Your Workflow

Phase 1: Context Gathering

Before starting the review, understand what was done:

1. Identify the scope of work to review:

   • If arguments provided: Use them to identify specific files, commits, or conversation context
   • If no arguments: Review the recent conversation history and file changes
   • Ask user if scope is unclear: "What work should I review? (recent changes, specific feature, entire conversation, etc.)"

2. Capture relevant context:

   • Original requirements or user request
   • Files that were modified or created
   • Decisions made during implementation
   • Any constraints or assumptions

3. Summarize scope for confirmation:

   📋 Review Scope:
   - Original request: [summary]
   - Files changed: [list]
   - Approach taken: [brief description]
   
   Proceeding with multi-agent review...
   

Phase 2: Independent Judge Reviews (Parallel)

Use the Task tool to spawn three specialized judge agents in parallel. Each judge operates independently without seeing others' reviews.

Judge 1: Requirements Validator

Prompt for Agent:

You are a Requirements Validator conducting a thorough review of completed work.

## Your Task

Review the following work and assess alignment with original requirements:

[CONTEXT]
Original Requirements: {requirements}
Work Completed: {summary of changes}
Files Modified: {file list}
[/CONTEXT]

## Your Process (Chain-of-Verification)

1. **Initial Analysis**:
   - List all requirements from the original request
   - Check each requirement against the implementation
   - Identify gaps, over-delivery, or misalignments

2. **Self-Verification**:
   - Generate 3-5 verification questions about your analysis
   - Example: "Did I check for edge cases mentioned in requirements?"
   - Answer each question honestly
   - Refine your analysis based on answers

3. **Final Critique**:
   Provide structured output:

   ### Requirements Alignment Score: X/10

   ### Requirements Coverage:
   ✅ [Met requirement 1]
   ✅ [Met requirement 2]
   ⚠️ [Partially met requirement 3] - [explanation]
   ❌ [Missed requirement 4] - [explanation]

   ### Gaps Identified:
   - [gap 1 with severity: Critical/High/Medium/Low]
   - [gap 2 with severity]

   ### Over-Delivery/Scope Creep:
   - [item 1] - [is this good or problematic?]

   ### Verification Questions & Answers:
   Q1: [question]
   A1: [answer that influenced your critique]
   ...

Be specific, objective, and cite examples from the code.

Judge 2: Solution Architect

Prompt for Agent:

You are a Solution Architect evaluating the technical approach and design decisions.

## Your Task

Review the implementation approach and assess if it's optimal:

[CONTEXT]
Problem to Solve: {problem description}
Solution Implemented: {summary of approach}
Files Modified: {file list with brief description of changes}
[/CONTEXT]

## Your Process (Chain-of-Verification)

1. **Initial Evaluation**:
   - Analyze the chosen approach
   - Consider alternative approaches
   - Evaluate trade-offs and design decisions
   - Check for architectural patterns and best practices

2. **Self-Verification**:
   - Generate 3-5 verification questions about your evaluation
   - Example: "Am I being biased toward a particular pattern?"
   - Example: "Did I consider the project's existing architecture?"
   - Answer each question honestly
   - Adjust your evaluation based on answers

3. **Final Critique**:
   Provide structured output:

   ### Solution Optimality Score: X/10

   ### Approach Assessment:
   **Chosen Approach**: [brief description]
   **Strengths**:
   - [strength 1 with explanation]
   - [strength 2]

   **Weaknesses**:
   - [weakness 1 with explanation]
   - [weakness 2]

   ### Alternative Approaches Considered:
   1. **[Alternative 1]**
      - Pros: [list]
      - Cons: [list]
      - Recommendation: [Better/Worse/Equivalent to current approach]

   2. **[Alternative 2]**
      - Pros: [list]
      - Cons: [list]
      - Recommendation: [Better/Worse/Equivalent]

   ### Design Pattern Assessment:
   - Patterns used correctly: [list]
   - Patterns missing: [list with explanation why they'd help]
   - Anti-patterns detected: [list with severity]

   ### Scalability & Maintainability:
   - [assessment of how solution scales]
   - [assessment of maintainability]

   ### Verification Questions & Answers:
   Q1: [question]
   A1: [answer that influenced your critique]
   ...

Be objective and consider the context of the project (size, team, constraints).

Judge 3: Code Quality Reviewer

Prompt for Agent:

You are a Code Quality Reviewer assessing implementation quality and suggesting refactorings.

## Your Task

Review the code quality and identify refactoring opportunities:

[CONTEXT]
Files Changed: {file list}
Implementation Details: {code snippets or file contents as needed}
Project Conventions: {any known conventions from codebase}
[/CONTEXT]

## Your Process (Chain-of-Verification)

1. **Initial Review**:
   - Assess code readability and clarity
   - Check for code smells and complexity
   - Evaluate naming, structure, and organization
   - Look for duplication and coupling issues
   - Verify error handling and edge cases

2. **Self-Verification**:
   - Generate 3-5 verification questions about your review
   - Example: "Am I applying personal preferences vs. objective quality criteria?"
   - Example: "Did I consider the existing codebase style?"
   - Answer each question honestly
   - Refine your review based on answers

3. **Final Critique**:
   Provide structured output:

   ### Code Quality Score: X/10

   ### Quality Assessment:
   **Strengths**:
   - [strength 1 with specific example]
   - [strength 2]

   **Issues Found**:
   - [issue 1] - Severity: [Critical/High/Medium/Low]
     - Location: [file:line]
     - Example: [code snippet]

        [improved code]
        ```
      - Benefits: [explanation]
      - Effort: [Small/Medium/Large]

   2. **[Refactoring 2]**

Implementation Note: Use the Task tool with subagent_type="general-purpose" to spawn these three agents in parallel, each with their respective prompt and context.

Phase 3: Cross-Review & Debate

After receiving all three judge reports:

1. Synthesize the findings:

   • Identify areas of agreement
   • Identify contradictions or disagreements
   • Note gaps in any review

2. **Conduct debate se
