What problem does it solve?
The skill helps reviewers determine whether an implementer's work actually fulfills the approved requirements and design, stays inside the assigned task boundary, and includes verifiable evidence, preventing silent scope drift and hidden coupling.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Adversarial, task-local review: reads the spec and diffs, executes mechanical checks (tests, greps) and flags concrete violations rather than relying on assertions.
- Boundary and design audit: compares changed files to task boundary constraints and referenced design/requirements sections to detect spillover and hidden dependencies.
- Validation evidence enforcement: verifies RED-phase outputs, scans for placeholder markers and secrets, runs static/runtime-sensitive checks, and reports required remediation.
- Use case: run after an implementer marks a task READY_FOR_REVIEW to decide APPROVED or REJECTED with mechanistic supporting evidence.
Quick Start
Review task T123 using the task text, requirements.md sections, design.md sections, the implementer's status report, the task Boundary:, and validation commands, then run git diff and tests and return APPROVED or REJECTED with mechanical results and remediation.
