SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Getting objective, structured feedback on a plan, code change, architecture decision, or UI output is hard to do consistently. This Skill runs a four-pass advisory review and returns a labeled report with a clear verdict, so weaknesses are surfaced before execution rather than after. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four-Pass Analysis: Produces Summary, Strengths, Risks (ranked High/Medium/Low), and Fixes (must-fix vs nice-to-fix) sections. - Verdict Gating: Assigns Approved, Conditional, or Not Approved verdicts, with a rule that nothing with Medium-or-higher risk can be marked Approved. - Advisory by Design: Never blocks the user's work unless a kernel-prime violation is detected, and suggests next commands such as /plan-execute or /insight-adversarial. - Use Case: After drafting an implementation plan, run /critique to get a severity-ranked risk list and concrete fixes before handing the plan to /plan-execute. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to critique the last plan or code output by saying "review this" or running /critique.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a structured review of a plan or code before executing it?

Run /critique or ask the agent to "review this" or "what's wrong with this". The skill classifies the subject as Code, Plan, Architecture, or UI, then returns a report with Summary, Strengths, severity-ranked Risks, and concrete Fixes plus a verdict.

What is the difference between /critique and /insight-adversarial?

/critique is a single-pass advisory review producing a Summary, Strengths, Risks, and Fixes report. /insight-adversarial stress-tests the work from multiple adversarial personas and POVs, which is better when you want deeper challenge rather than a focused review.

Can the critique skill block my work from proceeding?

No, the review is advisory only and never blocks or halts work. The single exception is a detected kernel-prime violation. Even a Not Approved verdict only recommends redesign via /plan-create.

When does the critique verdict come back as Not Approved?

The verdict is Not Approved when any risk is rated High, meaning a redesign or /plan-create pass is required. Conditional means risks exist but are fixable, and Approved requires all risks to be Low or cosmetic.

What kinds of output can this review skill critique?

It critiques exactly one of four subject types per run: Code, Plan, Architecture, or UI. If the subject is ambiguous, the skill asks for clarification before running its analysis passes.
