lightweight-review-facilitator
Purpose
Run a compact lightweight review for code, design, tests, or docs when full formal inspection overhead is not justified.
Trigger this skill when
- You need a focused code-review or inspection analysis or artifact rather than generic commentary.
- Review discipline, issue handling, or closure quality matters to the outcome.
- You need a reusable output another reviewer, developer, or agent can extend safely.
Expected inputs
- artifact under review
- review focus areas
- available reviewers or stakeholders
- time constraints
Deliverables
- lightweight review summary
- issue list
- assumptions and follow-ups
- recommended next skill
Operating procedure
- Clarify the artifact, review objective, and what counts as a meaningful issue.
- Separate explicit evidence from assumptions, missing context, or inference.
- Apply the relevant review structure, checklist, or inspection framing consistently.
- Produce compact findings that support triage, rework, and decision-making.
- Recommend the next most useful review, remediation, readiness, or process step.
Quality gates
- Do not treat preference as defect unless the criterion is explicit.
- Make severity, uncertainty, and evidence quality explicit.
- Prefer actionable findings tied to consequence over vague style commentary.
- Keep the artifact compact, structured, and reusable.
Handoff targets
- code-review-checklist-runner
- review-issue-categorizer
- rework-plan-writer
Output style
- Be explicit about evidence quality and uncertainty.
- Prefer structured findings over narrative filler.
- Tie recommendations to risk, delivery consequence, or rework cost.
- Use severity, priority, or confidence labels when useful.
Failure modes to avoid
- Do not collapse all issues into one undifferentiated list.
- Do not hide missing evidence, unclear criteria, or reviewer uncertainty.
- Do not recommend vague actions with no owner or closure path.
- Do not ignore process defects when the artifact issues are symptoms of review failure.
