Code Quality Loop

Automated code review cycle: review -> fix -> re-review until clean. Focuses on code-level quality (correctness, style, error handling, tests). It runs as a paired-session review-only run (Step 0).

Step 0 — Entry: paired route (the legacy workflow was removed in v2.13.0)

Resolve entry in .review-loop/config.md (exact values legacy and paired-session): legacy is refused with code-quality-loop: the legacy workflow was removed in v2.13.0; remove "entry: legacy" from .review-loop/config.md (paired-session is the only entry); an invalid value prints code-quality-loop: entry "<v>" is not valid (paired-session is the only entry); using paired-session, a duplicate key or an unreadable config prints code-quality-loop: entry could not be read (<reason>); using paired-session, and both continue as absent. Then:

• --legacy in $ARGUMENTS: refused with code-quality-loop: the legacy workflow was removed in v2.13.0; run /review-loop:code-quality-loop without --legacy.
• A host that is neither macOS (uname -s is Darwin) nor native Windows (Git Bash: uname -s starts with MINGW64_NT- or MSYS_NT-): refused with code-quality-loop: paired-session needs macOS or native Windows; Linux (WSL included) and other hosts are not supported.
• Otherwise the paired route. This skill owns the notice lines of steps 1 and 3: print each verbatim as visible reply text (not only in a tool call), as the first output after resolving entry and before any other tool call or skill invocation, also on a headless run. The paired-session skill prints them only when they are missing.
  1. Print code-quality-loop: paired-session review-only run (entry set in .review-loop/config.md) when the key is set, or code-quality-loop: paired-session review-only run (the default entry) when it is absent.
  2. Map the arguments; a refused one stops here with its line, before any handoff:
     • [max-rounds] N: an integer of at least 2 becomes --max-exec-rounds N (round 1 reviews the existing change; blocking reviews at the cap end in a HOLD) and wins over soft_limit_exec; absent, the paired-session skill's usual mapping applies (soft_limit_exec, else the coordinator default). Anything else is refused: code-quality-loop: max-rounds must be an integer of at least 2 on the paired route (round 1 reviews the existing change).
     • --skip-reorganize: print code-quality-loop: --skip-reorganize has no effect; the paired route never reorganizes.
     • --reorganize: refused, code-quality-loop: reorganize is not part of the paired route; run /review-loop:reorganize <files> after the run.
     • Any other argument: refused, code-quality-loop: unknown argument <arg>; usage: /review-loop:code-quality-loop [max-rounds].
     • auto_commit: false in .review-loop/config.md: hand over --auto-commit false (absent or true: the review-only default, one local commit at accept with lifecycle on; off returns the uncommitted tree).
     • judgment_model or cheap_model set in .review-loop/config.md: print, per key, code-quality-loop: <key> in .review-loop/config.md is not applied by paired-session; models come from the operator profile. (review_focus, review_style and quality_focus are passed to the run by the paired-session skill.)
  3. Print code-quality-loop: with lifecycle on, the paired route reviews, fixes, simplifies and consolidates tests. Acceptance normally makes one local commit (never a push; auto_commit: false in .review-loop/config.md keeps it uncommitted). With lifecycle off, it stops after the gate; acceptance returns the uncommitted tree. It does not reorganize, run static-analysis artifacts, load a design document or sweep project docs.
  4. Invoke the paired-session skill with --code-quality-loop and the mapped --max-exec-rounds N and --auto-commit false (if any), and end this skill. It follows the shared contract's Code-quality-loop entry: a review-only run on the uncommitted change with the quality writers on when lifecycle is on, ending at DONE (or HOLD); accept writes the delivery report.
  5. If the paired-session skill reports stage A failure: <reason>, report code-quality-loop: paired-session entry refused (<reason>) and stop (nothing falls back).
