modbender review-orchestrator (審査)
Unified skill for selecting review types, spawning multi-perspective and cognitive review agents, and managing quality gates. Consolidates 5 granular skills into a single review system.
Trigger: レビュー要求 (review requested)
Source skills: twin-review, cognitive-review, review-selector, staged-quality-gate, prompt-normalizer
Installation
openclaw install leegitw/review-orchestrator
Dependencies:
leegitw/failure-memory(for context)leegitw/context-verifier(for file verification)
# Install with dependencies
openclaw install leegitw/context-verifier
openclaw install leegitw/failure-memory
openclaw install leegitw/review-orchestrator
Standalone usage: Review orchestration works independently for multi-perspective reviews. Integration with failure-memory enables automatic observation recording from review findings.
Data handling: This skill operates within your agent's trust boundary. When triggered,
it uses your agent's configured model for multi-perspective review orchestration. No external APIs
or third-party services are called. Review results are written to docs/reviews/ in your workspace.
What This Solves
One perspective has blind spots. This skill coordinates multiple review perspectives to catch what single-pass review misses:
- Twin review — technical and creative perspectives for balance
- Cognitive modes — analyzer ("what conflicts"), architect ("how to restructure"), implementer ("how to implement")
The insight: N=2 catches more than N=1. Different perspectives see different things. Coordinate them systematically.
Note: "Cognitive modes" are review perspectives with different analytical focus, not external API calls. Mode names (analyzer, architect, implementer) describe the review approach, not specific AI models or services.

Cognitive Modes
Cognitive modes provide different analytical perspectives. Modes are configurable; defaults shown below.
| Mode | Perspective | Focus | CJK |
|---|---|---|---|
| analyzer | "Here's what conflicts" | Tensions, trade-offs, contradictions | 審碼 |
| architect | "Here's how to restructure" | Architecture, patterns, organization | 審構 |
| implementer | "Here's how to implement" | Concrete steps, complexity, path forward | 審実 |
Note: Mode names are perspective-based, not model-specific. The underlying model used for each mode is configurable (see Configuration section below).
Configuration
Configuration is loaded from (in order of precedence):
.openclaw/review-orchestrator.yaml(OpenClaw standard).claude/review-orchestrator.yaml(Claude Code compatibility)- Defaults (built-in)
Cognitive Mode Interface
Each cognitive mode implements this interface:
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | Yes | Mode identifier (e.g., "analyzer", "architect") |
| perspective | string | Yes | Human-readable perspective description |
| prompt_prefix | string | Yes | Prompt prefix for this mode's analysis |
| model_hint | string | No | Optional model preference (not enforced) |
Cognitive Mode Configuration
# .openclaw/review-orchestrator.yaml
cognitive_modes:
- id: analyzer
perspective: "Here's what conflicts"
prompt_prefix: "Analyze tensions, trade-offs, and conflicts in..."
model_hint: "prefer analytical model"
- id: architect
perspective: "Here's how to restructure"
prompt_prefix: "Suggest architectural improvements for..."
model_hint: "prefer architectural model"
- id: implementer
perspective: "Here's how to implement"
prompt_prefix: "Provide implementation guidance for..."
model_hint: "prefer practical model"
Quality Gate Configuration
# .openclaw/review-orchestrator.yaml
quality_gates:
test_command: "npm test" # Node.js (default)
# test_command: "go test ./..." # Go
# test_command: "pytest" # Python
# test_command: "cargo test" # Rust
coverage_threshold: 5 # Max allowed coverage drop (%)
require_docs: true # Require documentation updates
Quality Gate Checks
| Check | Condition | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Tests pass | {test_command} exit 0 |
Critical |
| Coverage maintained | delta ≤ {coverage_threshold}% |
Important |
| No critical findings | review.critical == 0 | Critical |
| Docs updated | changed files have docs (if require_docs) |
Minor |
Checks use configured values from
quality_gatessection. Defaults: test_command=npm test, coverage_threshold=5, require_docs=true.
Output
/ro select output
[REVIEW SELECTION]
Context: "Refactoring authentication handler"
Risk: Medium (auto-detected: changes auth code)
Recommended: /ro twin
Rationale: Medium-risk implementation benefits from both technical and creative perspectives.
Alternative: /ro cognitive (for deeper architectural analysis)
/ro twin output
[MULTI-PERSPECTIVE REVIEW INITIATED]

Verdict: Approved with conditions
/ro cognitive output
[COGNITIVE REVIEW INITIATED]
Target: docs/architecture/auth-flow.md
Modes: analyzer, architect, implementer
--- Analyzer Perspective (Conflicts) ---
- Tension between security and usability in token refresh
- Trade-off: session duration vs re-auth frequency
--- Architect Perspective (Restructure) ---
- Suggested: Extract token service from handler
- Benefit: Cleaner separation of concerns
--- Implementer Perspective (Implement) ---
- Implementation path: 3 stages
- Estimated complexity: Medium
Verdict: Approved
/ro gate output (pass)
[QUALITY GATE: Stage 2]
Status: ✓ PASSED
Checks:
- ✓ Tests pass (exit 0)
- ✓ Coverage maintained (delta: -1.2%)
- ✓ No critical findings
- ✓ Documentation updated
Proceed to Stage 3.
/ro gate output (block)
[QUALITY GATE: Stage 2]
Status: ✗ BLOCKED
Checks:
- ✓ Tests pass
- ✗ Coverage dropped (delta: -8.3%, threshold: 5%)
- ✓ No critical findings
- ✗ Documentation not updated
Action required before proceeding:
1. Add tests to restore coverage
2. Update docs/handlers/README.md
Example: API Design Review
/ro cognitive api/openapi.yaml --modes analyzer,architect
[COGNITIVE REVIEW INITIATED]
Target: api/openapi.yaml
Modes: analyzer, architect
--- Analyzer Perspective (Conflicts) ---
- Tension: Versioning strategy (URL vs header) inconsistent across endpoints

Security Considerations
What this skill accesses:
- Configuration files in
.openclaw/review-orchestrator.yamland.claude/review-orchestrator.yaml - Target files specified by user for review (read-only)
- Its own output directory
docs/reviews/
What this skill does NOT access:
- Files outside declared workspace paths
- System environment variables
- Network resources or external APIs
- Other tools' configuration
What this skill does NOT do:
- Invoke AI models directly (instruction-only skill)
- Call external services (Codex, Gemini, or any third-party API)
- Send data to external services
- Modify files outside its workspace (only writes to
docs/reviews/) - Execute arbitrary code
Cognitive modes clarification: Mode names like "analyzer", "architect", and "implementer" describe review perspectives (analytical approaches), NOT external AI services. The skill provides prompts and structure; your agent executes the review using its configured model.
Configuration files:
The config files (.openclaw/review-orchestrator.yaml and .claude/review-orchestrator.yaml)
contain only local behavior settings (cognitive mode definitions, quality gate thresholds).
They do NOT contain API keys, tokens, or external service endpoints by design.
Dependency clarification:
References to failure-memory and context-verifier are skill-level dependencies installed
via openclaw install. These are separate instruction-only skills with their own declared
permissions — this skill does not grant them additional access or inherit their permissions.
Provenance note:
This skill is developed by Live Neon (https://github.com/live-neon/skills) and published
to ClawHub under the leegitw account. Both refer to the same maintainer.
