What problem does it solve? Agent-drafted GitHub issues can silently expand scope, embed unauthorized decisions, or hide dependency cycles before they become implementation authority. This Skill runs an independent read-only design review that challenges the premise, alternatives, and acceptance criteria of a draft issue before it is created or acted upon. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Scope Authority Audit: Reconstructs agent-added scope independently of the drafter's claims and flags unsupported acceptance criteria, optional hardening, and speculative extension points. - Dependency and Rollout Simulation: Traces delivery transitions, actors, permissions, and artifacts to detect dependency cycles and reliance on unavailable ambient work. - Structured Verdict Output: Returns exactly one verdict (ready, revise, or split_required) with a fixed output contract covering evidence, ownership, production-use justification, and repository scope gates. - Use Case: Before an agent creates a nontrivial technical-debt or privacy issue, delegate the draft to a fresh read-only subagent that validates the premise against project policy and returns a verdict with required corrections. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to use the issue-design-review skill to review this draft issue before it becomes implementation authority.
