), so the doc is self-explaining.

Status vocabulary: ⏳ pending · 🔄 in progress · 📝 needs review · ✏️ changes requested · ✅ done · ⛔ blocked

Show full SKILL.md (310 more words)Show less

Update protocol (keep it live)

  • After every meaningful step, refresh: the Progress checklist + bar, the affected item's Status, the Working folder (add new artifacts), and the item's Decision log. Bump the updated: frontmatter + status line.
  • Prefer targeted Edits over full rewrites so your inline edits/approvals are never clobbered. Before editing, re-read the file — you may have typed approvals or change requests into 🗒 Your call or ticked boxes.
  • When you approve an item, execute it, move it to ✅, and log the outcome (with the external link — issue/PR/message URL) in the Decision log.
  • When you request changes, set the item to ✏️ changes requested, apply them, re-draft in place, then return it to 📝 needs review.

Interaction contract

The doc is the shared surface; you drive it two ways, both valid:

  • In the doc / side panel: you edit 🗒 Your call or tick checkboxes. Re-read and act.
  • In chat: "3 is ok", "approve 2 and 4", "change the tone on the requirement comms". Map to item numbers and act.

Distinguish draft items (agent proposes, waits — e.g. a Slack message you own sending) from auto items (agent may execute directly — e.g. filing a GitHub issue you explicitly asked for). Draft items stay 📝 until approved; auto items go straight to ✅ with the artifact linked. When unsure whether an item is draft or auto, leave it 📝.

Post-condition

Read-only for the doc itself, but the items it tracks often mutate external state — obey each item's own post-condition (fetch back the issue, confirm the Slack message landed, etc.) and record the verified link in the Decision log. Never mark ✅ from a mutation call alone.

Optional: rendered view

The markdown doc is primary (you edit it to approve). If you want a richer at-a-glance view, additionally render an HTML Artifact of the cockpit (Progress + Working folder + Context + item statuses) — but the markdown stays the source of truth and the editable surface.
