What it does

Spk Run Implement Review is an agent skill from spec-kitty/spec-kitty. Orchestrate Spec Kitty work-package implementation and review loops until all packages are done, approved, or correctly rejected.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 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 Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Spec-Driven Development with organizational governance. Specs tell AI agents what to build; Charter governs how they build it. Git-native missions, enforceable workflows, and… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/spk-run-implement-review”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Use spk-run-next to identify the active WP and lane.
  2. Dispatch implementation only from runtime-provided prompt context.
  3. Review each WP independently with spk-run-review-wp.
  4. On rejection, feed structured reviewer feedback back into the next
  5. Continue until runtime returns terminal or a blocker.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e533131. 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

Spk Run Implement Review loads about 525 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 269 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~525

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.

spk-run-implement-review

Use this skill when a mission is in implementation/review lanes or the user wants the agent to coordinate implementers and reviewers.

Flow

  1. Use spk-run-next to identify the active WP and lane.
  2. Dispatch implementation only from runtime-provided prompt context.
  3. Review each WP independently with spk-run-review-wp.
  4. On rejection, feed structured reviewer feedback back into the next implementation attempt.
  5. Continue until runtime returns terminal or a blocker.

Sub-Agent Long-Gate Contract

move-task --to for_review runs the pre-review regression gate synchronously as part of the transition (#2570/#2493/#2555): it derives the affected test scope for the Mission's changed files and runs it at head before the command returns. That scoped run is a real subprocess and can take from seconds to a few minutes depending on scope size.

  • A dispatched implement/review sub-agent MUST poll the gate invocation to completion — treat the move-task --to for_review command as still in flight until it exits, not as a fire-and-forget hand-back. Do not assume control returns immediately, and do not kill or retry the command while it is still running.
  • To skip the gate for a single invocation, pass --skip-pre-review-gate. To disable it process-wide, set SPEC_KITTY_SKIP_PRE_REVIEW_GATE — the gate's own opt-out name; it no longer reads the sync-disable vocabulary (#3980). Either opt-out skips the gate before it resolves a workspace or spawns the subprocess.
  • Absent an opt-out, the gate always enforces by default. An orchestrator observing a sub-agent that appears to hang on a for_review transition should first check whether the gate's scoped test subprocess is still running before treating the sub-agent as stuck.

Legacy Alias

For detailed orchestration mechanics, use spec-kitty-implement-review when available.
