A Claude Code mod. In a session opened at a Rev2Agent checkout's root, after each main-loop answer it asks a small model for Reviewer 2's one-line aside and shows it in a speech bubble above the prompt, beside an avatar the model picks for the line. User-facing notes are in the repository README under "Reviewer 2 bubble".
The folder is a skills-directory plugin: Claude Code loads .claude/skills/<name>/ of the session's primary working directory as <name>@skills-dir once the folder is trusted. So the mod runs only for sessions opened at the repository root, and nobody installs it. As a second guard, hooks/register.ts serves a session only when its project root has prompts/agent_workflow.md and prompts/conventions.md.
Mods need Claude Code 2.1.287 or later. Older builds skip the hooks module.
turn.start keeps the prompt and takes the bubble down. turn.complete starts the model call in the background and returns at once. Subagent turns, interruptions, refusals and errors get no aside.$.model.complete on the session's own client: the model option (sonnet by default), effort low, 300 output tokens, 30 s timeout. At most two run at once.[skeptical]); the rest is the aside. SKIP shows nothing. An unknown id falls back to the manifest's default.thinking avatar with … (terminal: a dim line). Nothing shows while the assistant is working.$.store, so a resume or a reload shows it again until the next prompt. The 20 most recent sessions are kept.userConfig in .claude-plugin/plugin.json gives two /config rows:
| Option | Default | |
|---|---|---|
enabled | true | Draft an aside after each answer |
model | sonnet | sonnet or haiku |
/reviewer2 (or /reviewer2 status) shows the state and the last result. /reviewer2 on|off changes the enabled row through $.config.set, which reloads the module with the new value. /reviewer2 again drafts an aside for the last answer once more, even when off.
| File | What it holds |
|---|---|
hooks/register.ts | Event wiring: turns, the bubble, /reviewer2, storage |
hooks/bubble.ts | Pure logic: payload, reply parsing, avatar catalog, SVG, storage index |
prompts/system.txt | Reviewer 2's system prompt (the mod appends the reply format and avatar list) |
avatars/ | 128 px round PNGs and manifest.json, exported by assets/avatars/slice_avatars.py |
tests/ | claude plugin test suites |
claude plugin validate .claude/skills/reviewer2
claude plugin test .claude/skills/reviewer2
An interactive session watches a skills-directory plugin and reloads the hooks module on save. To redraw or add avatars, generate 3x3 sheets into assets/avatars/sheets/ with the prompts in assets/avatars/PROMPTS.md (the sheets are not in git), update SHEETS in assets/avatars/slice_avatars.py, and run it; it rewrites avatars/ here.
hooks/register.ts 470 lines1// reviewer2: after the assistant answers in a session opened at a Rev2Agent
2// checkout's root, asks a small model for Reviewer 2's one-line aside and shows
3// it in a speech bubble above the right end of the prompt, beside an avatar
4// whose expression the model picks for the line.
5//
6// Flow: turn.start keeps the prompt and takes the bubble down, turn.complete
7// starts the model call in the background and returns at once, and the
8// finished line becomes the bubble unless a newer turn has begun. The bubble is
9// saved per session, so a resume or a reload shows it again until the next
10// prompt. The aside is drawn only: it never enters the conversation, so the
11// assistant never reads it and it cannot steer the research.
