SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Governance workflows often require a second opinion on product-consumer changes that is genuinely independent from the authoring provider, with verifiable evidence rather than self-attested claims. This Skill resolves a distinct certified peer provider, enforces read-only isolated review, and produces a closed evidence record or a REVIEW-BLOCKED outcome. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Independent peer resolution: Selects a distinct certified reviewer via the highest-certified-independent-review-v1 policy, rejecting same-provider execution. - Evidence-bound review records: Emits a closed record with provider identities, target certification, content digests, before/after worktree fingerprints, and mutation verdicts. - Fail-closed outcomes: Returns REVIEW-BLOCKED when transport, isolation, evidence, or coverage requirements are unmet, never a silent pass. - Use Case: After authoring a design-system change as the codex provider, request an independent review to obtain a frozen, digest-verified second opinion from a different certified provider before any release decision. ## Quick Start Use $independent-review to obtain an evidence-bound read-only second opinion on my product-consumer changes from a distinct certified provider.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get an independent second opinion on design-system changes?

Invoke the independent-review skill as the author provider; it resolves a distinct certified peer through the highest-certified-independent-review-v1 policy, freezes and digests the product scope, and returns a closed evidence record with findings only.

What is a cross-provider independent review in governance workflows?

It is a read-only review where the reviewer provider must differ from the author provider, run in a separate isolated context, and produce digest-verified evidence. Same-provider execution is invalid and yields REVIEW-BLOCKED.

Can the independent reviewer modify files or release changes?

No. The review is strictly read-only with an immutable snapshot or enforced tool deny, verified by before/after worktree fingerprints. The reviewer never acquires DS-author, release, or mutation authority.

Why does an independent review return REVIEW-BLOCKED?

REVIEW-BLOCKED occurs when transport is unavailable, the reviewer matches the author provider, identity or evidence is missing, coverage is incomplete, isolation is absent, or worktree drift is detected. It is never converted into a pass.

What evidence does an independent review record contain?

The record includes outcome and evidence class, provider and model identities, exact target certification, repository and diff digests, before/after worktree fingerprints, scope coverage, findings, rejected claims, and an explicit role-boundary confirmation.
