SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the risk of self-evaluation bias in technical design by providing an independent, fresh-context adversarial review of design documents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Independent Audit: Dispatches a read-only subagent to evaluate design documents without shared conversation history.
  • Methodology Enforcement: Validates designs against engineering standards, ADR-quality criteria, and edge-case coverage.
  • Use Case: Use this skill to verify that a new system architecture document is robust, well-justified, and covers all necessary edge cases before implementation begins.

Quick Start

Ask the team to review the design document located in the current plans directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit technical design documents for structural integrity and edge-case coverage?▼

Audit technical design documents by dispatching a read-only subagent to independently verify structural integrity, decision justification, and edge-case coverage against engineering standards.

What is adversarial review in software architecture design?▼

Adversarial review uses an independent, fresh-context subagent to evaluate design documents, mitigating self-evaluation bias by validating architecture decisions and edge-case coverage.

How do I review system architecture documents before implementation begins?▼

Review system architecture documents by operating on design artifacts within project worktrees, enforcing ADR-quality criteria and conventional comment formatting to provide actionable feedback.

Does the design review process work on artifacts inside project worktrees?▼

Yes, the design review process operates directly on design artifacts located within project worktrees to verify structural integrity and decision justification without shared conversation history.

Can I validate ADR-quality criteria and edge-case coverage in my technical designs?▼

Yes, you can validate ADR-quality criteria and edge-case coverage by enforcing engineering standards during the independent subagent audit of your technical designs.

When should I use an independent subagent for design document review?▼

Use an independent subagent for design document review when you need to eliminate self-evaluation bias and require a fresh-context, read-only audit of your architecture decisions.
