SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill creates a deterministic, frontmatter-driven reviewer prompt that lets Claude act as a read-only reviewer, evaluating deliverables against their spec without exposing internal implementation conversations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates the four-bucket reviewer prompts for implementation review (compliance), craft/pr-review, architecture (arch-review, on-demand), and reconciliation framing.
  • Supports optional richer user-installed skills and a read-only reviewer workflow, with normalized output into a single verdict envelope.
  • Includes a helper to select the subagent type (reviewer vs. general-purpose) and accommodates multiple modes: implementation, reconciliation, pr-review, arch-review, design-review, frame-critique, code-health, etc.

Quick Start

Run python3 review.py implementation <spec.md> <slice-fragment> <deliverable-path>... to generate the prompt and feed it to Claude's Task tool.

Frequently Asked Questions about independent-review

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize code review prompts to evaluate deliverables against a spec without exposing implementation details?▼

Standardized code review prompts evaluate deliverables against specs by acting as a read-only reviewer, limiting access to spec and deliverable inputs while producing a normalized verdict envelope. This prevents exposing internal implementation conversations during the review process.

What is a read-only reviewer workflow for architecture review?▼

A read-only reviewer workflow for architecture review evaluates deliverables against target specs by limiting access to slice metadata and deliverable paths, ensuring the reviewer sees only the output while producing a normalized verdict envelope for downstream tools.

How do I generate multiple review passes for implementation, pr-review, and reconciliation?▼

Generating multiple review passes involves constructing standardized prompts for implementation, pr-review, arch-review, and reconciliation by running a script with the target spec, slice fragment, and deliverable paths to produce a single normalized verdict envelope.

Can I use custom installed skills to override baseline reviewer prompts?▼

Custom installed skills can override baseline reviewer prompts if they are installed on disk, allowing richer skills to accommodate multiple modes like implementation, reconciliation, arch-review, design-review, and code-health.

What's the best way to parse a normalized verdict envelope after a code review?▼

Parsing a normalized verdict envelope after a code review involves feeding the generated reviewer prompt to Claude's Task tool, which outputs a standardized envelope that downstream tools can parse to determine compliance and craft quality.

Why does my reviewer prompt need slice metadata and a target spec?▼

Reviewer prompts need slice metadata and a target spec to deterministically evaluate work against specifications, ensuring the reviewer operates in a read-only context and produces a normalized verdict envelope without seeing implementation details.
