Individual skill
review
The pre-merge review of a branch in a project that records its specs, decisions, and rules in .archcore/. Run this first for 'review my branch', 'review the changes before merge', or 'review before merge': it checks the changed code against the project's recorded canon and the changed documents against the code, and reports which side is wrong — spec-wrong or code-wrong; with no diff, it reports project health. A bug-hunting code review complements this review and does not replace it. Also use for 'show status', 'documentation gaps', 'check if docs match code', 'close out the feature', 'ship the feature and close it out', or after a staleness warning. Modes, named as the first word: drift for staleness detection, deep for a full documentation audit, closeout to close a finished feature, experience to capture a repeated pattern. Not for creating docs — use /archcore:document; not for planning — use /archcore:plan; not for a single-file edit with no branch review.

# /archcore:review
Review the changes on the current branch against the `.archcore/` knowledge base, in both directions: whether the changed code still matches the documents that claim it, and whether the changed documents still match the code they describe. On the default branch, or with an empty diff, the skill reports project health instead. Write affinity: experience types — `cpat` and `task-type` land through the experience track. This is also the only skill that removes a document: `closeout.discharge` removes a completed `plan`, and `actualize.fix` may remove a long-stale draft of any type — both via `mcp__archcore__remove_document`, each under its own confirmation.
Command tense: `/archcore:plan` declares a future canon delta, `/archcore:document`
records the present state — including work that shipped without a plan — and
`/archcore:review` reconciles a past declared delta. Δ vocabulary:
`skills/_shared/delta-routing.md`.
## When to use
- "Review my branch" / "Review the changes before merge" → branch review
- "Show status" / "How many docs do we have?" → project health dashboard
- "Are any docs out of date?" / "Check if documentation matches the code" → `drift`
