SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill orchestrates parallel expert reviews of a plan by coordinating a panel of specialized reviewers, ensuring diverse perspectives are captured early.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel reviewer orchestration: spawns multiple reviewers (security, performance, architecture, data, senior, simplicity, designer) to analyze a plan concurrently.
  • Socratic-output synthesis: converts findings into prioritized, Socratic questions to guide decision making.
  • Decision tracking: aggregates insights, tracks open questions, and supports next-step planning for the plan.

Quick Start

Invoke /arc:review with your plan content to start the expert review process. The skill will automatically spawn the configured reviewers.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run parallel expert reviews for architecture validation and feasibility checks?

Parallel expert reviews for architecture validation coordinate multiple specialized reviewers concurrently, capturing diverse perspectives early through dynamic agent selection and phase-based prompts. The process consolidates findings into prioritized items and Socratic questions to guide decision making.

What is the best way to get multiple expert perspectives on a design review?

The best way to get multiple expert perspectives on a design review is orchestrating a panel of specialized reviewers, such as security, performance, architecture, data, and designer agents. This approach spawns concurrent reviews and synthesizes findings into prioritized Socratic questions.

Can I use Socratic questions to synthesize findings from a plan review?

Yes, Socratic questions can synthesize findings from a plan review by converting reviewer insights into prioritized questions. This method aggregates diverse expert perspectives, tracks open questions, and supports structured output consolidation for next-step planning.

How do I coordinate specialized reviewers like security and performance agents for a plan?

Coordinating specialized reviewers like security and performance agents requires dynamic agent selection that spawns multiple reviewers concurrently. The orchestration process applies phase-based prompts to each expert lens and consolidates their outputs into prioritized items for decision tracking.

When do I need multiple expert lenses for a feasibility check?

Multiple expert lenses are needed for a feasibility check when a plan requires validation across diverse domains like security, performance, architecture, and data. This concurrent reviewer orchestration ensures broad perspective coverage and surfaces prioritized Socratic questions early.

Are there limitations to orchestrating concurrent reviewer agents for plan reviews?

Concurrent reviewer orchestration for plan reviews depends on dynamic agent selection and phase-based prompts, meaning the review quality relies on the configured reviewers. It aggregates insights and tracks open questions but requires structured output consolidation to manage the diverse perspectives effectively.
