What Review Loop does

Review Loop runs an implement-then-check cycle with a fresh independent checker before a change is marked done. Use it for behavioral changes, especially when you need an adversarial second pass on the current revision.

Review Loop is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Review Loop comes from a repository tagged agents, ai-assistant, ai-coding, ai-framework and ai-pair-programming.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

review-loop — the independent adversarial loop

Nobody grades their own exam. The maker implements, a separate fresh checker tries to break the claim, and the two alternate until the checker approves the code as it stands right now.

When this applies

Any change to behaviour: executable code, shell/Python/JS/TS/SQL, CI/CD, hooks, commands, agent and skill definitions, runtime prompts, and configuration that changes what the system does.

Exempt: prose documentation, marketing copy, typos, and formatting that cannot change behaviour. When a documentation-only change also touches something a runtime reads, it is behavioural. If you are unsure which side a change falls on, treat it as behavioural.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
