review-self

description

Independently review and improve the agent's current implementation, working-tree changes, or pull request; fix actionable in-scope gaps; rerun relevant verification; and recheck at five-minute intervals until the work is stable or genuinely blocked. Use when the user says "review-self", asks Claude to review its own changes, requests a self-review loop, or wants current work monitored for new issues after implementation.

Review Self (Claude Code)

The canonical loop definition lives in .codex/skills/review-self/SKILL.md. Read it and follow every section — authority and scope preservation, target establishment, the review round, related OpenIAP workflows, the five-minute recheck contract, safe stopping conditions, and per-round communication are agent-agnostic and apply as written.

Claude Code Notes

• Where the canonical file routes through $openiap-workflows, read the matching .claude/commands/*.md file directly (or use the .claude/skills/openiap-workflows skill).
• For the five-minute recheck, use Claude's real wake-up mechanism for the current surface (for example a scheduled reminder / wake-up tool in Cowork or the Agent SDK). If no such mechanism is available in the current session, complete the current round and report that automatic re-entry could not be scheduled — never emulate the loop with sleep 300, while true, or an abandoned background process.
• Use read-only subagents (Task/Agent tool with an Explore-style agent) for independent review lenses on large or cross-cutting diffs.
