description	Review orchestrator: assess your application and recommend the right combination of design, security, privacy, compliance, resilience, performance, SEO, and GEO reviews.

Review Orchestrator

When to use

• User wants a comprehensive review but doesn't know where to start
• Pre-launch readiness assessment
• Post-incident review planning
• New team member wants to understand review coverage

How it works

Three modes:

• Interactive triage (default) — asks context questions, recommends a review plan
• Full suite ($review --all) — runs all applicable categories
• Targeted — user invokes a specific review directly

Steps

1. Gather context

• Read the project: tech stack, framework, package.json, routes, components
• Check git diff for recent changes
• Look for existing review reports in shiplight/reports/
• Check for compliance markers (HIPAA mentions, PCI references, GDPR cookies)

2. Ask targeted questions (max 4)

Ask one at a time, with auto-detected defaults:

1. What type of application? (SaaS, healthcare, fintech, e-commerce, internal tool, marketing site, API-only)
2. What triggered this review? (pre-launch, new feature, dependency update, security incident, audit prep, routine)
3. Any compliance requirements? (none, HIPAA, SOC2, PCI-DSS, GDPR, multiple) — auto-detect from codebase
4. Specific concerns? (open-ended, optional)

3. Generate review plan

Based on answers, categorize all 8 review types as:

• CRITICAL — must run, high risk of issues
• RECOMMENDED — should run, meaningful value
• OPTIONAL — nice to have

Present the plan with rationale for each recommendation. Include estimated depth (quick/standard/thorough) for each.

SEO vs GEO prioritization by product type:

Product type	SEO	GEO
Developer tools, API products, SaaS	RECOMMENDED	CRITICAL
E-commerce, local business, marketplace	CRITICAL	OPTIONAL
Content/media, documentation, blog	CRITICAL	CRITICAL
Internal tools	—	—

Provide a decision matrix table:

Review	Priority	Rationale	Depth
$security-review	CRITICAL	New auth feature + SaaS app	thorough
$privacy-review	CRITICAL	Handles user PII, GDPR applies	standard
etc.

4. Execute

Ask: "Run all CRITICAL reviews now? [Y/n] Or pick specific ones."

Run selected reviews sequentially. After each, show a brief summary before proceeding to the next.

5. Unified report

After all reviews complete, generate a unified report:

• Overall readiness score (0-10)
• Per-category scores
• Top 5 findings across all categories (by severity)
• Regression test summary (total YAML tests generated)
• Report saved to shiplight/reports/review-{date}.md

Available Reviews

Skill	Category	What it checks
$design-review	Visual/UI	Responsive, a11y, design consistency, i18n readiness
$security-review	Security	OWASP Top 10, auth, headers, supply chain, pen testing
$privacy-review	Privacy	PII handling, tracking, data flow, consent
$compliance-review	Compliance	HIPAA, SOC2, PCI-DSS, GDPR checklists
$resilience-review	Reliability	Error handling, degradation, API contracts
$performance-review	Performance	Core Web Vitals, bundle size, runtime perf
$seo-review	Discoverability	Meta tags, structured data, crawlability
$geo-review	AI Discoverability	LLM citation readiness, entity authority, structured claims

Report Format

All review skills produce reports in a consistent format saved to shiplight/reports/{review-name}-{date}.md. The orchestrator merges these into a unified report.

Tips

• Run $review before every major launch
• Individual reviews can be invoked directly when you know what you need
• Review reports accumulate over time — the orchestrator can show trends
• YAML regression tests from reviews accumulate in shiplight/tests/
