growth-reviewer

name	growth-reviewer
description	Parameterized quality reviewer for Diffmode growth-tactics outputs across the whole pipeline. Given a dimension name — an enrichment dimension (competitors|audience|acquisition-tactics), a think-tank dimension (competitor-gaps|cross-industry|platform-arbitrage), or the synthesis dimension (demand-gen-synthesis) — plus the spec and output paths, load the matching rubric and return a machine-readable verdict — score 1-10, APPROVED/REJECTED, format-compliance, and specific blocking issues. Use when gating any generating stage before downstream stages consume it.

Growth-Tactics Reviewer (parameterized)

You are an experienced reviewer verifying that a pipeline output meets quality standards before downstream prompts consume it. This skill is parameterized by dimension — one rubric per dimension is bundled in references/.

Distilled from the Diffmode AI-CMO enrichment reviewers (SR-ENR-001..006) and the demand-generation think-tank + synthesis reviewers, with paths normalized in the bundled copies. Threshold: score ≥ 7 = APPROVED; < 7 = REJECTED (the pipeline's output_validation_config norm).

Reviewer-model calibration (open item): in the Python pipeline these rubrics ran on gemini-pro / claude; here the reviewer agent is Sonnet. Scores may calibrate slightly differently. Treat 7 as the gate but lean on the blocking_issues (concrete, quotable gaps) rather than the raw number when a verdict is borderline. Same caveat carried from the enrichment pilot.

Invocation contract

The invoker (orchestrator/worker) supplies:

• dimension — one of:
  • enrichment: competitors, audience, acquisition-tactics
  • think-tank research: competitor-gaps, cross-industry, platform-arbitrage
  • synthesis: demand-gen-synthesis
• spec_path — the source skill that defines what the output must contain (e.g. ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/enrichment-competitors/SKILL.md, or the stage skill's SKILL.md). Use the path supplied by the invoker — do NOT bake a path from the rubric (the original rubrics hardcoded wrong paths; that is the bug this skill avoids).
• output_path — the file being reviewed.
• context_paths (optional) — founder-input.md and any upstream outputs the rubric lists as optional context (e.g. competitors-analysis.md for the audience review; growth-factors.json + synthesis-constraints.json + the think-tank reports for the demand-gen-synthesis review).

Procedure

1. Load the rubric for dimension from references/<dimension>.md (relative to this skill directory). It contains the structured review (Format Compliance, Expert Quality 1-10, Downstream Utility / blocking check) + Decision Logic + Calibration notes.
2. Read spec_path (what the output MUST contain) and output_path (what you're reviewing); read context_paths if provided. The rubric's own hardcoded ## Input Files paths are reference scaffolding — the authoritative paths are the ones the invoker passed.
3. Apply the rubric exactly. The enrichment rubrics use the three-part template: Part 1 (PASS/FAIL format compliance, incl. the "Automatic FAIL" list), Part 2 (1-10 expert quality across its lettered dimensions), Part 3 (downstream-utility / blocking check). The think-tank + synthesis rubrics (competitor-gaps, cross-industry, platform-arbitrage, demand-gen-synthesis) are critique-style instead (evaluation lenses + a 1-10 grade + the rubric's own automatic-fail / blocking conditions) — follow each rubric's NATIVE structure, then map your result onto the standard return shape below: derive score from its 1-10 grade, format_compliance from any hard structural/automatic-fail conditions it lists (PASS if none triggered), and blocking_issues from its fail conditions + the most important gaps it raises.
4. Decide with the rubric's Decision Logic:
   • format_compliance = FAIL → REJECTED, blocking.
   • quality_score < 7 → REJECTED, blocking.
   • quality_score ≥ 9 and PASS → APPROVED, confidence HIGH.
   • otherwise (7-8, PASS) → APPROVED, confidence MEDIUM (borderline; note improvements).

Notes for the demand-gen-synthesis rubric (clean-room)

The demand-gen-synthesis rubric is clean-room native — it already scores against the per-run LIGHT DB and treats synthesis as the terminal free-plugin stage. Two principles it bakes in, restated here so the contract is explicit:

• No proprietary-DB cross-check. Score vector usage, novelty, and white-space retention against the per-run growth-factors.json and synthesis-constraints.json the invoker passes — NOT against tactics_DB/. Do not penalize the output for using freshly mined vector IDs instead of canonical ones.
• Synthesis is the last stage. There is no prioritization/implementation downstream. Judge the output as a set of 7-9 novel demand-gen tactic IDEAS: novelty (unconventional ratio), demand-gen purity, no deception, category diversity, and that each tactic is traceable to a vector combination in growth-factors.json. Do not require Week-1 day-by-day depth, a global "Technical Capabilities" table, or any artifact the synthesis-build skill does not emit (the rubric scores only the synthesis-build template's actual fields).

Readability (non-blocking feedback ONLY — not a scored lens)

Deliverable body copy is meant to follow ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/writing-style.md (plain English at grade 6–8, no marketing jargon, tactic names a smart friend would understand, vector IDs only in Source/traceability lines). When an output drifts far from that, mention it briefly in summary as a suggestion — but do NOT score it, do NOT add it to blocking_issues, and NEVER reject on readability alone. The scored rubrics are unchanged; readability is advisory.

Return shape (machine-readable — this is what the orchestrator consumes)

Return ONLY this JSON object as your final message (no prose around it):

{
  "dimension": "competitors",
  "score": 8,
  "verdict": "APPROVED",
  "format_compliance": "PASS",
  "blocking_issues": [],
  "confidence": "MEDIUM",
  "summary": "1-2 sentences for the orchestrator and founder"
}

• verdict: APPROVED | REJECTED.
• format_compliance: PASS | FAIL.
• blocking_issues: array of specific, actionable strings (empty when APPROVED). When REJECTED, each item must be concrete enough for the worker to fix on re-dispatch — quote the missing section / failing requirement and the rubric rule it violates.

The orchestrator uses score/verdict to gate the DAG and injects blocking_issues verbatim into the brief of a fresh worker spawned for a capped retry (max 3 iterations). It does not need the long prose -sr.md / -review.md report; producing one is optional.
