agy-review

Run anything past the agy CLI for a quick adversarial critique — questionable assumptions, flaws, risks, gaps, failure modes, and a SHIP/REVISE/RETHINK verdict — from a second, independent model. Use it to harden a thing before you commit to it, not to replace your own judgment.

It reviews whatever you give it — a plan or design is just one case. Also: a code change, an essay or doc, a product/architecture decision, an argument or pitch, a config, a prompt, a name, an idea. Raw code, numbered specs, prose — all fine.

What to review (arguments)

Invoked as /agy-review [text or file to review]. Interpret the argument — $ARGUMENTS — as what to critique:

• a file path → review its contents (pass it with -f);
• pasted text or an inline description → review that;
• nothing → review the most relevant artifact in the current context (e.g. the plan, draft, or decision you just produced), and state what you picked.

How to run it

One script does everything: scripts/agy-review.sh. Give it the content via stdin, a file, or an argument; add -c to say what the thing is so the critique is on-target.

bash
# pipe content in (most common when reviewing your own draft)
printf '%s\n' "$THING" | scripts/agy-review.sh -

# from a file, with context about what it is / the goal
scripts/agy-review.sh -f design.md -c "B2B SaaS onboarding flow; must ship this sprint"
scripts/agy-review.sh -f rate-limiter.md -c "Node/Express service behind a load balancer"

It prints the critique to stdout and exits 0. Read the bullets, then weigh them — adopt the real ones, dismiss the off-base ones, and tell the user which is which.

Model

Defaults to Gemini 3.5 Flash (High) (Flash in its highest thinking mode), per preference. Override with AGY_REVIEW_MODEL="<name>" (see agy models for exact strings) or -m.

Reading the result

The last line is VERDICT: SHIP / REVISE / RETHINK - <biggest issue>. Treat it as input, not a verdict you must obey:

• SHIP — no blocking issues found; still skim the bullets.
• REVISE — fix the flagged issues, then proceed.
• RETHINK — it may be fundamentally off; reconsider before committing.

Always reconcile the critique with your own reasoning and the actual context. A second model is good at catching blind spots and bad at knowing your context — keep what's true, drop what isn't, and tell the user which is which.

Notes

• Needs the agy CLI on PATH (agy --version). Missing → exit 2.
• The script runs agy from a throwaway empty directory, so it never reads, edits, or crawls your repo — it just asks agy a question and prints the answer.
• Reviews typically run in ~5–20s.
• Env knobs: AGY_REVIEW_MODEL · AGY_PRINT_TIMEOUT (2m) · AGY_HARD_TIMEOUT (150s).
• Exit codes: 0 critique printed · 1 usage error · 2 agy not found or returned nothing.
