What problem does it solve?
Standard code reviews often miss subtle bugs, edge cases, and spec misalignments, leading to merged defects and rework. This Skill eliminates that gap by running multiple adversarial review layers in parallel and triaging findings into clear, actionable categories so you only focus on what matters.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Parallel Adversarial Review Layers: Runs three specialized reviewers simultaneously: Blind Hunter (catches obvious issues with no project context), Edge Case Hunter (finds edge cases with full project access), and Acceptance Auditor (validates changes against provided specs and context docs).
- Structured Triage: Normalizes, deduplicates, and classifies all findings into decision-needed, patch, defer, or dismiss buckets, removing noise and prioritizing actionable items.
- Sprint Integration: Automatically syncs review outcomes to sprint status files and updates story status, fitting seamlessly into BMAD agile workflows.
- Use Case: Ideal for teams running BMAD workflows who need consistent, thorough pre-merge code reviews that align with sprint requirements and catch issues before they reach production.
