Individual skill

review

Closeout pass on a finished substantive change — sequence refactor-clean (shape), code-review (diff), and write-docs (docs) so all three run, in the order where each feeds the next. Use after implementing a slice or feature and before calling it done or committing; when the user asks for a final review, a cleanup-and-document pass, or to "review everything." For a diff-only audit, reach code-review directly.

# Review

A finished change earns "done" only after three lenses pass: its **shape**, its
**diff**, and its **docs**. Each has a specialist skill. This skill owns only
what they can't — the order they run in, the loop between them, and one verdict.

## Workflow

1. **Scope.** Fix the diff under review and confirm it's substantive; skip the
   whole pass for trivial edits.
2. **Shape — [refactor-clean](../refactor-clean/SKILL.md).** Run it first, while
   restructuring is cheap and before you audit a diff that's about to move.
3. **Diff — [code-review](../code-review/SKILL.md).** Audit the settled shape. A
   finding that forces a structural change sends you back to step 2, not onward.
