Peter Steinberger: Hopes Codex Will Automatically Enter /review Mode and Self-Check for Bugs
Developer Peter Steinberger stated that his most desired feature is for Codex to automatically enter /review mode after completing a task, continuously self-checking the code until no bugs (booboos) are found.
He has explicitly stated that he will build this feature himself.
This demand reflects developers' strong expectations for Agents to have persistent autonomous error-correction capabilities. Coding Agents like Codex are evolving from one-time generation tools to systems that can self-iterate and reliably deliver.

Peter Steinberger has been using AI coding tools deeply for a long time. This demand continues the exploration of persistent work by developers like Riley Brown with /todo skills and Garry Tan with Skillify, focusing on enabling Agents to automatically trigger review-fix loops after task completion without multiple human interventions.
In terms of capital pathways, top developers are investing energy into building higher-level self-supervision mechanisms for Agents (review loop + bug detection), significantly improving code quality and delivery reliability through custom skills or multi-Agent collaboration. This will accelerate the iteration of platforms like Codex and Cursor towards "trustworthy autonomous delivery."
Similar to Garry Tan's multi-Agent dialogue and Riley Brown's /todo organizational capabilities, current coding Agents are in the early stages of transforming from "help me write code" to "help me write well, fix it, until it's perfect." Self-loop review will become a core competitive advantage.
Structural judgment: Essentially a technological replacement. The automatic review loop allows AI to directly replace the manual code review and iteration process, relying on the combination of persistent memory and self-correction capabilities, greatly reducing developers' time investment in later debugging and shifting productivity from "generating code" to "reliable delivery systems."

Writing code is easy; writing correct code and fixing it oneself is hard.
The best Agent does not finish in one go but finds bugs by itself until perfection.
Whoever first makes the "automatic review loop" a standard will hold the pricing power for the next generation of reliable AI development.
