Run a bounded cross-model peer review and fix loop, or report findings in read-only mode.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Review Loop — Cross-LLM Iterative Code Review

Spawns a peer reviewer (Codex, Claude, or Gemini) to independently review your code changes.
The host agent evaluates findings, implements accepted fixes, and re-submits for peer re-review.
Iterates until both agents agree on the final code state.

**Key**: You (the human) do NOT need to participate. Watch progress via `.review-loop/<session>/rounds.json` and `summary.md`.

**Compatibility note**: `rounds.json` keeps the historical field name `claude_actions` for backward compatibility. In Codex-hosted runs, that field still stores the host agent's decisions and code changes.

## Prerequisites

- **Required**: `git` CLI
- **Peer (one of)**: `codex` CLI (`codex --version`), `claude` CLI (`claude --version`), or `gemini` CLI (`gemini --version`)
- **Optional**: `gh` CLI (for PR scope detection)

## Configuration

### Defaults

| Setting | Default | Options |
|---------|---------|---------|
| `peer_reviewer` | `codex` | `codex`, `claude`, `gemini` |
| `max_rounds` | `5` | 1–10 |
| `timeout_per_round` | `600` | seconds |
| `scope_preference` | `auto` | `auto`, `diff`, `branch`, `pr` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stone16/harness-engineering-skills/review-loop@sha256:e7b3e489d56168c9

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
