# Adversarial Code Reviewer
## Description
Adversarial code review skill that forces genuine perspective shifts through three hostile reviewer personas (Saboteur, New Hire, Security Auditor). Each persona MUST find at least one issue — no "LGTM" escapes. Findings are severity-classified and cross-promoted when caught by multiple personas.
## Features
- **Three adversarial personas** — Saboteur (production breaks), New Hire (maintainability), Security Auditor (OWASP-informed)
- **Mandatory findings** — Each persona must surface at least one issue, eliminating rubber-stamp reviews
- **Severity promotion** — Issues caught by 2+ personas are promoted one severity level
- **Self-review trap breaker** — Concrete techniques to overcome shared mental model blind spots
- **Structured verdicts** — BLOCK / CONCERNS / CLEAN with clear merge guidance
