I run this after "apply" and before "archiving" to validate that everything is implemented as intended. The goal is to make local LLM models more effective when using Openspec, providing an additional layer of reasoning and critique on the applied changes. A thinking model may capture and detect everything this skill intents to intercept. But this gate ensures another check for quality. |

In `@skills/openspec-review/SKILL.md`:
- Around line 22-25: Update the subagent invocation instructions in the skill to
replace the “exactly two things” requirement with explicit role-specific
payloads that include the change context plus any required reviewer findings,
individual issue, or simplifier scope. Preserve the role brief and ensure each
role receives all inputs needed for its later task.
- Around line 64-70: The consensus loop around the “Consensus check” and its
retry step must explicitly allow proven pre-existing test or build failures
without blocking consensus, while still requiring newly introduced failures to
fail consensus. Add a bounded retry policy with a fixed maximum or no-progress
exit that produces the review report instead of invoking agents indefinitely,
and align the guidance at the existing pre-existing-failure rule with this
behavior.
- Around line 42-43: Update the command examples for openspec status and
openspec instructions apply so the change name is passed as argument data rather
than interpolated into shell source. Use an argument-safe tool invocation or a
safely populated shell variable, preserving support for arbitrary change names
without allowing command substitution.
- Line 98: Update the task-completion guidance in tasks.md verification to
require implementation and test evidence specifically for code tasks, while
defining suitable completion evidence for documentation, configuration,
migration, and test-only tasks. Preserve the must-fix treatment for tasks
lacking their applicable evidence.
- Around line 1-9: Update the generator or template for the openspec-review
skill so its emitted frontmatter includes disable-model-invocation: true, then
regenerate the committed skill and update the associated parity expectations to
match. Preserve the existing metadata and write-capable workflow behavior.
- Around line 1-3: Resolve the generated-skill parity issue for openspec-review:
either add its source template and register it in getSkillTemplates(), then
regenerate the committed skill, or remove the unregistered committed file.
Ensure the generated skills match the registry and the parity test passes.
- Line 99: Update the read-only reviewer instructions around the build and test
execution step to isolate commands in a disposable worktree or container, or
enforce a verified policy that prevents repository mutations. Preserve reporting
of command failures with relevant output while ensuring build commands that
delete and recreate artifacts cannot modify the original checkout.

…ates The review workflow existed only as hand-placed bytes in the generator-owned skills/ tree, so the next generate:skills run would have deleted it and the skills.sh parity guard was red. Make the template pipeline its single source of truth: a new review.ts module (skill + /opsx:review command pair) registered across the skill/command registries, the workflow catalog (opt-in, not core), the init and profile-sync maps, the command-reference map, and the config UI. `pnpm build && pnpm generate:skills` now reproduces skills/openspec-review/SKILL.md byte-for-byte (empty diff) and the parity guards are green, with golden hashes pinning both new factories. In lockstep: workflow-set test guardrails updated; docs enumerations and counts synced (twelve -> thirteen); the docs/openspec-review/SKILL.md reference copy dropped once the template landed; and a coordination task requires unify-template-generation-pipeline's WorkflowManifest to carry `review`.

- Around line 22-24: Update the role-spawning rule in

role-specific reviewer findings as an additional input alongside the role brief
and step-2 context block; apply the same allowance to the generated command at
lines 162-164, preserving the existing inputs for all other roles.
- Line 128: Update the scope rule in review.ts so implementers may modify
directly related test files when regression coverage is required, while
retaining the existing restriction against unrelated files. Apply this allowance
both at review.ts lines 128-128 and 268-268, including the generated command at
the latter site.
- Line 62: Update the review workflow’s re-verification exit condition so critic
warnings for nonblocking findings do not prevent consensus: treat PASS as “no
blocking findings,” while still reporting warnings. Apply this consistently to
the workflow instruction at src/core/templates/workflows/review.ts lines 62-62
and the generated command at lines 202-202, using the existing review/critic
symbols and preserving iteration for blocking findings.

In `@openspec/changes/add-review-workflow/design.md`:
- Around line 44-45: Update the generated skill and command enumerations
described in D6 to match the complete current pipeline output, including the
review entries, instead of preserving the stale nine-item lists. Use the
existing workflow catalog as the source of truth if available, and keep the
review-specific additions and surrounding requirement text unchanged.
- Line 39: Enforce the read-only capability boundary for the reviewer and critic
roles in the openspec-review workflow: prevent them from mutating files or
invoking mutating OpenSpec commands such as change creation, rather than relying
only on prose restrictions. Implement executor-level role gating or add a
regression fixture that verifies both roles cannot perform those operations,
while preserving write access for the IMPLEMENTER and SIMPLIFIER roles.
In `@openspec/changes/add-review-workflow/specs/cli-init/spec.md`:
- Line 10: Update the cli-init specification’s artifact-count requirements so
the skill and command counts are conditional on the effective workflow set:
require the 10-item lists only when review is selected, and define the expected
artifacts for other workflow selections. Apply this consistently to the
requirements corresponding to the affected skill and command sections, while
preserving the conditional openspec-review behavior.
In `@openspec/changes/add-review-workflow/specs/opsx-review-skill/spec.md`:
- Around line 91-93: Update the “Pre-existing failures do not block” scenario to
require reproducible before-and-after evidence, such as a baseline run, proving
the failure predates the change. If that evidence is unavailable or
inconclusive, keep the failure blocking consensus; only separately report
failures that are verified as pre-existing.
- Around line 86-89: Add a bounded termination condition to the “Consensus not
reached” scenario: limit retries using an explicit cycle count, time budget,
cancellation path, or equivalent bound. When the bound is reached before
consensus, stop spawning further roles or rerunning commands and produce a NOT
REACHED report that includes the outstanding failing evidence.
- Around line 38-39: Update the reviewer workflow requirements so each task
checkbox is validated with evidence appropriate to its task type, such as
document diffs, coordination notes, or CI results, rather than always requiring
implementation and tests. Require tests only when the task produces a testable
code outcome, while preserving the requirement to report build and test failures
with relevant output.
In `@openspec/changes/add-review-workflow/tasks.md`:
- Line 41: Complete task 6.4 in the review workflow by verifying that the
Windows CI leg passes for the touched test files and marking it checked, or
explicitly document its deferral with the required warning and confirmation
before archiving.

…findings The spawning rule said "exactly two things" (role brief + change context block), but the critic needs the reviewer's findings to do its job: an executor had to either drop the findings or break its own rule. The rule now names role-specific evidence as a permitted third input, in both the skill and the command template. The generated skills/ copy and the parity golden hashes follow from the template, keeping the generator as the single source of truth.
…atisfy The unresolved review findings on Fission-AI#1794 were one class of defect repeated: the loop named conditions an executor could not meet without contradicting another rule. A critic WARNING kept the loop open forever, because step 6 demanded PASS while step 5 only ever fixes must-fix issues; the implementer was confined to the issue's own files, which is where its red-to-green step cannot write the regression test it asks for; and the reviewer, declared read-only, was told to run the build, which build.js answers by deleting and recreating dist/. The template now records the executor's own build and test results in the change context block and has the read-only roles consume them; defines critic PASS as "no blocking findings", with WARNING and SUGGESTION findings collected for the report instead of gating the loop; bounds the loop to three cycles with a no-progress stop reported as NOT REACHED; widens the implementer to the test file covering its issue; matches task-completion evidence to the task's type rather than assuming every task is a code task; and requires a baseline reproduction before a failure may be excused as pre-existing. Both canonical specs carry the same rules, and cli-init derives its skill and command lists from the effective workflow selection instead of asserting ten of each unconditionally, which contradicted review being opt-in. Task 6.4 of the archived change is recorded as an explicit deferral stating what it still owes, rather than left as a bare open box. skills/openspec-review/SKILL.md and the three parity hashes follow from the template, keeping the generator the single source of truth.
…et it is The two generated-set enumerations carried a hardcoded count over a list that stopped at ten, so they could not be read as the set they claim to enumerate: the pipeline ships thirteen skill/command pairs, and seven of them arrive only when the effective workflow selection asks for them. Each list now carries all thirteen pairs, and the core/opt-in split is stated once as a rule instead of being implied by a number that was wrong for whichever profile a reader had in mind.
Iterative multi-agent loop that reviews, critiques, and implements changes until the OpenSpec is fully satisfied and all tests pass. Use when the user wants a full review–fix cycle on one or more OpenSpec changes before archiving.
Runs an iterative review–critique–implement loop on an OpenSpec change: spawn subagents from the self-contained role briefs in the skill, apply fixes where issues are found, and repeat until the consensus check passes.
