What is Cross-Model Review?

The Cross-Model Review skill provides a robust framework for adversarial plan validation, ensuring that AI-generated implementation strategies are scrutinized by a second, independent model. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, developers can prevent common pitfalls in high-stakes areas like authentication, payments, and data modeling. This skill facilitates a rigorous 'second opinion' process that identifies edge cases and architectural flaws before a single line of code is written.

At its core, the skill supports both a static mode with fixed roles and a sophisticated alternating mode. In alternating mode, models swap between writer and reviewer roles across multiple rounds. This ensures that each model must eventually implement its own critiques, leading to natural convergence and higher-quality implementation plans that have been vetted by the best available LLMs.

Cross-Model Review Use Cases

  • Reviewing implementation plans for sensitive systems like authentication or payment gateways.
  • Sanity checking multi-step development tasks that are estimated to take over an hour to implement.
  • Challenging complex data model changes to ensure architectural integrity and prevent regressions.
  • Automating the refinement of AI-generated code plans through cross-provider model validation using Openclaw Skills.

How Cross-Model Review Works

  1. Initialize a review workspace using the CLI, specifying the target plan file and the primary models involved.
  2. The autonomous loop begins by spawning the first model to either write the initial plan or refine it based on context.
  3. A second model acts as a reviewer, identifying critical or high-priority blockers and outputting structured feedback.
  4. In alternating mode, the roles swap, forcing the new writer to address the specific concerns raised in the previous round.
  5. The state machine tracks progress through multiple rounds until both models reach an APPROVED status or hit the round limit.
  6. The finalization step aggregates the results, producing a verified plan, a changelog, and a technical summary of resolved issues.

Cross-Model Review Setup

To get started with this skill within the Openclaw Skills framework, use the following initialization command:

node review.js init \
  --plan ./path/to/plan.md \
  --mode alternating \
  --model-a "anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet" \
  --model-b "openai/gpt-4o" \
  --project-context "Internal API migration" \
  --out ./tasks/reviews

Cross-Model Review Data Schema & Taxonomy

The skill maintains a structured workspace to track the review lifecycle. This organization is essential for complex Openclaw Skills implementations:

File Purpose
meta.json Stores workspace state, including modes, models, and the current round counter.
issues.json Tracks the full lifecycle of all identified issues, from discovery to resolution.
plan-final.md The finalized, approved version of the implementation plan ready for execution.
summary.json A high-level overview of the review process, including rounds taken and verdict.
round-N-response.json Raw model outputs for each specific round of the adversarial loop.

Cross-Model Review Advanced Features

  • Fully autonomous orchestration that requires zero human intervention between review rounds.
  • Cross-provider enforcement which mandates that models come from different families to ensure diverse perspectives.
  • Automated issue tracking with built-in deduplication to prevent semantic drift across multiple iterations.
  • Configurable token budgets and max-round limits to manage costs and execution time effectively.
  • Integration ready for coding agents, allowing them to block implementation until the plan passes the Openclaw Skills review gate.
