old-coder Turns Uncle Bob's Agent Advice Into a Skill: Review the Test Plan and Evidence Report, Never the Code

AmazingAng/old-coder (created 2026-07-27, 153 stars, MIT) encodes a strategy Robert C. Martin posted publicly: do not read the agent's code, make it run a gauntlet. The skill forces the agent to hand over a test plan before coding and an evidence report after, and the human reviews those two documents instead of the diff. It is plain markdown with a SKILL.md and a references/gauntlet.md, installable via npx skills add and usable from Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Aider or a custom loop. Small and single-source at 153 stars, but it names the review-bottleneck problem more precisely than most tooling in this category.
