Iterative Self-Review

A controlled loop where the main agent owns the answer and, when the user explicitly asks for verification or review, a clean-context sub-agent performs blind verification before the response is surfaced to the user. The sub-agent never edits the artifact, never writes the final response, and never receives anything beyond the applicable user input and the current main-agent response.

The loop guards against two failure modes:

• The main agent over-trusting its first draft.
• The verifier being biased by hidden hints, prior findings, or the main agent's reasoning.

When to use

Use this skill only when the user explicitly asks for verification, review, re-checking, proof, cross-checking, or another second-pass quality gate. Do not run this skill automatically for ordinary conversation or routine task completion.

When invoked, treat all of the following as current_response artifacts:

• Code work and file-change reports.
• Documents, design proposals, specifications, and plans.
• Ordinary prose answers, summaries, recommendations, and explanations.
• Claims that work was done, files contain something, or a conclusion follows from inspected material.
