What problem does it solve?
It prevents incomplete or poorly designed changes by forcing every commit through an architectural review, a full build/test gate, and a scoped critique loop.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Greybeard approach review per commit: Aligns on intent, trade-offs, and expected file impact before any code is written.
- Test-aware implementation discipline: Uses test-first guidance for bug fixes and test-backed verification for new features, matching repo conventions.
- Hard build gate before committing: Runs the full pipeline (format, lint, build, test or equivalent) and blocks commits on failures caused by your changes.
- Critique loop with amend/rebase workflow: Iteratively fixes findings using
git commit --amend or git rebase -i edit stops until Critique is clean.
Quick Start
Load the implement skill and follow its per-commit workflow to produce each commit with Greybeard review, passing build gate, and a verified Critique loop.
