What problem does it solve?
Ensures complex design documents receive thorough, cross-disciplinary review before implementation by coordinating Product, Architecture, Design, Security, and CTO evaluations and preventing premature development work.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Parallel multi-agent reviews: Spawns five specialist agents (PM, Architect, Designer, Security, CTO) to review a design document in parallel and aggregate structured verdicts.
- Iterative gating and escalation: Runs up to three revision cycles, consolidates blockers, and escalates to a human decision after repeated failures.
- Coordination modes: Supports Task Mode for stateless, fresh reviewers and Team Mode for persistent reviewers with context retention to reduce cold starts.
- Use Case: Use when committing docs/plans/*-design.md or after a brainstorming output to verify readiness, produce an epic, and start implementation only when all reviewers approve.
Quick Start
Trigger the design-review-gate on a design file (for example, docs/plans/user-auth-design.md) to request PM, Architect, Designer, Security, and CTO reviews and receive a consolidated approval report.
