Invoke the skill with your intent, such as a feature description, story id, or issue link. It clarifies the intent, investigates the codebase, writes a spec, implements the change, runs multi-layer review on the diff, and commits the verified result.

The oneshot route handles small changes with no intent gaps, no irreversibles, and a small footprint, implementing directly without a checkpoint. The dispatch route writes a full spec, halts for human approval, then implements and reviews through separate steps.

Three reviewer subagents run against the staged unified diff: a blind hunter, an edge-case hunter, and a verification-gap reviewer. Every finding is verified against the code, assigned a verdict, and routed to patch, spec loopback, intent-gap escalation, or deferral.

Yes. When subagents are unavailable, it implements directly from the spec and writes standalone reviewer prompts for the user to run in separate sessions, then halts until findings are pasted back.

Skip it for obvious low-risk mechanical maintenance such as ignore-file tweaks, typo-only or formatting-only edits, and configuration hygiene. It is also not meant for user-directed interactive edits or version-control operations that only record existing work.
