SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill facilitates an explicit, opt-in external peer-agent review process for code analysis, providing a controlled environment for comparing perspectives when needed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Explicit Intent: Trigger only when the user explicitly requests external peer-agent comparison or orchestration.
  • Focused Prompting: Build a concise prompt with relevant context and question for the peer agent.
  • Controlled Harness: Use a controlled peer-review tool with bounded timeouts and turn limits.
  • Structured Outcomes: Handle timeouts, authentication failures, and invalid outputs gracefully.
  • Direct Validation: Validate peer output directly within the session before reporting any findings.

Quick Start

To initiate an external peer-agent review for a specific code section, use the command: @external-peer-review analyze --code-section <section>.

FAQPage Schema
What is external peer-agent code review and when should I use it?

External peer-agent code review is a controlled process for in-depth code analysis and perspective comparison. You should use it when you explicitly need a bounded, opt-in environment to compare code sections with an external agent.

How do I start a controlled peer review for a specific code section?

Initiate external peer-agent review by triggering the command `@external-peer-review analyze --code-section <section>`. This builds a concise prompt with relevant context to start the controlled harness for the specified code.

Do I need a specific peer-agent environment to run an external code comparison?

Yes, external code comparison requires peer-agent availability and a controlled harness. The environment must support bounded timeouts and turn limits to execute the structured review process successfully.

How are timeouts and authentication failures handled during peer-agent code review?

Timeouts, authentication failures, and invalid outputs are handled gracefully by the controlled harness. The session manages these structured outcomes and validates peer output directly before reporting any findings.

What is the difference between standard code review and controlled external peer-agent review?

Controlled external peer-agent review focuses on explicit, opt-in perspective comparison rather than standard single-agent analysis. It uses bounded timeouts and turn limits to ensure a structured, validated outcome for in-depth code comparison.
