What it does

Recursive Review Bundle is an agent skill from try-works/recursive-mode. Use when recursive-mode work needs a canonical delegated-review or audit handoff. Generates reproducible review bundles for Phase 3.5 code review, test review, or other delegated checks using the repo review-bundle scripts.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Recursive workflow for agentic engineering. Like Factory Missions but properly recursive, free and open source. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Requirements

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ff75bc7. 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:
- python
- pwsh
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

Recursive Review Bundle loads about 873 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 225 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~62
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.

name: recursive-review-bundle
description: Use when recursive-mode work needs a canonical delegated-review or audit handoff. Generates reproducible review bundles for Phase 3.5 code review, test review, or other delegated checks using the repo review-bundle scripts.

recursive-review-bundle

Use this skill to prepare a canonical review bundle before delegating an audit or review in recursive-mode.

This skill does not replace /.recursive/RECURSIVE.md. It packages the context bundle that delegated reviewers need so the review is durable, reproducible, and acceptable to the workflow.

Canonical Scripts

Use the repo scripts:

./.recursive/scripts/recursive-review-bundle.py
./.recursive/scripts/recursive-review-bundle.ps1

Prefer the Python script when both toolchains are available. Use the PowerShell wrapper when the delegated path is already PowerShell-oriented.

Minimum Inputs

Provide all of:

repo root
run id
phase name
reviewer role
artifact path being reviewed
exact upstream artifact paths
relevant audit questions
required output shape

Add explicit evidence refs or addenda when they matter. The bundle generator will also auto-discover relevant addenda and skill-memory refs when applicable.

Typical Commands

bash

python ./.recursive/scripts/recursive-review-bundle.py \
  --repo-root . \
  --run-id "<run-id>" \
  --phase "03.5 Code Review" \
  --role code-reviewer \
  --artifact-path "/.recursive/run/<run-id>/03.5-code-review.md" \
  --upstream-artifact "/.recursive/run/<run-id>/00-requirements.md" \
  --upstream-artifact "/.recursive/run/<run-id>/02-to-be-plan.md" \

Acceptance Rules

Record Review Bundle Path in the delegated phase artifact.
Refresh the bundle after material repairs or scope changes.
Require the reviewer to cite the bundle path, upstream artifacts reread, relevant addenda, changed files or code refs reviewed, and a final verdict.
Do not treat a bare bundle file as proof of review quality; the written review still has to use the bundle contents.

Routing Awareness

If the prepared bundle will be handed to a routed reviewer, re-read:

/.recursive/config/recursive-router.json
/.recursive/config/recursive-router-discovered.json

immediately before the delegated call, and include the relevant routing-path citations in the review or action-record metadata.
