SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It guarantees that both design plans and code changes meet Collie's strict quality standards, preventing hidden issues, redundant work, and sycophantic approvals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mode detection: Automatically identifies plan, code, or ad‑hoc contexts.
  • Comprehensive checks: Enforces the 12 red‑line violations, answers 10 review questions, and runs the ELEPHANT anti‑sycophancy self‑check.
  • Subagent isolation: Dispatches an Opus subagent to perform the review safely and returns a fixed‑format report.
  • Integration points: Used in Collie’s auto workflow, gated‑workflow step, or any manual review scenario.

Quick Start

Invoke the review with /collie-harness:auto "review this change" to run the Collie rubric reviewer.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce code review quality gates for both plan documents and code diffs?

You can enforce code review quality gates by running automated Collie rubric reviews on plan documents or code diffs. The review checks 12 red-line violations, answers 10 review questions, and runs an anti-sycophancy self-check to prevent hidden issues and biased approvals.

What is the best way to automate anti-sycophancy checks during software code reviews?

Automating anti-sycophancy checks is best done by dispatching an isolated Opus subagent to apply the ELEPHANT criteria. This ensures rigorous, objective evaluation of code diffs without sycophantic approvals or developer bias.

Can I use the Collie rubric reviewer for both planning and coding phases of software development?

Yes, you can use the Collie rubric reviewer during both planning and coding phases. It features automatic mode detection to identify plan, code, or ad-hoc contexts, applying the appropriate quality standards to each phase.

How do I run a manual review using the Collie rubric standards?

To run a manual review, invoke the review through the Collie auto workflow with your request. The system dispatches an Opus subagent to safely perform the comprehensive checks and returns a fixed-format report with the results.

Does the Collie rubric review require any external dependencies or libraries to function?

No, the Collie rubric review does not require any external dependencies or libraries to function. It operates independently by leveraging an Opus subagent to enforce quality gates and return fixed-format reports.

Why does my automated code review miss redundant work and hidden issues in plan documents?

Automated code review misses redundant work because it lacks strict rubric enforcement. Applying the 12 red-line checks and 10 review questions during the planning phase prevents hidden issues and redundant work before coding begins.
