review-design

A design review gate is a quality checkpoint between design and implementation stages that ensures documentation completeness and feasibility. It coordinates parallel reviews of architecture documents to produce actionable feedback and risk signals before code is written.

To generate a structured findings report for code quality risk management, invoke a design review with a feature name. The review assesses documentation quality and consistency, returning provenance-backed findings and risk signals to align teams on design intent.

Yes, you can run isolated design reviews for separate feature workflows. The review process supports both standard and isolated modes, allowing you to assess technical soundness and document quality independently while maintaining structured findings and author context.

Yes, you need existing SKILL.md and process files to assess architecture documentation effectively. The review assembles documentation and context directly from these feature files to evaluate consistency, completeness, and technical feasibility before generating the final report.

Automated design document reviews are limited to assessing the quality and consistency of existing implementation and task documents. They cannot fix architectural flaws directly or generate missing design specifications, but instead highlight risk signals and actionable feedback for the team.
