quick-review
Reviews uncommitted changes inline without saving by default. Use when requesting a quick review, checking a small local diff, or reviewing without a saved artifact.
SKILL.mdycc/skills/quick-review/SKILL.md
GitHubQuick Review
Interactive low-friction review of uncommitted changes. Output is inline. The default fix path is artifact-free.
Operational context: "Apply fixes" delegates inline findings to /ycc:quick-fix without an artifact; "Save to file" saves under docs/prps/reviews/; "Write file and apply fixes" saves an artifact and delegates to /ycc:review-fix. Writes require confirmation unless a documented scripted action selects them.
Input: $ARGUMENTS
Core rule: "Apply fixes" must not write a review artifact. It hands the
inline findings directly to /ycc:quick-fix. Only "Save to file" and
"Write file and apply fixes" write docs/prps/reviews/quick-*.md.
Phase 0 — Parse flags
Extract flags from $ARGUMENTS:
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--parallel |
Fan out REVIEW across 3 standalone ycc:code-reviewer sub-agents (correctness, security, quality) and merge findings. Works in Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex bundles. |
--team |
(Claude Code only) Same 3-reviewer fan-out as a coordinated agent team with shared TaskList, per-reviewer TaskCreate, and coordinated shutdown. Heavier dispatch, richer communication. |
--yes |
Skip the confirmation prompt and behave as "Apply fixes" through /ycc:quick-fix. Mutually exclusive with --save and --write-and-apply. |
--save |
Skip the confirmation prompt and behave as "Save to file" (write artifact, print Next steps, exit). Mutually exclusive with --yes and --write-and-apply. |
--write-and-apply |
Skip the confirmation prompt, write the review artifact, then hand off to /ycc:review-fix. Mutually exclusive with --yes and --save. |
--severity <level> |
Forwarded to /ycc:quick-fix or /ycc:review-fix during hand-off. Valid: CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW. Default: HIGH. Ignored on "Save to file" / "Discard". |
--no-worktree |
Accepted as a no-op. Quick mode never creates a worktree. Emit a note: --no-worktree has no effect in quick mode. |
Strip these from $ARGUMENTS and set PARALLEL_MODE, AGENT_TEAM_MODE,
AUTO_YES, AUTO_SAVE, AUTO_WRITE_AND_APPLY, and MIN_SEVERITY (default
HIGH). The remaining text MUST be empty; if not, abort with:
Error: /ycc:quick-review takes no positional argument (only flags).

Questions: class choose-path (Phase 4 review action); headless (no question tool or chat turn): behave as --save (Save to file). See ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/_shared/references/question-policy.md.
Phase 1 — GATHER
git diff --name-only HEAD
If the output is empty, print Nothing to review. and exit. Do NOT prompt,
do NOT write anything.
Capture the list of changed files as CHANGED_FILES for the REVIEW phase.
Phase 2 — REVIEW
Neither flag: Path A single-pass (default). PARALLEL_MODE: Path B,
3 parallel reviewers. AGENT_TEAM_MODE: Path C, 3-reviewer agent team.
Findings from all paths stay in memory. Do not write to disk here.
Path A — Single-Pass Review (default)
Read each changed file in full and apply the Local / Quick Review — Single-Pass Checklist and Severity Rubric. Flag only gaps that affect correctness or the stated requirements. From:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/_shared/references/review-checklist.md
Path B / C — fan-out (PARALLEL_MODE or AGENT_TEAM_MODE)
Generate TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S) once; reuse it for run-id
quick-<TIMESTAMP>, the team name, and any later quick-<TIMESTAMP>-review.md.
Read only on this path:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/_shared/references/review-dispatch.md${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/_shared/references/standalone-dispatch.md(--parallel)${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/_shared/references/agent-team-dispatch.md(--team)
Use the Local / Quick Mode Roster and Standard Findings Format from
review-checklist.md; merge via its Merge Procedure into one list for Phase 3.
The reviewer prompt states: flag only gaps that affect correctness or the
stated requirements. Scratch under
docs/prps/reviews/.review-scratch/quick-<TIMESTAMP>/ is always removed at the
end of Phase 5, even on "Discard" and "Apply fixes" — the one ephemeral
exception to the artifact-free guarantee.
Phase 3 — REPORT (inline)
Assign IDs and initial Status after merge using the shared artifact schema loaded below (Finding ID rules: ordered by severity, CRITICAL first, then by file path); the same contract applies to inline findings.
Compute:
critical_count,high_count,medium_count,low_counttotal_findingsfinding_file_count(unique files with findings)large_review = total_findings >= 5 || finding_file_count >= 3
Print the review to stdout in the quick-mode variant of the Review Artifact Format, without writing a file. Read the schema:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/_shared/references/review-artifact-format.md
Header: # Quick Review — Uncommitted Changes, **Mode**: Quick (inline),
**Author**: local, **Branch**: <current-branch>,
**Decision**: (pending user confirmation), then Summary, Findings (all four
fields per finding, Status: Open) and Files Reviewed. No Worktree Setup or
Validation Results sections. Categories: Security | Correctness | Code Quality
| Best Practices.
After the artifact block, print:
Findings: [C] {critical_count} [H] {high_count} [M] {medium_count} [L] {low_count}
If large_review=true, also print:
Large quick review: {total_findings} findings across {finding_file_count} files.
You can still apply fixes directly, or write an artifact before applying fixes for an audit trail.
If the count is zero across all severities, skip Phase 4 entirely. Print
No findings. Nothing to do. and exit.
Keep the exact printed review block in memory as INLINE_REVIEW_PAYLOAD for
/ycc:quick-fix or artifact writing.
Phase 4 — DECIDE (confirmation)
If AUTO_YES=true -> skip this phase, proceed directly to Phase 5 as if the
user selected "Apply fixes".
If AUTO_SAVE=true -> skip this phase, proceed directly to Phase 5 as if the
user selected "Save to file".
If AUTO_WRITE_AND_APPLY=true -> skip this phase, proceed directly to Phase 5
as if the user selected "Write file and apply fixes".
Otherwise, ask the user with AskUserQuestion.
For normal reviews (large_review=false):
question: "What should I do with this review?"
header: "Review action"
options:
- label: "Apply fixes"
description: "Hand findings directly to /ycc:quick-fix. No review file is written. (recommended)"
- label: "Save to file"
description: "Write docs/prps/reviews/quick-<timestamp>-review.md and stop."
- label: "Discard"
description: "Write nothing, exit"
For large reviews (large_review=true):
question: "This is a larger quick review. What should I do?"
header: "Review action"
options:
- label: "Apply fixes"
description: "Hand findings directly to /ycc:quick-fix. No review file is written."
- label: "Write file and apply fixes"
description: "Write docs/prps/reviews/quick-<timestamp>-review.md, then use /ycc:review-fix for an audit trail. (recommended)"
- label: "Save to file"
description: "Write docs/prps/reviews/quick-<timestamp>-review.md and stop."
- label: "Discard"
description: "Write nothing, exit"
Mark "Apply fixes" with (Recommended) when large_review=false and
critical_count + high_count > 0. Mark "Write file and apply fixes" with
(Recommended) when large_review=true.
Text-mode fallback (no question tool, chat turn available): follow the shared
fallback in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/_shared/references/question-policy.md.

Discardif still ambiguous.
Phase 5 — HAND-OFF
Branch on the user's selection (or auto-confirm flag). If PARALLEL_MODE=true
(Path B was used), remove the docs/prps/reviews/.review-scratch/quick-<TIMESTAMP>/
scratch directory before exiting — regardless of which branch below is
taken, including "Discard" and "Apply fixes".
Selection: "Discard"
Print Discarded. No artifact written. and exit. Do NOT write any file.
Selection: "Apply fixes"
Invoke the ycc:quick-fix skill inline via the Skill tool. Do NOT write an
artifact first.
skill:"ycc:quick-fix"args:"[--parallel] [--severity <level>] <INLINE_REVIEW_PAYLOAD>"
Forward --parallel if PARALLEL_MODE=true. Forward --severity <level> when
MIN_SEVERITY != HIGH (HIGH is the default on quick-fix).
After the Skill call returns, print:
Fixes complete. No review artifact was written.
Exit.
Selection: "Save to file"
Write the artifact to disk using the Phase 3 content plus the canonical header block:
mkdir -p docs/prps/reviews
TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S) # reuse the Path C timestamp if set
REVIEW_FILE="docs/prps/reviews/quick-${TIMESTAMP}-review.md"
Write the same artifact content that was printed in Phase 3, but set
**Decision**: COMMENT in the header (since a review was produced but no
GitHub decision is being posted).
Print:
Quick review written to: docs/prps/reviews/quick-<TIMESTAMP>-review.md
Findings: [C] {critical_count} [H] {high_count} [M] {medium_count} [L] {low_count}
Next steps:
/ycc:review-fix docs/prps/reviews/quick-<TIMESTAMP>-review.md # apply fixes {recommended_single if 1-2 Open findings}
/ycc:review-fix docs/prps/reviews/quick-<TIMESTAMP>-review.md --parallel # fan out fixes {recommended_parallel if 3+ Open across 2+ files}
Annotate ONE command with # <- recommended:
- 1-2 Open findings -> recommend the single-pass form.
- 3+ Open findings spanning 2+ files -> recommend the
--parallelform. - Otherwise default to the single-pass form.
Exit.
Selection: "Write file and apply fixes"
Step 1 — write the artifact to disk exactly as in "Save to file".
Step 2 — invoke the ycc:review-fix skill inline via the Skill tool:
skill:"ycc:review-fix"args:"<REVIEW_FILE> [--parallel] [--severity <level>]"
Forward --parallel if PARALLEL_MODE=true. Forward --severity <level> when
MIN_SEVERITY != HIGH.
Step 3 — after the Skill call returns, print:
Fixes complete. Review artifact updated in place: docs/prps/reviews/quick-<TIMESTAMP>-review.md
Step 4 — exit.
Note: --team from quick-review is NOT forwarded to either fix workflow
automatically. The review-phase fan-out is about finding issues quickly; the
fix phase has its own execution decision.
Important Notes
- Apply fixes is artifact-free: direct apply routes to
/ycc:quick-fixwithout writingdocs/prps/reviews/quick-*.md. - Scratch is the one ephemeral exception: when Path B (
--parallel) is used, the calling skill persists each valid inline return to its scratch copy atdocs/prps/reviews/.review-scratch/quick-<TIMESTAMP>/<reviewer-name>.mdduring theAgentdispatch in Phase 2. It is always deleted at the end of Phase 5 before the skill returns control to the user — including on "Discard" and "Apply fixes" — so the "no file written" guarantee still holds for anything the user can observe afterward. - Large reviews are advisory:
5+findings or3+finding files adds a "Write file and apply fixes" choice. It does not force artifact creation. - Explicit artifact-backed apply: only
--write-and-applyor the matching prompt choice writes the artifact and invokes/ycc:review-fix. - Idempotent filename: the
quick-{YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS}-review.mdpattern produces a new file per artifact-writing invocation — no overwrites. - Not a replacement for
/ycc:code-review: if you need toolchain validation (typecheck/lint/test/build), a## Validation Resultsblock, worktree isolation, or a GitHub review posted, use/ycc:code-reviewwithout--quick.
