y3owk1n Review
Manual review, outside a ticket. Inside a ticket /implement applies the same rules inline — do not dispatch this from /ship.
The rubric lives in your context (## Review). This skill resolves what to review and handles the case where there is no spec.
1. Resolve the change set
| Argument | Change set |
|---|---|
| none | git diff main... — current branch against main. If the branch is main, git diff on the working tree. |
| a PR number or URL | gh pr diff <n> |
| a path or glob | git diff -- <path> |
--staged |
git diff --cached |
git diff <resolved> --stat
cat prd/glossary.md 2>/dev/null || echo "NO_GLOSSARY"
Use glossary vocabulary in findings. Say "the Builder", not "the function in lib/default.nix".
2. Resolve the spec axis
gh pr view <n> --json body 2>/dev/null
The PR body links a ticket (Closes #n); read that ticket and its parent spec.
No PR, no ticket, no spec — run Standards only and say so in one line. Do not go hunting for a plausible spec, and do not infer one from the diff. A spec reconstructed from the code it is meant to judge always passes.
3. Standards axis
Conventions, naming, structure, imports, types, error handling, testing patterns, performance, security. Cite the repo rule you are applying — a convention visible elsewhere in the codebase, CLAUDE.md, or prd/decisions.md. A finding you cannot ground in a repo rule is a preference; drop it.
Tests get the same rule the code does. Flag any new test that asserts the toolchain works (install, build, compile, lint, file-exists, config-parses) or mirrors implementation. Flag a test with no behaviour in prd/behaviours.md and no public boundary behind it.
4. Spec axis
Wrong behaviour, unmet acceptance criteria, API mismatch, unintended side effects, scope creep. Scope creep counts: work the spec did not ask for is a finding even when the code is good.
Check the diff against the non-goals in prd/product.md too, if it exists. A change that quietly starts doing something the project decided not to do reads as a feature in review and as a commitment forever after.
5. Report
Two lists, each ranked by cost of being wrong. State the bug, show the fix, stop. Skip nits.
Standards
1. <file:line> — <what is wrong> → <the fix>
Spec (or: skipped — no spec found)
1. <criterion> — <what is missing>
Fix what needs fixing when the user asks. Reviewing and fixing are separate calls.
Completion
Done when: both axes are run (or Spec is explicitly skipped with the reason), and every finding is either fixed or deferred with a reason. Checkable: re-run the diff and confirm no unfixed finding remains.
