description	Use from the canonical review skill when reviewing changes since a fixed point against standards and spec.

Two-Axis Review

Review the diff between HEAD and a fixed point along two separate axes:

• Standards: does the code follow documented repo standards?
• Spec: does the code implement the originating issue, PRD, or spec?

Keep the axes separate so one does not mask the other.

Process

1. Pin the fixed point supplied by the user. If they did not supply one, ask.
2. Capture git diff <fixed-point>...HEAD and git log <fixed-point>..HEAD --oneline.
3. Confirm the fixed point resolves and the diff is non-empty.
4. Identify the spec source from commit messages, a user-provided path, a matching spec file, or the issue tracker.
5. Identify standards sources such as CODING_STANDARDS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, AGENTS.md, or relevant docs under docs/.
6. Run Standards and Spec reviews independently, preferably in parallel when subagents are available.
7. Present findings under ## Standards and ## Spec. Do not merge or rerank the axes.

Standards Brief

Report every place the diff violates a documented standard. Cite the standard file and rule. Distinguish hard violations from judgment calls. Skip anything tooling enforces.

Spec Brief

Report missing or partial requirements, unrequested behavior, and requirements that look implemented incorrectly. Quote or cite the spec line for each finding.

Completion

Done when both axes have reported findings or explicitly reported no findings, and the final summary names the worst issue within each axis.
