/review

A second opinion before committing. Review checks alignment between intent and execution, detects drift, and decides: continue, adjust, or salvage.

This is part of the Intent > Execution > Review loop that runs at every scale--from a single commit to a multi-week project. Review closes the loop.

The same skill also provides an independent review mode for /ship. A fresh, separate sub-agent returns an explicit APPROVE or REQUEST CHANGES; when invoked for the final-diff gate, it reviews the exact commit proposed for merge.

When to Use

Invoke /review when:

• Before committing - natural checkpoint before code hits the branch
• At natural pause points - end of a work session, end of a subtask
• Something feels off - you've been coding a while and lost track of where you are
• Scope seems to have grown - the task feels bigger than when you started
• Before PRs - final check before requesting review from humans

Do not use when: You're in deep flow and making progress. Don't interrupt productive work. Review at natural breaks, not arbitrary intervals.
