Who it is forA developer who wants a second look at a change before merging, without the reviewer modifying the code.
The problemAsking the same agent that wrote a change to review it gives little independent check, and a reviewer that can edit may silently change the code.
The outcomeA reviewer report with a machine-readable status header, where unsupported success claims are downgraded to partial.
What you need first
- A CluxMate install (install steps are not in the README excerpt provided, so follow the README's install section)
- An OpenAI-compatible API endpoint, its base_url, and an API key
- A git repository for the project you want the agent to work on
Steps
- Open the project in the TUI by running
cluxmatefrom the repository root. - Ask the main agent to delegate the review to the
reviewersubagent for the files you name. - Read the child report and its status header, which includes status, end reason, turns used, and elapsed time.
- Check any issue the reviewer raises against the code yourself before acting on it.
Prompt for your agent
Use the CluxMate repo (r1c7/CluxMate) to ask the reviewer subagent to review <files or diff>. Expected output: a review report with a status header. Verify that the reviewer made no file edits by checking git status before and after.
Caveat. The README describes the reviewer as evidence-gated and fixing nothing, but it does not say how to invoke a subagent from the CLI, so the invocation runs through the interactive agent.
