Sober Review
Use this skill to review changed code against Sober's checklist.
Sober owns the portable checklist, not the reviewer implementation. Run the checklist in a separate read-only helper when the runtime supports that:
- Claude Code: ask for a read-only subagent or your own user-level reviewer.
- Codex: ask Codex to spawn a helper/reviewer subagent, or use a custom reviewer agent you installed.
- If no helper is available, self-review with this checklist before committing.
Read references/checklist.md first. If the change touches security-sensitive code, also read references/security.md. If the change adds or changes behavior, also read references/tests.md.
Return only:
REVIEW: <path or diff>
Verdict: PASS | CHANGES REQUESTED
- [CATEGORY] file:line — issue -> fix
Use PASS only when there are no issues. A review reports findings; it never edits files or runs deploy/build commands.
