What it does

Cross Modal Review is an agent skill from inbrainfun/inbrain. Quality gate via second model. Spawn a different AI model to review work before committing. Includes refusal routing: if one model refuses, switch silently to the next. Extended in v0.25.1 with structured review-mode gating (when to invoke vs not) and a Codex code-review handoff for the diff-review case.

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 Testing & QA, covering Quality gates and Code review.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Quality gates
  • Tasks that involve Code review

Example prompts

  • “/cross-modal-review”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Capture the work product. The brain page, analysis, code diff,
  2. Load the Contract. Read the originating skill's Contract section
  3. Spawn review model. Send the work + Contract to a different
  4. Grade. Model evaluates: did the output follow the Contract?
  5. Report. Present agreement / disagreement to the user. Never

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5231990. 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:

    • codex

    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

Cross Modal Review loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 681 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.
