SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Research projects need repeated external critique and revision before submission, but manually orchestrating review rounds, implementing fixes, and tracking progress is slow and error-prone. This Skill runs an autonomous loop that reviews work via Codex MCP, implements the suggested fixes, and re-reviews until the work passes or a round limit is reached. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Autonomous Review Cycles: Sends full research context to an external reviewer (Codex MCP with high reasoning effort), parses scores and verdicts, and iterates up to 4 rounds. - State Persistence & Recovery: Writes REVIEW_STATE.json after each round so the loop survives context compaction and can resume in-progress runs. - Structured Review Log: Maintains a cumulative AUTO_REVIEW.md with verbatim reviewer responses, actions taken, and results per round. - Optional Human Checkpoint: Can pause after each review to let the user approve, modify, skip, or stop suggested fixes. - Use Case: A researcher preparing a NeurIPS submission invokes the loop; it gets a 5/10 review, implements the ranked fixes, launches experiments, re-reviews, and stops when the reviewer scores it 7/10 and marks it ready. ## Quick Start Run the auto review loop on my current research draft and keep iterating until the reviewer says it is ready for submission.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run an autonomous review loop for a research paper?▼

Invoke the auto-review-loop skill with a topic or scope. It sends your research context to Codex MCP for a scored review, implements the ranked fixes, and re-reviews until the score reaches 6/10 with a ready verdict or 4 rounds complete.

How to automate iterative code review with an external AI reviewer?▼

Use a loop that calls Codex MCP with high reasoning effort, saves the threadId, and uses codex-reply for follow-up rounds so the reviewer retains conversation context. Each round parses the score, verdict, and action items before implementing fixes.

Can I pause the review loop to approve fixes manually?▼

Yes, set the human checkpoint option to true when invoking the loop. After each review round it presents the score, weaknesses, and suggested fixes, then waits for you to approve, customize, skip items, or stop.

What happens if the review loop hits the context window limit?▼

The loop writes REVIEW_STATE.json after every round with the round number, threadId, score, and pending experiments. On the next invocation it detects in-progress state under 24 hours old and resumes from the next round.

When does the auto review loop stop iterating?▼

It stops when the reviewer scores the work 6/10 or higher with a verdict containing ready or almost, or when 4 rounds complete. On termination it marks the state completed and writes a final summary with remaining blockers if unresolved.
