Pass those skill names verbatim to the dispatched judges. ## Role Workflow Build is a router. It runs a fixed sequence: `(judge-implement -> judge-review){1,n}` It dispatches judge passes to subagents, reads status and finding dispositions, and routes the next pass. It never edits, reviews, verifies, or changes code itself. The router's only write target is the work log. Any code change belongs to a dispatched judge. Use this when the user asks to build, implement, fix, or change code and wants a review loop. This skill does not create a plan. The user request can be ad-hoc or linked to a prior plan. ## Sub-Agent Selection Use this section when this skill dispatches sub-agent judges. - Choose the first available entry for the judge role. - If the harness cannot set provider, model line, and reasoning separately, choose the closest available model and record what actually ran. - Do not dispatch extra judges just to use every entry. ### Implementation Judge | Priority | Provider | Model line | Reasoning | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | OpenAI | `sol` latest | `high` | | 2 | Anthropic | `opus` latest | `high` | | 3 | OpenAI | `terra` latest | `medium` | | 4 | Cursor | `composer` | `high` | ### Review Judge | Priority | Provider | Model line | Reasoning | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | OpenAI | `astra` latest | `high` | | 2 | Anthropic | `fable` latest | `high` | | 3 | OpenAI | `sol` latest | `high` | | 4 | Anthropic | `opus` latest | `high` | | 5 | Cursor | `composer` | `high` | ## Workflow 1.

HANDLE_DEVELOPER_FEEDBACK ### CREATE_LOG - Use the `ts-log` skill to create the shared work log. - Record the user request as `Source request:`. Link a plan or design artifact when one exists, or copy the request inline. - Record the workflow baseline: base ref (current `git HEAD`) and starting dirty files (`git status`). - In this workflow, the router owns log creation and routing state. Each judge pass owns its own log entry, artifact links, findings, worker dispatch count, types, providers, model lines, reasoning levels, and handoff. - The router must record the exact selected provider, model line, and reasoning level for each dispatched judge in the work log. - When composing a judge prompt, replace ``, ``, and `` with the actual selected values. - Always pass the same log path to every judge pass. - Use the owning skill's artifact directory for each pass: reviews in `docs/reviews/`, work logs in `docs/work-logs/`. - Sub-agents must start with fresh context. Never fork parent history. Use a self-contained prompt: cwd, log path, source request, baseline, relevant artifacts, and output contract. - Always close sub-agents once they return. After each pass returns its status line, kill the spawned sub-agent before routing the next pass; do not let them stick around. ### DISPATCH_IMPLEMENT - Dispatch an implementation judge from the `Implementation Judge` list. - Prompt: ```text You are the implementation judge. Use `skill: ts-implement`. Work log path: . Respect the recorded baseline; do not absorb unrelated pre-existing user changes. Dispatched judge: provider , model line , reasoning . Task input: - On pass 1: implement the linked source request from the log. - If the log contains developer feedback, use it as input for the implementation pass. - On later passes, resolve every blocker with the smallest in-scope change. Treat suggested fixes as advice. - Escalate before expanding a public contract, architecture, deployment surface, or product scope without recorded user authority. - Preserve review-owned direct writing edits recorded in the log unless an open finding explicitly requires changing them. Before returning, you must: - Write or update the work log at ``. - Record the dispatched judge and every worker as provider, model line, and reasoning level in the work log. - Record worker dispatches as ` (: //, ...)`, e.g. `2 (frontend: openai/terra latest/medium, backend: anthropic/sonnet latest/medium)`. Return exactly one status line: STATUS: DONE STATUS: BLOCKED: STATUS: ESCALATE: ``` ### DISPATCH_REVIEW - Dispatch a review judge from the `Review Judge` list. - Prompt: ```text You are the review judge. Use `skill: ts-review`. Work log path: . Dispatched judge: provider , model line , reasoning . Review the workflow-owned diff against the source request, workflow baseline, and latest implementation handoff in the log. The source request, named plan or design, and recorded user decisions define the review contract. Principles do not expand it. The first formal review is `initial`; later reviews are `follow-up`. For a new inspection, run all review types from `skill: ts-review`. When dispatched to resolve pending review questions, resume adjudication from the existing artifact. Preserve mode, finding IDs, and admission; inspect only missing or changed evidence. Workers do not know the mode or prior rulings. Classify their findings: - `regular`: found initially or introduced by an identified later change - `out-of-scope`: no basis in the review contract or remediation - `carried`: the same open finding remains unresolved - `regression`: the same resolved finding has recurred - `late`: first reported in a follow-up without a later change that caused it `carried` and `regression` require the prior ID and the same contract and impact. A broader defect gets its own class. New follow-up findings default to `late`; use `regular` only when evidence names the later change that caused it. Record `**Admission:**` and `**Scope Basis:**` with the requirement, decision, finding ID, or remediation change. Technical-writing review may make direct writing edits allowed by `ts-review`. Treat those edits as review-owned workflow changes, not unrelated user changes. In a follow-up review, limit technical-writing direct edits to writing changed by the latest implementation pass or required by an open finding. Rule on every finding before assigning work. Keep rejected, resolved, and duplicate findings in the review artifact without remediation tasks. For deferred rulings, record the finding IDs and exact questions in the log and return `STATUS: ESCALATE: review context needed` for the router to relay. Apply these dispositions only to upheld findings, using final severity: - Critical and high `regular`, `carried`, and `regression`: `fix now`. - Critical and high `late`: record it and return `STATUS: ESCALATE`. - Low or `out-of-scope`: executable `follow-up`. - Work outside the review contract: `STATUS: ESCALATE`. This is a formal workflow review, not an informal review. You must write a separate review artifact, even when there are no findings. Keep upheld and deferred findings in `## Open Findings`, with ruling, reasoning, final severity, admission, scope basis, disposition, and next action. Remove closed entries from that section; retain every finding in the review artifact. Review status semantics: - `STATUS: DONE`: review completed with no blocking findings or deferred rulings. - `STATUS: BLOCKED`: review completed with blocking findings for the next implementation pass. - `STATUS: ESCALATE`: a human decision or exception is needed. Before returning, you must: - Write the review artifact using the `ts-review` artifact rules. - Write or update the work log at ``. - Use these artifact destinations: - Review artifact: `docs/reviews/YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM__.md`. - Workflow log: ``. - Record the review artifact link in `## Artifacts`. - Keep the work log as coordination state with links, finding dispositions, pass status, worker metadata, and handoff. - If direct edits were made, record changed paths and purpose in the review artifact and work log handoff. - Record the dispatched judge and every worker as provider, model line, and reasoning level in the work log. - Record worker dispatches as ` (: //, ...)`, e.g. `2 (automatic-testing: anthropic/fable latest/high, robustness: openai/astra latest/high)`. Return exactly one status line: STATUS: DONE STATUS: BLOCKED: STATUS: ESCALATE: ``` ### ROUTE_NEXT_PASS - Read `## Open Findings` and `## Current State` from the log before deciding. - Count each completed review round once in `## Current State`. A review paused for context and its resumed adjudication belong to the same round. - If subagent dispatch fails (tool error, no return), stop with `STATUS: BLOCKED: subagents unavailable`. - If a dispatched judge returns no status line or more than one, stop with `STATUS: BLOCKED: invalid handoff`. - If implementation returns `BLOCKED` or `ESCALATE`, stop and report. - If review returns `ESCALATE`, relay its recorded questions or decision to the user. Leave the next handoff in `## Current State`; stop until answered. - If review returns `BLOCKED`, route from `## Open Findings`. - Treat any `fix now` finding as blocking. Use the review judge's disposition; do not reclassify findings in the router. - If review has no blocking findings or deferred rulings, stop with `STATUS: DONE`. - If review has blocking findings and the round limit is not reached, dispatch implementation again with the same log path. - If developer feedback arrives after any router report, handle it through `HANDLE_DEVELOPER_FEEDBACK`. - Default round limit is 5 unless the user sets another. One round is one implementation pass followed by one review pass. - If the round limit is reached with open blocking findings, stop with `STATUS: BLOCKED: review loop limit reached`. ### HANDLE_DEVELOPER_FEEDBACK - Record user feedback verbatim in `## Timeline` and its next handoff in `## Current State`, including feedback after `STATUS: DONE`. - Route answers to pending review questions back to a fresh review judge with the same log and review artifact. Resume adjudication in the same round; the judge records reusable context and updates the rulings. - Route code change requests to implementation as a new round, then review. Pass the same log path and any accompanying context answers. - Before dispatch, update only the work log. Never edit code. ## Stop Conditions - `STATUS: DONE`: latest review pass completed with no blocking findings or deferred rulings in `## Open Findings`. - `STATUS: BLOCKED: `: required input, dependency, or verification is unavailable. Includes `subagents unavailable`, `invalid handoff`, and `review loop limit reached`. - `STATUS: ESCALATE: `: a human decision is needed.
