What it does

Review Self is an agent skill from hyodotdev/openiap. Independently review and simplify the agent's current implementation, working-tree changes, or pull request; enforce KISS and repository SSOT rules, fix actionable in-scope gaps, rerun relevant verification, and recheck at the user-requested interval (five minutes by default) until stable or genuinely blocked. Use when the user says "review-self", asks Claude to review its own changes, requests a self-review loop, or wants current work monitored for new issues after implementation.

Its SKILL.md is about 430 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, covering Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: Standardized protocol for in-app purchases across all platforms — backed by Meta & Amazon. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says review-self
  • Asks Claude to review its own changes
  • Requests a self-review loop
  • Wants current work monitored for new issues after implementation

Example prompts

  • “review-self”
  • “/review-self”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 75aa01c. 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 Self loads about 429 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 125 tokens; SKILL.md has 154 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~125
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~429

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.

Independently review and simplify the agent's current implementation, working-tree changes, or pull request; enforce KISS and repository SSOT rules, fix actionable in-scope gaps, rerun relevant verification, and recheck at the user-requested interval (five minutes by default) until stable or genuinely blocked. Use when the user says "review-self", asks Claude to review its own changes, requests a self-review loop, or wants current work monitored for new issues after implementation.

Review Self (Claude Code)

The canonical loop definition lives in .codex/skills/review-self/SKILL.md. Read it and follow every section — authority and scope preservation, target establishment, the KISS/SSOT review round, related OpenIAP workflows, the requested-interval recheck contract, safe stopping conditions, and per-round communication are agent-agnostic and apply as written.

Claude Code Notes

  • Where the canonical file routes through $openiap-workflows, read the matching .claude/commands/*.md file directly (or use the .claude/skills/openiap-workflows skill).
  • For interval rechecks, use Claude's real wake-up mechanism for the current surface (for example a scheduled reminder / wake-up tool in Cowork or the Agent SDK). Honor the user's interval, defaulting to five minutes. If no such mechanism is available in the current session, complete the current round and report that automatic re-entry could not be scheduled — never emulate the loop with sleep, while true, or an abandoned background process.
  • Use read-only subagents (Task/Agent tool with an Explore-style agent) for independent review lenses on large or cross-cutting diffs.
