What it does

Squid Review is an agent skill from iusztinpaul/squid. Push the committed feature branch, create or update its PR, then run Product Architect acceptance and PR-Reviewer on it. Output: a clean PR with no blockers, or ONE rollup task. Trigger after a feature's tasks are implemented and committed.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 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 licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • After a features tasks are implemented and committed

Example prompts

  • “/squid-review”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Push + create/update the PR
  2. PA acceptance (Any product issues?)
  3. PR-Reviewer (Any Blockers?)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f5bf6b3. 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

Squid Review loads about 873 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 300 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~873

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.

Review — push, PA acceptance, PR review

Take the committed feature branch and turn it into a clean, pushed feature PR — or a rollup task describing what to fix. Both gates run on the pushed PR, sequentially: Product Architect (PA) acceptance first, then PR-Reviewer.

You are the orchestrator — a MANAGER. You push, launch the review agents, enforce the gates, and route failures back as rollup tasks. You do NOT review the diff, write code, or merge.

Read AGENTS.md first (tracker mode). Retry caps are below; the Severity Rule lives in the PR-Reviewer's role definition.

Input: a feature branch whose tasks are implemented and committed (the worktree when orchestrated by /squid-implement-night; the current branch when run standalone). Output: a pushed feature PR with NO blockers (Nits appended to the PR description), OR ONE rollup task.

Critical rules:

  • Never rubber-stamp an ACCEPT or NO BLOCKERS — spot-check the evidence; re-launch with feedback if it's thin.
  • One rollup task per failed gate, never one ticket per issue.

Step 1 — Push + create/update the PR

Agent(
  subagent_type="squid:software-engineer",
  prompt="""Push feature {title} and open/update its PR per your Push / open PR section. {Working directory: {path}.}
  The PR description summarizes the feature and lists each task by ID. Hand back the PR number."""
)

Capture the PR number for the gates below.


Step 2 — PA acceptance (Any product issues?)

Agent(
  subagent_type="squid:product-architect",
  prompt="""Acceptance review for feature {title} on PR #{N}. Read AGENTS.md first. Follow your acceptance-review role.
  {Working directory: {path}.}
  Walk the feature from the user's perspective against the Tasks Plan's acceptance criteria. Verdict: ACCEPT or REJECT. On REJECT, write ONE rollup task capturing ALL product issues."""
)
  • ACCEPT (verified) → Step 3.
  • REJECT → the PA filed ONE rollup task. Return it (see Output).
  • Cap: PA REJECT max 3 per feature. On the 4th would-be REJECT, stop and surface USER ACTION REQUIRED.

Step 3 — PR-Reviewer (Any Blockers?)

Agent(
  subagent_type="squid:pr-reviewer",
  prompt="""Review PR #{N} (branch feat/{slug}). Read AGENTS.md first. Follow your role definition.
  {Working directory: {path}.}
  Walk every review dimension, including the Simplicity / anti-over-engineering pass. Produce ONE rollup task if there are Blockers; else report NO BLOCKERS and append the Nits to the PR description."""
)
  • NO BLOCKERS → done. Nits are already on the PR description. Output: the clean pushed PR (#{N}).
  • Blockers → the PR-Reviewer filed ONE rollup task (Blockers + Nits). Return it (see Output).
  • Cap: PR-Reviewer max 3 per feature. On the 4th would-be Blockers verdict, stop and surface USER ACTION REQUIRED.

Output

  • Pass → "Feature PR #{N} clean (no blockers)." Hand to /squid-review-ci (or the human) for CI validation.
  • Fail → ONE rollup task. The caller (/squid-implement-night) routes it back through /squid-implement-task, then re-invokes /squid-review.
