name: multi-model-review description: Run the 3-Layer Review (you: visual/functional check, a second AI: code quality, a security-focused AI: vulnerabilities), and be explicit about the limits of same-model-family review. Use after any major feature; for anything security-critical, pair with /security-audit.

Multi-Model Review (3-Layer Review)

The founder can't read code, so "review" has to produce an actionable verdict, not prose. The three layers catch different classes of problems and aren't interchangeable — running one doesn't excuse skipping another.

What to do

1. Layer 1 — founder, visual + functional. Point to /verify-path for the structured PASS/FAIL walkthrough. This skill precedes that step, it doesn't replace it.

2. Layer 2 — second AI, code quality. Use the Red/Yellow/Green prompt already codified in commands/review-code.md — BUGS, SECURITY, PERFORMANCE, QUALITY.

3. Be honest about the cross-model caveat. A same-model-family subagent persona is a weaker substitute for true cross-model review — different model families miss different things, and a persona prompt alone doesn't reproduce that. For anything that matters (payments, auth, user data), recommend pasting a redacted excerpt into a genuinely different model provider rather than relying on an in-session "act as reviewer" persona. Always strip secrets, tokens, and user data before exporting anything outside the session — cross-model review is not worth a leak.

4. Layer 3 — security AI. Don't fold security review into this same pass. Hand off explicitly to /security-audit (the LOCK checklist) — commands/review-code.md already says to do this; keep both consistent.

5. Consolidate into one Red/Yellow/Green verdict per layer, with a specific fix for anything not Green — never "this could be improved." When Layer 2/3 run via the code-critic/security-reviewer subagents, each report leads with a standardized VERDICT/FINDINGS/ RECOMMENDATION/CONFIDENCE block — read that first for the consolidated verdict rather than re-deriving it from the detailed per-category grid below it.

6. State which layers actually ran before declaring anything "reviewed." A clean Layer 2 pass isn't evidence of security. A clean Layer 1 pass isn't evidence of code quality.

Anti-patterns to avoid

• Presenting an in-session "second AI persona" as equivalent to real cross-model review without saying so.
• Skipping /security-audit for anything touching auth, payments, or user data — even after Layers 1-2 come back clean.
• Prose instead of Red/Yellow/Green with a specific, actionable fix.
