description	Run matched A/B reviewer calibration for /f: compare factory reviewer, raw codex exec, and delegated subagent reviews on the same frozen PR/work-item envelope.

Reviewer Calibration

Use this skill when /f, /factory, or a PR/work-item review needs to prove whether delegated reviewers miss blockers that raw codex exec catches.

Rule

Calibration is default-on for real /f runs. Treat --reviewer-calibration=true as present unless the user explicitly passes --reviewer-calibration=false and gives a reason.

Do not claim one reviewer underperformed another unless both reviewed the same frozen envelope at the same SHA with the same prompt.

Frozen Envelope

Create evidence/<run-id>/reviewer-calibration/envelope.json with:

• target_repo
• target_pr or work_item
• head_sha
• base_sha
• diff_path or embedded diff hash
• PR body / task text snapshot
• evidence artifact paths and hashes
• test log paths and hashes
• factory run_id
• exact shared review prompt

Reviewers

Run all available reviewers against the same envelope:

1. Factory/in-graph reviewer output, if the selected DOT has one.
2. Raw terminal mirror:

codex exec --yolo -m gpt-5.3-codex-spark \
  "Review this PR/evidence/diff. Blocker findings only. Use this exact envelope: <path>"

3. Delegated reviewer/subagent, when the current session supports subagents.

Artifacts

Write:

evidence/<run-id>/reviewer-calibration/
  envelope.json
  prompt.txt
  raw-codex.output.md
  raw-codex.findings.json
  subagent.output.md
  subagent.findings.json
  factory-reviewer.output.md
  factory-reviewer.findings.json
  comparison.json
  adjudication.md

If a reviewer is unavailable, write an output file explaining why and mark that reviewer unavailable in comparison.json.

Finding Schema

Each reviewer should return JSON plus free-form text:

{
  "reviewer": "raw_codex|delegated_subagent|factory_parallel_reviewer",
  "target_head_sha": "...",
  "verdict": "blockers|no_blockers|inconclusive",
  "findings": [
    {
      "severity": "blocker|major|minor",
      "claim": "...",
      "file": "...",
      "line": 123,
      "evidence": "...",
      "repro_or_reason": "..."
    }
  ],
  "confidence": "high|medium|low"
}

Adjudication

A finding is confirmed only if one of these is true:

• the user confirms it;
• the PR/work item changes to fix it;
• CI/test/review evidence later proves it;
• another independent reviewer confirms it with exact evidence.

Classify reviewer deltas:

• confirmed_miss: reviewer A missed a later-confirmed blocker found by reviewer B.
• unconfirmed_delta: reviewers disagree, but no ground truth exists yet.
• false_positive: reviewer claimed a blocker later disproven by evidence.

Final /f Output

Include:

Reviewer calibration: enabled <artifact-path>
Raw Codex verdict: <...>
Delegated reviewer verdict: <...>
Factory reviewer verdict: <...|unavailable>
Agreement: <yes|no|partial>
Confirmed gap: <pending|yes|no>

If disabled:

Reviewer calibration: disabled <explicit reason>
