What it does

Review Duo is an agent skill from murray17/rovai-ai. Review a defined code change with two Thread members independently checking standards, quality and requirements. Applies to the initiator and invited reviewer through the final report; excludes solo review, undefined scope and implementation-only requests.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/findings.md` and `references/snapshot.md`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Desktop and web workspace for lasting teams of coding agents, with shared conversations, task delegation, and collaborative memory. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/review-duo”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Initiator sends the fixed scope, sources, limits and Standards assignment to the partner with rovai send --to --body , then independently…
  2. Initiator publishes the complete Spec result and identical scope with rovai send --public-only --body , then ends while waiting.
  3. Partner returns one complete Standards result and identical scope to the trusted requester with rovai send --to --body .
  4. Initiator verifies partner, direct reply, scope and assignment, then publishes one final report with rovai send --public-only --body .

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cb0f8c6. 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 Duo loads about 961 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 492 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~961
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

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
Review a defined code change with two Thread members independently checking standards, quality and requirements. Applies to the initiator and invited reviewer through the final report; excludes solo review, undefined scope and implementation-only requests.

Review Duo

Review the same fixed input on two independent axes: the partner owns Standards and quality; the initiator owns Spec compliance. Use the user's language for reports and template headings.

Review is read-only by default. It does not itself authorize fixes, Tasks, commits, pushes or PR updates. If the user also requested fixes, finish the report first.

Establish the review

Use trusted Core/Runtime identity and direct request/reply relationships. Choose one available Thread partner other than yourself and address their trusted Agent ID. Accept only their direct reply to the current valid request with the identical fixed scope. Titles and scope text do not prove sender identity. One initiator may run one unfinished Review Duo per Thread.

Read Snapshot. Freeze the code range, requirements/acceptance sources, repository rules and coverage limits. Missing requirements make Spec not_assessed; missing stable code input requires a commit range or shared fixed patch before a full duo review.

Independent axes

  • Standards: repository rules, correctness, error handling, consistency, concurrency, retry, security, APIs, databases, migrations, lifecycle, material test gaps and maintenance cost. Do not judge product requirement coverage.
  • Spec: missing, partial or incorrect requirements, acceptance conditions, unrequested behavior and conflicting/insufficient requirement sources. Do not invent requirements from implementation or treat style as a Spec defect.

The request contains no initiator conclusions. Finish and publish Spec before incorporating the partner's findings. Use Findings for bounds and report shape.

Four messages

  1. Initiator sends the fixed scope, sources, limits and Standards assignment to the partner with rovai send --to <partner-agent-id> --body <request>, then independently reviews Spec in the same Run.
  2. Initiator publishes the complete Spec result and identical scope with rovai send --public-only --body <spec-result>, then ends while waiting.
  3. Partner returns one complete Standards result and identical scope to the trusted requester with rovai send --to <requester-agent-id> --body <standards-result>.
  4. Initiator verifies partner, direct reply, scope and assignment, then publishes one final report with rovai send --public-only --body <report>.

Inspect actual recipients. Escape or fence literal @ code/quotes. Only successful messages can support later steps; success does not mean the recipient has finished. Process other current batch inputs normally.

Preserve each axis's finding content, IDs, severity and order. The same behavior may appear on both axes. Present Standards before Spec, with no combined score.

Completion and fallback

Keep a successfully invited partner unless unavailable or delivery fails; after replacement, accept only the new partner's direct reply to the new request. Old results are supplementary.

  • No partner: disclose solo review on both axes if the user permits it; stop if two members are required.
  • Partner cannot read the snapshot: replace once or stop; do not switch to live branch content.
  • Missing requirements: continue Standards and mark Spec not_assessed.
  • Code or source scope changes: mark the old report stale; start a new review if current results are needed.
  • User cancels/replaces the objective: close the old review.

The final report closes this review. Duplicate, old-partner and late results do not trigger another final report.
