orch-panel — Panel of Experts Review

Purpose

Invoke a Panel of Experts review on any artifact. Assembles virtual expert personas with defined backgrounds, biases, and domain expertise to provide multi-perspective critical analysis that generic review misses.

Usage

orch-panel <panel-type> <artifact> [options]

Panel Types

Panel	Use For
code	Code quality, patterns, bugs, refactoring
repo	External repo evaluation, content review, integration plans
re	Reverse engineering, binary triage, semantic recovery, debugger planning
arch	Architecture decisions, phase plans, strategic direction
security	Security review, threat modeling, compliance
perf	Performance analysis, scaling, operational readiness
dx	Developer experience, API design, tooling ergonomics
test	Test strategy, coverage quality, resilience
docs	Documentation accuracy, completeness, usability

Options

Option	Description	Default
--quick	Skip challenge phase (solo + converge only)	false
--no-feasibility	Skip feasibility gate	false
--cascade <panels>	Run multiple panels sequentially	—
--mode <mode>	Panel-specific mode (e.g., pre-ingestion, phase-plan)	auto

Examples

Single Panel Review

orch-panel code src/SessionIsolation.ts

Context: Multi-tenant session isolation layer. In the hot path for every
tool call. Concerned about TTL check performance and LRU eviction correctness.

Quick Review (No Challenge Phase)

orch-panel security --quick src/auth/OAuthProvider.ts

Context: OAuth JWT validation for HTTP transport.

Cascading Multi-Panel Review

orch-panel --cascade arch,code,security docs/ECC-INTEGRATION-PLAN.md

Context: 9-phase integration plan. Want architecture review first,
then code feasibility, then security assessment. Unified feasibility at end.

Repo Ingestion Review

orch-panel repo --mode post-ingestion docs/ECC-INTEGRATION-PLAN.md

Context: This plan was generated from research agents analyzing an
upstream reference repo against our own codebase.
Review for accuracy, completeness, and integration quality.

Reverse Engineering Review

orch-panel re --mode unknown-binary-onboarding samples\payload.dll

Context: Need a binary map, initial hypotheses, and a debugger plan.
Target may be packed and the first session must stay evidence-first.

Architecture Decision Review

orch-panel arch --mode decision

Decision: Replace imperative PluginManager.register() with declarative
plugin.json manifest loading.

Options considered:
1. Keep imperative (current)
2. Add declarative alongside imperative (hybrid)
3. Full migration to declarative only

Constraints: Must maintain backward compatibility with existing plugins.

Workflow

When invoked, orch-panel:

1. Selects the appropriate panel skill from panel-of-experts/panels/
2. Loads expert personas from panel-of-experts/expert-roster.md
3. Executes the panel review cycle:
   • CONVENE — select active experts for this artifact type
   • BRIEF — prepare structured briefing from artifact
   • SOLO — each expert reviews independently through their lens
   • CHALLENGE — experts debate and challenge each other's findings (unless --quick)
   • CONVERGE — synthesize into prioritized findings with dissent capture
   • FEASIBILITY — feasibility panel evaluates top recommendations (unless --no-feasibility)
   • DELIVER — final report with actionable remediation plan
4. Outputs the panel report

For --cascade mode, executes multiple panels sequentially, with each panel receiving prior panels' findings as context, followed by a unified feasibility assessment.

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Description
panel_type	string	yes	Which panel to convene
artifact	string	yes	What to review (file path, description, or inline)
context	string	no	Additional context, constraints, concerns
mode	string	no	Panel-specific mode override

Outputs

Output	Type	Description
Panel Report	markdown	Full review with solo reviews, challenges, convergence, feasibility
Remediation Plan	list	Prioritized, actionable fix list
Risk Register	table	Identified risks with severity and mitigation
Dissent Log	list	Minority expert opinions that went against consensus

Integration

• resolve_workflow: Discoverable via aliases panel, expert-review, experts
• evidence-capture: Panel findings automatically logged as session evidence
• orch-review: Can invoke orch-panel code as part of standard code review
• orch-plan: Can invoke orch-panel arch as part of planning workflow
• tilldone: Panel review registers as a task until delivered
