Execution Critique

sem diff is the primary diff tool. When sem is available, always use sem diff first for entity-level change detection (functions, types, methods). Use git diff only as fallback when sem is absent. The entire skill follows this convention — the fallback table in Tool Availability covers every sem command's git equivalent.

Standalone awareness: when inside stelow, reads scope + mode from .stelow/*/plans/spec-tech*.md and index.json. When standalone, auto-detects input type (plan path, directory, URL, or nothing). The HAS_WORKFLOW_DIR flag gates stelow-specific features; all audit criteria work in both modes.

Overview

Run a structured audit after any implementation — whether it followed the full stelow or was done ad-hoc. Every evaluation criterion runs in every mode; only the source of truth differs based on what input is available.

Tools: See references/cli-tools/subagents.md for subagent patterns. For large outputs, use bash with output truncation, or read with offset/limit.
