review

name	review
description	Multi-agent code review of GitHub Pull Requests (Python source, documentation (Markdown/RST), and CI/CD config PRs) covering architecture, tests, performance, docs, lint, security, and API design. TRIGGER when: user provides a GitHub PR number (e.g. 42, #42) and asks to review/audit/check it, or provides a saved review-report path with --reply to draft a contributor-facing comment; phrases: 'review PR 123', 'audit this pull request', 'look at PR #42', 'draft a reply for this review report'. SKIP: local file or current git diff review (use /develop:review (requires 'develop' plugin)); non-Python source PRs without Python files (TypeScript-only, Go-only, Rust-only); standalone issue/discussion thread analysis (use /oss:analyse).

Spawn specialized sub-agents in parallel. Consolidate findings into structured feedback with severity levels.

NOT for local file review or current git diff — use /develop:review (requires develop plugin). NOT for non-Python source PRs (TypeScript, Go, Rust, etc.) unless they include Python files — docs-only and CI/CD-only PRs in scope. NOT for standalone GitHub issue analysis or thread summarization — use oss:analyse. Draft PRs (GitHub isDraft=true) are work-in-progress; pass explicit PR number anyway to review draft. Note: oss:review performs inline linked-issue analysis (root-cause alignment check in Step 1) as part of PR review — within scope, no conflict.

• $ARGUMENTS: PR number or report path.
  • Number given (e.g. 42 or #42): review PR diff
  • --reply: spawn oss:shepherd to draft contributor-facing PR comment. Path ending in .md → spawn oss:shepherd from that report, skip new review.
  • Scope: Python source only. Non-Python file → state out of scope, suggest tool, no findings.
  • Local files: use /develop:review (requires develop plugin) for local files or current git diff.
  • --codemap: strict mode — stop, report if codemap not installed (on by default when installed; use --no-codemap to opt out; requires codemap plugin installed)
  • --semble: enable semble semantic search companion (off by default; requires semble MCP server configured)
• --plan handoff not supported — skill doesn't accept plan-mode output from /develop:plan (requires develop plugin).

CHALLENGE_ENABLED=true # set to false via --no-challenge CODEMAP_ENABLED=auto # on by default if codemap installed + index found; --no-codemap = off; --codemap = strict (stop if not installed) SEMBLE_ENABLED=false # set to true via --semble

Background agent health monitoring (CLAUDE.md §6) — applies to Step 3 parallel agent spawns MONITOR_INTERVAL=300 # 5 minutes between polls HARD_CUTOFF=900 # 15 minutes of no file activity → declare timed out EXTENSION=300 # one +5 min extension if output file explains delay

Key boundary: end of Step 2 — parallel review-agent fan-out outputs collected, before Step 5 consolidation. Second boundary: end of Step 5 — consolidated report written, before Step 8 --reply. Preserve at boundary 1: RUN_DIR, REPORT_DIR, PR# (CLEAN_ARGS), per-agent finding file paths. Preserve at boundary 2: final report path, PR#, reply-mode flag.

        exit 1
    else

echo "$REVIEW_SKILL_DIR" > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/review-skill-dir-${CSID}"  # persist for later blocks (Check 41)

Agents: foundry:sw-engineer, foundry:qa-specialist, foundry:perf-optimizer, foundry:doc-scribe, foundry:linting-expert, foundry:solution-architect, foundry:challenger, oss:cicd-steward.

REVIEW_SKILL_DIR (resolved above) — substitute into every Agent spawn prompt and every cat "$REVIEW_SKILL_DIR/..." call below.

Task hygiene: Call TaskList first. Each found task: completed if work done · deleted if orphaned · in_progress if genuinely continuing. TaskCreate each major phase; mark in_progress/completed throughout.

Create these tasks before starting Step 1 (in order, all at once):

• "Step 1: Scope and context detection" — TaskUpdate(in_progress) at Step 1 start; TaskUpdate(completed) when all scope vars set (SCOPE, REPLY_MODE, mode flags)
• "Step 2: Agent launch" — TaskUpdate(in_progress) before spawning agents; TaskUpdate(completed) when all Agent() calls issued
• "Step 3: Post-agent checks" — TaskUpdate(in_progress) before post-agent checks run; TaskUpdate(completed) when all agent output files collected (or timed out); per task-lifecycle.md: TaskUpdate BEFORE long output blocks
• "Step 4: Cross-validate critical findings" — TaskUpdate(in_progress) before spawning verifier agents; TaskUpdate(completed) when all verdicts received; TaskUpdate(deleted) when no critical/blocking findings exist after Step 3 (always created upfront)
• "Step 5: Consolidate findings" — TaskUpdate(in_progress) before spawning consolidator; TaskUpdate(completed) before printing terminal block (per task-lifecycle.md: before long output)
• "Step 8: Contributor reply draft" — create only when REPLY_MODE=true, before spawning oss:shepherd; TaskUpdate(in_progress) immediately after creation; TaskUpdate(completed) when shepherd output written

Step 0: Parse flags and content-type pre-classification

Parse $ARGUMENTS flags first (applied directly — no subprocess) — this sets CLEAN_ARGS, the mode flags, and DIRECT_PATH_MODE before any step below references them (the pre-classification and Step 1 both read them):

Flag	Variable	Present	Absent
--reply	REPLY_MODE	true	false
--no-challenge	CHALLENGE_ENABLED	false	true
--no-codemap	CODEMAP_FORCE_OFF	true	false
--codemap	CODEMAP_STRICT	true	false
--semble	SEMBLE_ENABLED	true	false
--keep "<items>"	KEEP_ITEMS	value string	""

CLEAN_ARGS: $ARGUMENTS with matched flags removed (including --keep "<items>" and its quoted value), leading whitespace stripped, leading # stripped.

# Extract --keep quoted value before unknown-flag scan in Step 1 (compaction-contract.md §keep: semantics)
KEEP_ITEMS=""
if [[ "$ARGUMENTS" =~ --keep[[:space:]]\"([^\"]+)\" ]]; then
    KEEP_ITEMS="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
fi
# Clear stale contract from any prior incomplete run (compaction-contract.md §Lifecycle)
rm -f .temp/state/skill-contract.md  # timeout: 5000

Then set direct-report fast-path mode (a review-report .md path passed instead of a PR number):

DIRECT_PATH_MODE=false
if [[ "$CLEAN_ARGS" == *.md ]]; then
    # reject plan files — shepherd must not draft replies from plan content
    if [[ "$CLEAN_ARGS" == .plans/* ]] || [[ "$CLEAN_ARGS" == *todo_*.md ]]; then
        echo "Error: plan files cannot be used as review report input. Pass a review report from .reports/review/<timestamp>/review-report.md or a PR number."
        exit 1
    fi
    # required markers: ## Summary, verdict:, or APPROVED|NEEDS_WORK|REQUEST_CHANGES
    if [ -f "$CLEAN_ARGS" ] && grep -qE '(^## Summary|^verdict:|APPROVED|NEEDS_WORK|REQUEST_CHANGES)' "$CLEAN_ARGS" 2>/dev/null; then  # timeout: 5000
        DIRECT_PATH_MODE=true
        REVIEW_FILE="$CLEAN_ARGS"
    else
        echo "⚠ $CLEAN_ARGS is a .md file but lacks review-report markers (## Summary | verdict: | APPROVED|NEEDS_WORK|REQUEST_CHANGES) — refusing direct-path fast-path; continuing with normal review path which expects a PR number."
    fi
fi

Content-type pre-classification (PR mode only) — skip when DIRECT_PATH_MODE=true.

Classify PR from changed file patterns. Default PR_TYPE=CODE; override only when unambiguous.

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
PR_TYPE="CODE"
DOCS_TYPING_MODE=false; TESTS_CI_MODE=false
if [ "$DIRECT_PATH_MODE" = "false" ] && [[ "$CLEAN_ARGS" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]; then
    _CHANGED=$(gh pr diff $CLEAN_ARGS --name-only 2>/dev/null)  # timeout: 6000
    _PY_LOGIC_COUNT=$(echo "$_CHANGED" | grep -E '\.py$' | grep -cvE '(test_|_test\.py|conftest\.py|\.pyi$)' 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
    _ALL_COUNT=$(echo "$_CHANGED" | grep -c . 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
    _DOC_COUNT=$(echo "$_CHANGED" | grep -cE '\.(md|rst|txt|ipynb)$' 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
    _TEST_CI_COUNT=$(echo "$_CHANGED" | grep -cE '(test_|_test\.py|conftest\.py|\.ya?ml$|\.github/|tox\.ini|Makefile)' 2>/dev/null || echo 0)

    if [ "${_PY_LOGIC_COUNT:-0}" -eq 0 ] && [ "${_ALL_COUNT:-0}" -gt 0 ]; then
        if [ "$_DOC_COUNT" -ge "$_ALL_COUNT" ]; then
            PR_TYPE="DOCS_TYPING"; DOCS_TYPING_MODE=true
        elif [ "$(( _TEST_CI_COUNT + _DOC_COUNT ))" -ge "$_ALL_COUNT" ]; then
            PR_TYPE="TESTS_CI"; TESTS_CI_MODE=true
        fi
    fi
    echo "→ PR_TYPE=$PR_TYPE (_py_logic=$_PY_LOGIC_COUNT, _all=$_ALL_COUNT)"
fi
# Persist PR_TYPE + mode flags — fresh shell loses vars (Check 41); challenge-skip block + Steps 2/5 reload
{
    echo "PR_TYPE=$PR_TYPE"
    echo "DOCS_TYPING_MODE=$DOCS_TYPING_MODE"
    echo "TESTS_CI_MODE=$TESTS_CI_MODE"
} > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-mode-flags-${CLEAN_ARGS}-${CSID}"

Challenge skip — challenger adds no value for non-logic PRs:

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
# Reload PR_TYPE — fresh shell (Check 41)
[ -f "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-mode-flags-${CLEAN_ARGS}-${CSID}" ] && . "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-mode-flags-${CLEAN_ARGS}-${CSID}"
if [ "$PR_TYPE" = "DOCS_TYPING" ] || [ "$PR_TYPE" = "TESTS_CI" ]; then
    CHALLENGE_ENABLED=false
fi

Persist PR tag for Step 2:

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
echo "$CLEAN_ARGS" > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-pr-tag-${CSID}"
echo "$KEEP_ITEMS" > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-keep-items-${CSID}"  # timeout: 5000

Agent lineup — PR_TYPE != CODE overrides scope-based rules in Step 1:

PR_TYPE	Agents	Challenger	Consolidator
DOCS_TYPING	foundry:linting-expert only	skip	foundry:linting-expert
TESTS_CI	foundry:qa-specialist + foundry:linting-expert	skip	foundry:qa-specialist
CODE	full scope-based lineup	per --no-challenge	foundry:sw-engineer

When DOCS_TYPING_MODE=true or TESTS_CI_MODE=true: skip Step 1 file-scope detection and SCOPE classification; proceed directly to Step 2 agent launch.

Step 1: Identify scope and context (run in parallel for PR mode)

Flags, CLEAN_ARGS, and DIRECT_PATH_MODE were parsed in Step 0 — reuse those values here.

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"

[ "$CODEMAP_STRICT" = "true" ] && _DETECT_FLAGS="$_DETECT_FLAGS --strict"
python "$_DETECT_CODEMAP" --prefix review $_DETECT_FLAGS 2>&1  # timeout: 5000
[ $? -ne 0 ] && { echo "! BLOCKED — codemap strict mode requested but codemap not installed or index missing"; exit 1; }

[ "$CODEMAP_FORCE_OFF" = "false" ] && cat "$_OSS_SHARED/codemap-gates.md"  # timeout: 5000

Codemap gates — when CODEMAP_FORCE_OFF=false, run (from codemap-gates.md, loaded above): Gate A if CODEMAP_ENABLED=false (missing index → offer to build); Gate B if CODEMAP_ENABLED=true and CODEMAP_CURRENCY=stale. On a build choice, after codemap:scan-codebase set CODEMAP_ENABLED=true. Skip both gates when CODEMAP_FORCE_OFF=true (--no-codemap).

If SEMBLE_ENABLED=true: proceed — semble MCP tool availability verified at first use. If mcp__semble__search is unavailable when called, it fails with a clear error; do not preemptively exit here.

Unsupported flag check — after all supported flags extracted, scan $ARGUMENTS for remaining --<token> tokens. Found: print ! Unknown flag(s): \--`. Supported: `--reply`, `--no-challenge`, `--codemap`, `--no-codemap`, `--semble`, `--keep`.then invokeAskUserQuestion` — (a) Abort (stop, re-invoke with correct flags) · (b) Continue ignoring (skip unknown flags, proceed). On Abort: stop.

CI STATUS (PR mode only): parse gh pr checks output → extract failing required check names into CI_FAILING_CHECKS. Any failing: set CI_RED=true, print ⚠ CI is red: [list failing check names] — review proceeds; status noted in report header. Continue to Steps 2–8 regardless. Expand $CI_RED and $CI_FAILING_CHECKS to literal values in the consolidator spawn prompt (Step 5).

File scope detection

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
# Reload REVIEW_SKILL_DIR (Check 41: fresh shell)

cat "$REVIEW_SKILL_DIR/modes/scope-detection.md"  # timeout: 5000

Follow above and execute its bash blocks inside the DIRECT_PATH_MODE = "false" guard. Sets PY_FILES, DOC_FILES, CICD_FILES, CICD_ONLY_MODE, DOCS_ONLY_MODE, DOCS_CICD_MODE; persists flags to ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-mode-flags-${CLEAN_ARGS}-${CSID} for reload in Step 2.

Scope pre-check

DOCS_TYPING mode (DOCS_TYPING_MODE=true): annotation-only .py changes (no logic). Spawn: foundry:linting-expert only; challenger disabled by Step 0; skip all other agents. Proceed directly to agent launch.

TESTS_CI mode (TESTS_CI_MODE=true): test files and CI config only. Spawn: foundry:qa-specialist + foundry:linting-expert; challenger disabled by Step 0; skip all other agents. Proceed directly to agent launch.

CI/CD-only mode (CICD_ONLY_MODE=true): no .py/.md/.rst. Spawn: oss:cicd-steward + Agent 1 + Agent 7 (if CHALLENGE_ENABLED=true) + Codex; skip Agents 2–6. Proceed directly to agent launch.

Docs-only mode (DOCS_ONLY_MODE=true): no .py. foundry:doc-scribe (Agent 4) leads — Agent 1 explicitly skipped (NOT for docs clause); linked-issue spawns also skip Agent 1. Spawn: Agent 4 + Agent 7 (if CHALLENGE_ENABLED=true) + Codex; skip Agents 1, 2, 3, 5, 6. Proceed directly to agent launch.

Docs + CI/CD mode (DOCS_CICD_MODE=true): no Python. Spawn: oss:cicd-steward (Agent 8) + foundry:doc-scribe (Agent 4) + Agent 7 (if CHALLENGE_ENABLED=true); skip Agents 1, 2, 3, 5, 6. Proceed directly to agent launch.

Before spawning agents (Python mode only — all three mode flags false), classify diff:

• Count files changed, lines added/removed, new classes/modules
• Classify: FIX (<3 files, <50 lines), REFACTOR (internal restructure, no new public API), FEATURE (new public API or module), CHORE (deps, config, tooling — no logic changes), or MIXED
• Short-diff multi-concern refactors: FIX heuristic classifies by diff size, not intent. Override FIX → REFACTOR when PR labels include perf, performance, optimization, refactor, architecture, cleanup OR commit message keywords refactor:, perf:, rewrite OR diff touches different modules. Detect via gh pr view --json labels,title. Small-diff perf refactors are exactly the case FIX would silently mishandle.
• Complexity smell: 8+ files changed OR PY_LOC_DELTA >400 → note in report header

Assign SCOPE shell variable so the EXPECTED array (Step 2 health monitor) can branch on it without comparing to an undefined value:

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
# for classification heuristic
PY_FILE_COUNT=$(echo "$PY_FILES" | grep -c . 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
# PY_LOC_DELTA = total churn, NOT net delta — pure renames produce >0 even with net 0; label/keyword override handles this
PY_LOC_DELTA=$(gh pr diff $CLEAN_ARGS 2>/dev/null | grep -E '^[+-][^+-]' | grep -vE '^[+-]{3}' | wc -l | tr -d ' ')  # timeout: 6000

# new public API surface: added lines in src/**/__init__.py
NEW_API_LINES=$(gh pr diff $CLEAN_ARGS -- ':(glob)src/**/__init__.py' 2>/dev/null | grep -c '^+[^+]' || echo 0)  # timeout: 6000

# pure config/deps changes (no .py logic changes)
NON_CONFIG_PY=$(echo "$PY_FILES" | grep -vE '(pyproject\.toml|setup\.cfg|setup\.py|requirements.*\.txt|conftest\.py)' || true)

SCOPE=$(python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/cc_oss}/bin/classify_pr_scope.py" --py-files "$PY_FILE_COUNT" --loc-delta "$PY_LOC_DELTA" --new-api-lines "$NEW_API_LINES" --labels "$PR_LABELS" --title "$PR_TITLE" 2>/dev/null)  # timeout: 10000
echo "→ SCOPE=$SCOPE (py_files=$PY_FILE_COUNT, py_loc=$PY_LOC_DELTA, new_api=$NEW_API_LINES)"

# persist — Step 2 EXPECTED_FILE is in a separate bash block
echo "$CHANGED_FILES" | grep -qE '(^|/)(requirements.*\.txt|pyproject\.toml|package.*\.json|Pipfile|poetry\.lock|setup\.cfg|.*\.lock)$' && CHORE_DEPS=true || CHORE_DEPS=false
_REVIEW_SCOPE_FILE="${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-scope-${CLEAN_ARGS}-${CSID}"
{
    echo "SCOPE=$SCOPE"
    echo "CHORE_DEPS=$CHORE_DEPS"
} > "$_REVIEW_SCOPE_FILE"

Skip optional agents by classification:

• FIX scope → skip Agent 3 (perf-optimizer), Agent 6 (solution-architect)
• REFACTOR scope → keep all agents; perf-optimizer runs to verify new structure isn't slower
• FEATURE/MIXED → spawn all agents
• CHORE scope → spawn Agents 1, 4, 5, 7 (challenger, if CHALLENGE_ENABLED=true), Codex (if available); skip Agents 2, 3, 6
  • CHORE + dependency files exception: diff includes requirements*.txt, pyproject.toml, package*.json, Pipfile, poetry.lock, setup.cfg, *.lock → keep Agent 2 (qa-specialist) for OWASP/CVE checks. Detect via CHORE_DEPS flag above. CHORE + non-deps → skip qa-specialist.

Structural context + review pre-flight (codemap — only if CODEMAP_ENABLED=true)

Skip entire section if CODEMAP_ENABLED=false — sets codemap_available=false for downstream agent prompts; agents fall back to file reads.

loads: modes/codemap-context.md

CODEMAP_ENABLED=true:

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
# Reload REVIEW_SKILL_DIR (Check 41: fresh shell)
IFS= read -r REVIEW_SKILL_DIR < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/review-skill-dir-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || REVIEW_SKILL_DIR=""
cat "$REVIEW_SKILL_DIR/modes/codemap-context.md"  # timeout: 5000

Follow above and execute its contents — stages codemap_available and $CODEMAP_CONTEXT_STAGE to TMPDIR (Step 2 copies into $RUN_DIR/codemap-context.md) and defines the Step-2 spawn-prompt substitution rules + semble companion. CODEMAP_ENABLED=false: skip; agents fall back to file reads.

Linked issue analysis (PR mode only)

Parse PR body (gh pr view $CLEAN_ARGS) for issue refs (Closes #N, Fixes #N, Resolves #N, refs #N — case-insensitive). Extract to ISSUE_NUMS. Cap 3.

ISSUE_NUMS non-empty AND DOCS_CICD_MODE != true: spawn one foundry:doc-scribe per issue in Step 2 alongside Codex — all launch simultaneously. Each issue agent: fetch gh issue view <N> --json title,body,comments,state,labels + gh issue view <N> --comments; produce /oss:analyse-style output (Summary, Root Cause Hypotheses top 3, Code Evidence); write full analysis to $RUN_DIR/issue-<N>.md; return only {"status":"done","issue":N,"root_cause":"<one-line>","file":"$RUN_DIR/issue-<N>.md","confidence":0.N}.

ISSUE_NUMS empty → skip issue checks downstream.

Direct report fast-path

DIRECT_PATH_MODE=true:

• REPLY_MODE=false → use AskUserQuestion: "A report path was passed without --reply. Did you mean /oss:review <path.md> --reply?" Options: (a) "Yes — continue with --reply mode" → set REPLY_MODE=true; then re-check: [ ! -f "$REVIEW_FILE" ] && echo "Error: review file not found at $REVIEW_FILE" && exit 1; proceed; (b) "No — review a PR instead" → print usage hint (/oss:review <N> | path/to/dir) and stop.
• REPLY_MODE=true and [ ! -f "$REVIEW_FILE" ] → print Error: report not found: $REVIEW_FILE and stop.
• REPLY_MODE=true and file exists → print [direct] using $REVIEW_FILE → skip to Step 8. Skip Steps 2–7.

Step 2: Codex + parallel agent launch

Set up run directory (shared by all agents) and resolve skill paths:

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
TIMESTAMP=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%SZ)
RUN_DIR=".temp/review/$TIMESTAMP"
mkdir -p "$RUN_DIR" # timeout: 5000
# persisted so agents resolve via cat; hand-typing caused leading-dot drops → stray temp/review/ dirs
echo "$RUN_DIR" > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-run-dir-${CSID}"
REPORT_DIR=".reports/review/$TIMESTAMP"
mkdir -p "$REPORT_DIR" # timeout: 5000
echo "$REPORT_DIR" > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-report-dir-${CSID}"  # persist for contract-write

File-based handoff:

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
# Reload FOUNDRY_SHARED (Check 41: fresh shell)
IFS= read -r FOUNDRY_SHARED < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/review-foundry-shared-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || FOUNDRY_SHARED=""
[ -f "$FOUNDRY_SHARED/file-handoff-protocol.md" ] && cat "$FOUNDRY_SHARED/file-handoff-protocol.md"  # timeout: 5000

Follow above. File absent → warn and continue without it.

IMPORTANT: Replace $REPORT_DIR, $REVIEW_SKILL_DIR, $BRANCH, and $DATE with actual literal computed values in every Agent spawn prompt. Do NOT pass as shell variables — agents receive text, not shell context. Exception — $RUN_DIR: never hand-substitute it; agents self-resolve via export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"; cat "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-run-dir-${CSID}" per the run-dir preamble in agent-prompts.md (eliminates leading-dot transcription slips).

Check Codex availability:

claude plugin list 2>/dev/null | grep -q 'codex@openai-codex' && CODEX_AVAILABLE=1 && echo "codex (openai-codex) available" || { CODEX_AVAILABLE=0; echo "⚠ codex (openai-codex) not found — skipping co-review"; } # timeout: 15000

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
# Reload REVIEW_SKILL_DIR (Check 41: fresh shell)
IFS= read -r REVIEW_SKILL_DIR < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/review-skill-dir-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || REVIEW_SKILL_DIR=""
cat "$REVIEW_SKILL_DIR/templates/agent-prompts.md"  # timeout: 5000

Template (loaded above). Substitute <REVIEW_SKILL_DIR> → $REVIEW_SKILL_DIR before using content in spawn prompts. Leave $RUN_DIR literal in the prompt text — agents resolve it themselves via the run-dir preamble (cat "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-run-dir-${CSID}"); the orchestrator must NOT retype the run-dir path.

Codemap context propagation: rehydrate codemap_available from Step 1 persist file, copy staged context into $RUN_DIR/codemap-context.md, substitute into every dimension-agent spawn prompt per the rules in the Structural-context block above. Block omitted when codemap_available=false.

Health monitoring (CLAUDE.md §6): Create checkpoint BEFORE spawning agents:

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
REVIEW_CHECKPOINT="${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/review-check-$(date +%s)-${CSID}"
touch "$REVIEW_CHECKPOINT"
# poll block (separate bash invocation) reads it back
echo "$REVIEW_CHECKPOINT" > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-checkpoint-${CSID}"

Launch Codex, issue agents, and all review agents in one message batch — zero hold between Codex and review agents. All Agent() calls issue in a SINGLE response turn — substitute $RUN_DIR (literal) and issue numbers before spawning. Agent lineup: codex:codex-rescue (if CODEX_AVAILABLE=1) · per-issue foundry:sw-engineer (skip if DOCS_CICD_MODE=true) · Agents 1–8 per scope/mode rules above.

Poll for expected output files per $MONITOR_INTERVAL / $HARD_CUTOFF until all present or each hits hard cutoff.

Write expected paths to file (Bash arrays don't persist across tool invocations):

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
# restore — each SKILL.md bash block runs in fresh shell
IFS= read -r _PR_TAG < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-pr-tag-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || _PR_TAG="unknown"

Later poll blocks read paths back via while read -r path; do [ -f "$path" ] || PENDING=1; done <"$EXPECTED_FILE" — no in-memory array required.

Every $MONITOR_INTERVAL seconds, in the poll bash block, rehydrate the checkpoint path first: IFS= read -r REVIEW_CHECKPOINT < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-checkpoint-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || REVIEW_CHECKPOINT="" then find $RUN_DIR -newer "$REVIEW_CHECKPOINT" -type f | wc -l — non-zero = agents alive (refresh checkpoint: touch "$REVIEW_CHECKPOINT"); zero since last refresh for $HARD_CUTOFF seconds = stalled. One $EXTENSION if tail -20 output file explains delay; second stall = cutoff. On timeout: read partial results from stalled agent's file; surface with ⏱ in report. Never omit timed-out agents.

After all outputs collected (or timed out):

ls "$RUN_DIR/"*.md 2>/dev/null || echo "⚠ No agent output files found in $RUN_DIR — check that $RUN_DIR was expanded correctly in spawn prompts"

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"

    echo "- run-dir: $_RUN_DIR"
    echo "- preserve: $_PRESERVE"
    echo "- next: consolidate findings → final report (→ draft --reply if reply-mode)"
} > .temp/state/skill-contract.md

Step 3: Post-agent checks (concurrent with Step 2 — after PR_BASE available)

Step 3a/3b may run concurrently with still-executing Step 2 agents — issue in same response turn as final Step 2 polls. Do NOT issue before PR_BASE is bound.

TRUNK=$(git remote show origin 2>/dev/null | grep 'HEAD branch' | awk '{print $NF}') # timeout: 6000

# Shallow-clone guard: git merge-base fails silently on shallow clones.
IS_SHALLOW=$(git rev-parse --is-shallow-repository 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")
if [ "$IS_SHALLOW" = "true" ]; then
    echo "⚠ Shallow clone detected — running: git fetch --unshallow to enable merge-base checks"
    git fetch --unshallow 2>/dev/null || echo "⚠ git fetch --unshallow failed — Step 3 checks may be incomplete"
fi
PR_BASE=$(git merge-base HEAD "origin/${TRUNK:-main}" 2>/dev/null || echo "origin/${TRUNK:-main}")

3a: Ecosystem impact check (for libraries with downstream users)

Scope disclosure: check searches public GitHub code globally. Results may include unrelated projects using same symbol names — treat as signal, not proof. Rate-limited responses (HTTP 429, empty results) may indicate limitation, not absence of usage.

# rate-limit guard: on HTTP 429, retry once after 10s; if still limited, log and continue
CHANGED_EXPORTS=$(gh pr diff $CLEAN_ARGS -- ':(glob)src/**/__init__.py' 2>/dev/null | grep "^[-+]" | grep -v "^[-+][-+]" | grep -oP '\w+' | sort -u) # timeout: 6000
for export in $CHANGED_EXPORTS; do
    echo "=== $export ==="
    gh api "search/code" --field "q=$export language:python" --jq '.items[:5] | .[].repository.full_name' 2>/dev/null # timeout: 30000
done

gh pr diff $CLEAN_ARGS 2>/dev/null | grep -A2 "deprecated" # timeout: 6000

3b: OSS checks

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
OSS_SIGNALS="${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-signals-${CLEAN_ARGS}-${CSID}.json"
LATEST_TAG=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || gh release list --limit 1 --json tagName --jq '.[0].tagName' 2>/dev/null || echo "")  # timeout: 6000
python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/cc_oss}/bin/check_oss_pr_signals.py" --clean-args "$CLEAN_ARGS" --latest-tag "$LATEST_TAG" --output-file "$OSS_SIGNALS"  # timeout: 30000
cat "$OSS_SIGNALS" 2>/dev/null

Step 4: Cross-validate critical/blocking findings

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
# Reload FOUNDRY_SHARED (Check 41: fresh shell)
IFS= read -r FOUNDRY_SHARED < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/review-foundry-shared-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || FOUNDRY_SHARED=""
[ -f "$FOUNDRY_SHARED/cross-validation-protocol.md" ] && cat "$FOUNDRY_SHARED/cross-validation-protocol.md"  # timeout: 5000

Follow above. File absent → warn: "cross-validation protocol not found — verify foundry plugin installed (claude plugin list); skipping Step 4." Then skip Step 4.

Independence requirement: cross-validation must run as separate spawned agent — same type as finding's origin. Do NOT validate in orchestrator context.

Spawn cap: max 3 verifier agents. Critical/blocking findings > 3 → group into batches of ≤2 findings per verifier; note grouped IDs in rationale.

Spawn verifier agent per critical/blocking finding (or per batch when capped). Agent reads relevant finding file from $RUN_DIR and referenced code. Each verifier must write full rationale to $RUN_DIR/verify-<finding-id>.md using the Write tool, then return ONLY: {"finding_id":"<id>","verdict":"CONFIRMED|REFUTED","rationale":"<one sentence>","file":"$RUN_DIR/verify-<finding-id>.md"}. REFUTED → downgrade finding severity or remove before consolidation.

Step 5: Consolidate findings

Before output path, extract:

BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null | tr '/' '-' || echo 'main')  # timeout: 3000
DATE=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%d)  # timeout: 5000

IMPORTANT: expand $RUN_DIR, $REPORT_DIR, $REVIEW_SKILL_DIR, $BRANCH, $DATE, $CI_RED, and $CI_FAILING_CHECKS to literal values before inserting into the spawn prompt. Un-expanded variables create wrong paths. The ## Source Files footnote Glob(... path="<EXPANDED_RUN_DIR>") path must also be expanded to the literal $RUN_DIR value.

Select consolidator agent by PR_TYPE (lighter model for non-logic PRs):

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
_REVIEW_MODE_FILE="${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-mode-flags-${CLEAN_ARGS}-${CSID}"
[ -f "$_REVIEW_MODE_FILE" ] && . "$_REVIEW_MODE_FILE"
case "${PR_TYPE:-CODE}" in
    DOCS_TYPING) CONSOLIDATOR_AGENT="foundry:linting-expert" ;;
    TESTS_CI)    CONSOLIDATOR_AGENT="foundry:qa-specialist" ;;
    *)           CONSOLIDATOR_AGENT="claude" ;;
esac

Spawn $CONSOLIDATOR_AGENT consolidator agent with prompt:

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
# Reload REVIEW_SKILL_DIR (Check 41: fresh shell)
IFS= read -r REVIEW_SKILL_DIR < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/review-skill-dir-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || REVIEW_SKILL_DIR=""
cat "$REVIEW_SKILL_DIR/templates/consolidator-prompt.md"  # timeout: 5000

Template (loaded above). Prepend the run-dir resolution preamble from agent-prompts.md so the consolidator self-resolves $RUN_DIR (cat "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-run-dir-${CSID}"). Substitute <REPORT_DIR>, <REVIEW_SKILL_DIR>, <_OSS_SHARED>, <DATE>, <CHANGED_FILES>, <SCOPE>, <CI_FAILING_CHECKS> with literal expanded values; leave $RUN_DIR literal (agent self-resolves). Spawn: Agent(subagent_type="$CONSOLIDATOR_AGENT", prompt=<substituted consolidator-prompt.md content>)

Main context receives only the one-liner verdict. Consolidator unavailable fallback — Agent tool deferred/not loaded: Print: ⛔ BLOCKED — Agent tool not loaded; consolidator cannot run. Re-invoke /oss:review to retry. If persistent, run /foundry:setup (requires foundry plugin) to verify session config. Do NOT read agent finding files inline — floods main context (~16–32K tokens per run), produces unreliable synthesis.

After parsing confidence: agent < 0.7 → prepend ⚠ LOW CONFIDENCE to findings section, state gap explicitly. Never drop uncertain findings.

Print terminal block: read the --- header from top of $REPORT_DIR/review-report.md (all fields from opening --- up to and including closing --- — Title:, Date:, PR Type:, Scope:, Focus:, Agents:, CI:, Outcome:, Summary:, Confidence:, Next steps:, Path:), append → saved to $REPORT_DIR/review-report.md, print to terminal.

This --- block IS the reply header — print/omit-box handling per quality-gates.md §Report File Format (universal rule). Review-specific rendering caveat: wrap the printed block in a ```text fence so the literal --- delimiters survive — bare, a renderer parses the leading --- as YAML frontmatter and the closing --- under Path: as a setext heading, mangling the header. Print all 12 fields verbatim; use the ·-separated one-line fallback ONLY when the $REPORT_DIR/review-report.md read genuinely fails — then state ⚠ could not read report header — verify $REPORT_DIR before the fallback line rather than silently degrading.

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
# Compaction contract — boundary 2: after consolidation, before --reply (compaction-contract.md §Lifecycle)
IFS= read -r _PR_TAG < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-pr-tag-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || _PR_TAG="unknown"
IFS= read -r _REPORT_DIR < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-report-dir-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || _REPORT_DIR=""
IFS= read -r _RUN_DIR < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oss-review-run-dir-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || _RUN_DIR=""
{
    echo "## Active Skill Contract"
    echo "- skill: oss:review · phase: reply (after consolidation)"
    echo "- run-dir: $_RUN_DIR"
    echo "- preserve: final-report=$_REPORT_DIR/review-report.md, pr=$_PR_TAG"
    echo "- next: draft contributor reply (--reply) or stop at Step 7"
} > .temp/state/skill-contract.md

Step 6: Delegate implementation follow-up (optional)

Identify tasks Codex can implement — meaningful code/doc work grounded in actual implementation.

Delegate: public functions with no docstrings (read impl first, describe so Codex writes real 6-section docstring) · missing test coverage for concrete well-defined behavior · consistent rename across files. Do not delegate: architectural issues, logic errors, security vulns, or any task requiring human judgment.

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
# Reload FOUNDRY_SHARED (Check 41: fresh shell)
IFS= read -r FOUNDRY_SHARED < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/review-foundry-shared-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || FOUNDRY_SHARED=""
[ -f "$FOUNDRY_SHARED/codex-delegation.md" ] && cat "$FOUNDRY_SHARED/codex-delegation.md"  # timeout: 5000

Follow above. File absent → warn: "codex-delegation criteria not found — verify foundry plugin installed (claude plugin list); skipping Step 6 delegation." Then skip Step 6.

Print ### Codex Delegation only when tasks delegated — omit otherwise. Don't rewrite output file.

Step 7: Reply gate — STOP CHECK

Confidence block ownership: REPLY_MODE=true → block in Step 8. REPLY_MODE=false → block in Step 7b.

REPLY_MODE=true: proceed to Step 8 — no Confidence block here. REPLY_MODE=false — do NOT proceed to Step 8. Execute both sub-steps below:

7a — Follow-up gate

! IMPORTANT — invoke AskUserQuestion tool directly. Never write options as plain text. Single call — all options in one:

• question: "What next?"
• (a) label: /oss:resolve $CLEAN_ARGS — description: fix this PR (implement review findings, resolve conflicts, push)
• (b) label: /oss:resolve report — description: resolve from full review report only (no GitHub re-fetch)
• (c) label: /oss:resolve $CLEAN_ARGS report — description: fix PR + resolve from full review report in one pass
• (d) label: walk through findings — description: go through each finding interactively
• (e) label: skip — description: no action

oss:resolve has disable-model-invocation: true — Skill() invocation blocked. After AskUserQuestion returns:

• Resolve variant chosen (a/b/c when available): present chosen label as command user must run manually (e.g. Run: /oss:resolve $CLEAN_ARGS); no Skill() call
• walk through findings / skip: handle inline or stop

7b — Confidence block

End with ## Confidence block per CLAUDE.md output standards.

rm -f .temp/state/skill-contract.md  # clear contract — skill complete (compaction-contract.md §Lifecycle)  # timeout: 5000

Step 8: Draft contributor reply (only when --reply)

REPLY_MODE not set → skip.

export CSID="${CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID:-$PPID}"
IFS= read -r _OSS_SHARED < "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/review-oss-shared-${CSID}" 2>/dev/null || _OSS_SHARED=""  # reload (Check 41)
cat "$_OSS_SHARED/shepherd-reply-protocol.md"  # timeout: 5000

shepherd-reply-protocol.md (loaded above) — apply invocation pattern and terminal summary format.

Spawn with:

• Report path: review output file from Step 5
• PR number and contributor handle: from Step 1 gh pr view output
• Output path: .temp/output-reply-<PR#>-$(date -u +%Y-%m-%d).md

Part 2 compliance gate (after shepherd returns — do NOT trust the return line alone):

# only when findings reference file:line — true LGTM has none
REPLY_OUT=".temp/output-reply-<PR#>-$(date -u +%Y-%m-%d).md"  # timeout: 5000
grep -qE '^\| *Importance *\| *Confidence *\| *File *\| *Line' "$REPLY_OUT" && echo "PART2_PRESENT=true" || echo "PART2_PRESENT=false"

PART2_PRESENT=false while the Step 5 report has ≥1 file:line finding → reply is non-compliant (findings folded into prose). Re-spawn oss:shepherd once with the same inputs plus: "Part 2 table is MANDATORY — every file:line finding from the report must be its own row in the | Importance | Confidence | File | Line | Comment | table; do not fold file:line findings into Part 1 prose." Re-check; if still absent, surface ⚠ Part 2 table missing — findings remain in prose in the terminal summary.

End with ## Confidence block per CLAUDE.md. Always last thing, regardless of --reply.

rm -f .temp/state/skill-contract.md  # clear contract — skill complete (compaction-contract.md §Lifecycle)  # timeout: 5000

Scenarios:

1. FIX scope: single bug-fix PR with 1 changed file → scope=FIX, 2 agents skipped: perf-optimizer (scope), solution-architect (scope). Remaining: sw-engineer, qa-specialist, doc-scribe, linting-expert, challenger (unless --no-challenge) = 5 agents run (+ Codex if installed).
2. FEATURE scope: new feature PR with API changes → scope=FEATURE, all 7 agents run
3. --reply mode: existing review report + --reply flag → skip to Step 8, no agents spawned
4. DOCS_TYPING scope: PR with only annotation-type .py changes (no logic) → Step 0 sets PR_TYPE=DOCS_TYPING, CHALLENGE_ENABLED=false, CONSOLIDATOR_AGENT=foundry:linting-expert; only linting-expert spawned; Step 5 uses linting-expert consolidator.
5. TESTS_CI scope: PR with only test files + CI config → Step 0 sets PR_TYPE=TESTS_CI, CHALLENGE_ENABLED=false, CONSOLIDATOR_AGENT=foundry:qa-specialist; qa-specialist + linting-expert spawned; Step 5 uses qa-specialist consolidator.

• PR review acceptance criteria — canonical here: oss:shepherd cross-references these criteria; don't duplicate in shepherd. Shepherd defers to this file for acceptance thresholds, severity definitions.
• Critical issues always surfaced regardless of scope
• Skip sections with no issues — no padding. Isolated code without git context → skip OSS Checks and Performance Concerns unless evidence of perf issues (nested loops, I/O in tight loops) or OSS concerns (hardcoded secrets, new deps).
• Signal-to-noise gate: Function/class ≤50 lines with 1–2 critical/high issues → max 2 additional medium/low findings. Rest as [nit] in "Minor Observations". First 3 findings reader sees = most impactful.
• PR mode: check CI first — red → report without full review
• Blocking issues need explicit [blocking] prefix
• Follow-up chains:
  • [blocking] bugs or regressions → /develop:fix (requires develop plugin) to reproduce with test, apply targeted fix
  • Structural or quality issues → /develop:refactor (requires develop plugin) for test-first improvements
  • Security findings in auth/input/deps → run pip-audit for dep CVEs; address OWASP issues via /develop:fix (requires develop plugin)
  • Mechanical issues beyond Step 5 → dispatch internally: Agent(subagent_type="codex:codex-rescue", prompt="<task>")
  • Docstrings, type annotations, renames → dispatch Agent(subagent_type="codex:codex-rescue", prompt="<task description>") per finding
  • PR feedback for contributor → --reply to auto-draft via oss:shepherd, or invoke oss:shepherd manually for custom framing
