SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill orchestrates a structured, adversarial review between an architectural planner and security expert to surface plan-defect questions before gate 3 approval, reducing risk from holes in security, scope, autonomy policies, contracts, and untestable success criteria.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Runs a fixed-cap architect↔security dialogue that surfaces plan-defect questions and records rationales for any dismissals, with a sentinel termination to finish cleanly when security is satisfied.
  • Ensures traceability and auditability by generating handoffs, a final status, and a post-sentinel artifact set for governance and review.
  • Supports escalation paths to gate 3 with documented outcomes and artifact generation, while preserving a complete audit trail for compliance and post-mortem analysis.

Quick Start

Trigger the loop after guild:plan writes the plan and let architect and security conduct rounds until the sentinel NO MORE QUESTIONS is emitted.

FAQPage Schema
What is an adversarial plan-review loop for software architecture?

An adversarial plan-review loop orchestrates a structured dialogue between an architect and security expert to surface plan-defect questions. It identifies security holes, scope creep, and policy gaps before user approval, generating audit-ready artifacts for traceability.

How do I review a software plan for security and contract drift before approval?

To review a plan for contract drift, trigger an adversarial review loop after plan creation. The architect and security roles conduct rounds of dialogue until a sentinel termination emits NO MORE QUESTIONS, ensuring all defect signals are resolved.

When do I need an automated gate approval audit trail?

You need an automated gate approval audit trail when escalating to gate 3 planning. It preserves a complete audit trail for compliance and post-mortem analysis by generating structured handoffs, a final status, and post-sentinel artifacts.

Can I dismiss plan-defect questions during a security review?

Yes, you can dismiss plan-defect questions during the review loop. The process requires recording rationales for any dismissals to maintain traceability and ensure governance standards are met before gate 3 approval.

Does the plan-review loop work without dependencies?

Yes, the plan-review loop runs without external dependencies. It orchestrates the fixed-cap dialogue internally, making it suitable for environments where minimizing external tool reliance is required for security auditing.

What are the limitations of a fixed-cap adversarial review loop?

The limitation of a fixed-cap adversarial review loop is that dialogue rounds are capped. If the cap is reached before the NO MORE QUESTIONS sentinel is emitted, unresolved security holes or policy gaps may require manual escalation.
