What problem does it solve? Before a change ships, someone who did not write it must verify it is safe to release. This Skill performs that pre-release gate: it sweeps the change against ten failure-mode categories, cites every finding with precise locations and quoted evidence, and separates pre-existing defects from regressions the change introduced. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Ten-category failure-mode sweep: Covers verification gaps, cross-reference ripples, pre-existing vs. new regressions, missing edge cases, ordering/concurrency hazards, resource cleanup gaps, backward-compatibility breaks, safety regressions, efficiency regressions, and implicit-contract assumptions. - Evidence-grounded findings: Every finding carries a file:line locator (or section locator for non-code deliverables) plus quoted material, with severity calibrated to release-safety impact. - Plan conformance check: Reads plan.md to catch work the plan never asked for and tasks the plan declared but the change skipped. - Use Case: After an execution stage finishes a code change, dispatch this Skill to produce a review.md round record and a JSON findings block the maintainer can approve or reject without re-investigating. ## Quick Start Dispatch the sdlc-review skill to review the completed change in this initiative against plan.md before it is merged.
