specrew-review
Type: Operational Skill
Schema: v1
Status: Active
Namespace: /specrew
Canonical command: /specrew-review
Purpose
Trigger or inspect the Specrew review-oriented workflow — replay the persisted reviewer closeout packet for a completed iteration.
When to Use
- When a reviewer wants to inspect the review summary for a completed iteration.
- When replaying the reviewer closeout packet.
- Invoke this skill when the user says: "Show the review summary", "Review the iteration", "Show reviewer output".
Boundary Safety
This skill supports review work but does not bypass the required human decision point. A human reviewer must still explicitly approve lifecycle advancement. Invoking /specrew-review is not equivalent to approving an iteration for closure or advancement.
Feature 016 rule: Humans remain the approval authority for major boundary transitions. This command may not imply authorization to advance from any lifecycle boundary.
Coexistence Contract
This skill is part of the /specrew-* command surface. It coexists with /speckit.* review-related commands without collision or shadow. Using /specrew-review does not substitute for /speckit.* lifecycle actions that require explicit human authorization.
Invocation
/specrew-review [<iteration>] [--project-path <path>] [--feature <id>]
[--iteration <NNN>] [--quiet] [--json] [--open]
Backed by: specrew review / scripts/specrew-review.ps1
Inputs
| Input | Type | Required | Description |
|---|
<iteration> | string (positional) | No | Iteration number to replay (defaults to most recent closed iteration) |
--project-path | string | No | Target Specrew project path (defaults to current directory) |
--feature | string | No | Restrict lookup to one feature directory under specs\ |
--iteration | string | No | Replay a specific iteration directory |
--quiet | flag | No | Emit only the stable machine-parseable digest line |
--json | flag | No | Emit JSON summary instead of the visual reviewer summary |
--open | flag | No | Open reviewer-index.md and review-diagrams.md when present |
Outputs
- Reviewer closeout packet for the specified iteration.
- Raw/native output from the underlying
specrew review workflow with minimal wrapper context.
