review-plugin-creator

Guided workflow for creating a custom Tessl reviewer plugin, by forking the default rubric or building one from scratch.

Install

tessl install tessl/review-plugin-creator

What it does

tessl review scores a skill against a reviewer plugin. With no --review-plugin, it uses Tessl's default rubric (Anthropic best practices). This plugin walks you through creating your own reviewer plugin so reviews reflect your team's standard, then gating CI on that score.

Three starting points:

  • Fork the default rubric – start from Tessl's default rubric (bundled with the skill) and tweak weights, anchors, or dimensions.
  • Build from scratch – author new judges from a blank template for a security-only or domain-specific reviewer.
  • Derive from evidence – ground the rubric in how your agents actually behave: existing skills, recurring PR review feedback, and agent logs showing where skills failed to activate or needed correction.

The default rubric is bundled at skills/create-review-plugin/references/default-rubric/ so you can read exactly what tessl review uses out of the box before deciding which path to take.
