Critic
An AI code review tool that enables the same agent responsible for generating code to review its own output. By leveraging the agent's complete contextual knowledge of the generation process, it identifies potential issues in produced code and serves as an automated quality-control checkpoint within AI-assisted programming workflows.

DeReAct's Critic component validates an action before it is actually executed, and only actions that pass review are permitted to act on the environment.
Critic is a project showcased on Hacker News in the Show HN format, whose core idea is to have the AI Agent that writes the code also review the code it wrote.
Critic is positioned to embed the review step into the Agent's workflow, making the same Agent both the author and the reviewer.
If the author and the reviewer are the same model with the same reasoning logic, the model's own systematic biases cannot be eliminated through self-review.
Critic currently has 5 upvotes and 1 comment on Hacker News, with limited discussion activity, and is in an early showcase stage.
The Critic sub-agent is responsible only for reviewing work, does not build anything itself, and has no memory of previous iterations, in order to ensure consistency of judgment.
